Former Senator Kiko Pangilinan has taken legal action against a YouTube channel named ‘Bungangera TV,’ filing a cyberlibel complaint due to alleged false information being spread about him and his wife, Sharon Cuneta.
In a statement released on Monday, March 11, Pangilinan denounced the YouTube channel for purportedly disseminating fabricated stories in order to gain more subscribers and generate income.
“The titles, thumbnails, and all other contents of the videos pertaining to me and my family are all false, have no factual basis, and are intended to destroy or damage my reputation as a public servant, and a husband to one of the most beloved celebrities in the Philippines, Sharon Cuneta-Pangilinan,” Pangilinan asserted.
