A social media personality was put behind bars after he allegedly asked for money from his ex-girlfriend in exchange for not spreading their private photos.
According to the report of NBI, social media personality Dibson Maybuena Manubay was caught by the authorities during an entrapment operation on July 6, 2024, in Mandaluyong City.
The complainant said she already ended her relationship with Manubay due to the latter’s attitude.
However, instead of moving on, Manubay used the private photos of his ex-girlfriend as a way to extort money from her.
Manubay allegedly asked for P30,000 from the complainant and even used his social media platform to tease the said private photos to his 18,000 followers.
The social media personality denied the allegations, saying that he was offering his ex-girlfriend to invest in his clothing line.
“Hindi ko siya hinihingan ng pera bali ang usapan po namin doon sa pera na ‘yon, dadagdagan niya ‘yung 20k ko para doon sa clothing line na ginagawa naming business,” he said.
“Kasi sabi niya sige aayusin na natin yang relasyon natin para wala ng gulo,” he added.
But the complainant showed sufficient evidence that Manubay forcefully asked her for money.
