In fairness to Ms. Sanchez, our host interviewer, she only found out she was interviewing a Pasig mayoralty candidate on the day itself and it was not Ms. Sanchez who was in contact with the couple for the interview.
We have reached out to your camp a few times since your former mayoral term and even informed your mother, Ms. Coney Reyes, about this feature story on the Discayas—- but you had always declined requests for an interview.
When this interview was conducted it was well before campaign period, aired in November 2024 and January 2025. Yes, Mayor Sotto, there are payments for certain businesses such as that of the Discayas, products, personalities, companies or politicians much like payments made for advertisements —— and these go to the network with an official receipt issued to client. There is no such thing as a P10Million placement for an interview. It is irresponsible to even say such, to say the least. As your malice is posted on Facebook and publicly besmirches the reputation of Ms. Sanchez, this clearly constitutes cyber libel.
To insinuate that our show is irresponsible in that we only air what is paid for is slanderous.
Who are we to presume our interviewees as evil with no basis or evidence long before they come into controversy?
Are we also to presume you are guilty of overpricing the construction of government buildings just because your opponent thinks so?
