Former vice presidential aspirant Walden Bello was arrested on Monday, Aug. 8, by members of the Quezon City Police District (QCPD) for a cyber libel case.
Bello’s arrest was made around 4:00 p.m. at his house in Quezon City.
According to Police Lt. Col. Gilmore Wasin, Chief of Police of Project 4 Police Station, Bello’s arrest warrant stemmed from a cyber libel case filed by former Davao City Information Officer Jefry Tupas against him.
Tupas filed the case in April after Bello accused her of being a “drug dealer” in an online press conference in March.
Bello earlier labeled Tupas’ cyber libel complaint as “politically motivated.” – ngs
