A Makati City Regional Trial Court has issued an arrest warrant for lawyer Levito Baligod in connection with a cyberlibel complaint filed by Department of Agriculture (DA) Secretary Francisco Tiu Laurel Jr., according to reports. The case is handled by the court’s Branch 148. The complaint stems from allegations that Baligod made remarks linking Laurel to the supposed delivery of kickback money allegedly placed in suitcases. The Philstar report says the warrant follows the cyberlibel filing by the DA chief. GMA News also reports that the court ordered Baligod’s arrest over the cyber libel case brought by Laurel. The reports describe the action taken by the court and identify the parties involved, but do not provide additional procedural details such as the specific statements at issue, the exact forum or platform where the remarks were made, or whether Baligod has indicated plans to challenge the warrant. The matter is ongoing as the warrant is issued and the case proceeds in court.
