PEP finally issued an apology to Richard Gutierrez!
Richard Gutierrez and editors of the Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) website headed by editor-in-chief Jo-Ann Maglipon met today, February 9, 2010 on the libel suit filed by Richard over a false report on the PEP website last March 29, 2009 and both parties agreed to settle the issue amicably.
And part of the agreement is for the PEP to issue a public apology on its website.
Below is the official statement issued by PEP:
“The Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) hereby reiterates that Mr. Richard Gutierrez was never involved in any “heated altercation” or “tutukan ng baril” with Michael Flores or with any other individual on 29 March 2009, during the party of Zorro director Mark Reyes, contrary to an article briefly uploaded on its website on the same day.
“PEP editor-in-chief Jo-Ann Maglipon, managing editor Karen Pagsolingan and staffwriter Bong Godinez acknowledge their error; repeat their assurance that they have no malicious agenda against Mr. Gutierrez; and apologize for the publication of the article and their failure to get his side of the story and for the hurt it has caused him and his family.”
With that apology Richard Gutierrez then signed the affidavit of desistance and the court declared the Libel case as closed.
