The libel case versus first district councilor Joselito Macrohon was dismissed by the Provincial Prosecutor Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay.

On a nine page resolution, it states “Premises all considered, undersigned hereby dismisses case for libel under Article 335 of the Revised Penal Code in relation to Republic Act No. 10175, otherwise known as the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 and violation of section 6 paragraph F of Republic Act No. 11469, otherwise known as Bayanihan to Heal as One Act against Macrohon for insufficiency od evidence amounting to lack or no probable cause at all.”

Resolution was signed January 4, 2021 at Ipil Zamboanga Sibugay by acting city prosecutor Rommel Cabrera Cudal.

The case versus Macrohon was filed by Allen Yu Go of Chinitos Food Service, Inc.

Recall, on July 23, 2020 Macrohon posted on his Facebook account stating, “P360 per pack for 1,500 persons? Why is this? The price of other catering services is only around P145 per pack meal.  Again, I’m calling and challenging our City Mayor, Bids and Awards Committee, and the supplier for transparency, please explain this to the Zamboangueños and taxpayers.”

City prosecutor inhibited and the regional prosecutors office forwarded the case to Ipil.

He said, this is the strategy of the complainant for him to shut up. (R.G. Antonet A. Go)
