Actor Richard Yap is optimistic that the cyber libel case against former Cebu City Councilor Prisca Niña Mabatid will follow through.
Mabatid previously accused Yap of abandoning a son out of wedlock and using public funds when he ran for Congressman in Cebu.
“Thank you Lord that the wheels of Justice are finally moving,” he said on Facebook.
“Even though she tried to influence the Fiscals by calling them during the investigation which was illegal. The fiscals were honest and fair and upright and could not be swayed by her threats and use her of her influence.”
Meanwhile, Mabatid countered, saying that Yap’s alleged son filed a paternal suit against the actor.
“As an advocate of the protection and welfare of children, I pray for DNA TESTING kay maluoy ko sa bata. pero di man cya pa test but once the court orders wala cya’y mahimo? in my opinion liwat kaayo cya ni richard yap,” wrote Mabatid.
“Josh Jensen good luck dong, truth shall prevail,” she said.
Mabatid recalled the time Yap’s alleged son’s struggle to reconcile with the actor.
“Good luck Josh, I remembered your story na una mo cya hinanap sa office nya kasama lola mo, 3 years old ka pa lang nuon pero hindi nagpapakita, nakita mo cya sa chowking advertisement pero hindi mo alam saan puntahan.
“Then nung nag artista cya pumunta ka sa abs cbn ilang beses pero walang nangyari sabi mo nag tatago. gusto mo mag file ng case matagal na pero wala kang address.
“Finally sa Cebu mo nakuha ang residence nya and you had to stay in Cebu para maka file ng case kahit nag waiter ka lang sa Cebu at minsan naubusan ng pera. Nakikikain ka pa kung sino2x.
“Tinulungan ka pa ni late Cong Raul del Mar para maka punta ng Cebu.
“I hope the Lord will guide you para matahimik na ang kalooban mo. I know hindi pera ang habol mo kung hindi hustisya dahil sobrang puno ng sama ng loob ang puso mo.
“Gusto mo ipa mukha sa kanya na totoong anak ka nya kaya gusto mo ng DNA. Sana walang power play para lumabas ang katotohanan. Naghihirap ka ngayon pero may Dios, mag tiwala ka lang,” Mabatid revealed.
Yap is skeptical of Josh since he isn’t from Cebu and doesn’t even speak Bisaya.
“As you can see, that person is not from Cebu. He doesn’t know how to speak Bisaya. Why is he filing in Cebu? Who is behind that?” Yap inquired.
Mabatid has since posted bail for two counts of cyber libel filed against her by actor Richard Yap.
Executive Judge Gerardo Paguio Jr. of the Regional Trial Court of Negros Oriental ordered the release of Mabatid after she posted a P10,000 bond on October 5, 2022 in a Dumaguete City court for her temporary liberty.
