PGMN host Hirro says ‘nothing to apologize for’ in cyberlibel case

MANILA — Peanut Gallery Media Network (PGMN) anchor CJ Hirro said Friday she had “nothing to apologize for” over the cyberlibel case filed against her by former Quezon City Fourth District Rep. Marvin Rillo, who said he was willing to drop the charges if she apologized. 

Rillo said that while he had “long forgiven” Hirro, his primary concern was to seek justice. He said was open to dropping the charges if Hirro issued a public apology.

But Hirro told reporters: “There’s nothing to apologize for.”

Hirro’s supposed arraignment on Friday was postponed after her lawyers filed a motion to quash the case. 

Her legal team however declined to comment on the motion, saying they could not discuss the merits of the case it was pending before the court.

Rillo described the motion as a delaying tactic.
