A Retraction Finally

Finally, the bad mouthing is over. Lolit Solis has regained her senses and has backed out on her words regarding the so-called Piolo-Sam public display of affection. The two gracefully retreated their case against the columnist in return.

Last May 14, both actors dropped charges even that of editor Veronica Samio at Branch 55 of the Manila Regional Trial Court. Lolit had finally published a retraction in her column in the tabloid Pilipino Star Ngayon as well as apologized to the actors in the presence of their manager Johnny Manahan and lawyer Joji Alonzo.

It was remembered that the ABS-CBN Star Magic artists Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby wanted was for Ms. Solis to retract her story as well as apologize. It can be recalled that Piolo and Sam wanted to settle this libel case as early as the season of Christmas.

Ms. Solis has shown no real contrition and has not retracted her statement. What she has said is that she wants to “make areglo” by apologizing. With no retraction forthcoming, there can be no settling of this case. Now that she has finally done so, Piolo and Sam withdrew the case against her.

ABS-CBN Star Magic is very happy that the truth has finally come out. Piolo and Sam have fought for what is right.The two have proven themselves to be true gentlemen and Christians by making their stand that they will withdraw the case once they get a retraction and an apology.Let it be stressed that Piolo and Sam won this battle even if they decided to withdraw the case against Ms. Solis.
