Veteran columnist Cristy Fermin revealed that she didn’t win the libel case filed by Sharon Cuneta and Kiko Pangilinan against her.
In her online program “Cristy Ferminute,” the so-called ‘Pambansang Marites,’ said that she already received a letter from the court on October 17 and posted bail.
She was guilty on all five counts and was required to pay P240,000 in total.
“Talo po ako sa five counts ng libel at ang sabi nga natin, inflation is real. Kasi hindi lamang po mga bilihin ang tumataas ngayon. Ilang taon na po ang nakakaraan ng matalo ako sa piskalya ay nag-bail lang po ako ng P10,000 para sa isang kaso ng libel. Ngayon po, P48,000 na po per count ang bail,” said Fermin.
However, Cristy said that she was planning to appeal the decision.
Cristy was also facing charges from celebrities like Bea Alonzo and Dominic Roque.
The issue started when Cristy made claims about KC Concepcion and her relationship with Sharon and Kiko.
She also mentioned the alleged rift between KC and her half-sister, Frankie.
On May 10, 2024, Sharon and Kiko finally attempted to end Cristy’s discussion about their private family matters by filing a complaint against the columnist.
As of writing, Sharon and Kiko have yet to release any statement on the court’s decision against Cristy.
