Unique Salonga plans to take legal action against netizens who continue to defame him

On Saturday, September 25, via Facebook, Unique Salonga stated that he might take legal action against netizens who continue to defame him online.

The singer-songwriter recently made noise for allegedly committing “improper activities”.

Without being specific on the matter, Salonga strongly denied the allegations about him.

He posted, “OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Recently, statements have been circulated online imputing that I have committed improper activities. These imputations are misleading and false, and I will not dignify these scurrilous statements by further discussing or elaborating on them.”

“However, it appears that some people are using these statements and propagating them on social media as a blatant platform to defame me and my reputation. I have consulted with O/C Records, my management company, and the consensus is that legal action will be taken should detractors continue to damage my brand & reputation.

He also warned that they had collected enough evidence. He added that netizens who continue to damage their reputation might be accused of libel and violating the Cybercrime Law.

“While some of the defamatory statements have since been deleted, every post has been properly documented & collected and will be submitted to the authorities for investigation. With fairness, integrity & due process, the allegations will be addressed in the proper legal forum, to include possible actions for libel and violation of the Cybercrime Law. While O/C Records and I respect freedom of expression, the same should be directed towards meaningful discussion and constructive criticism, not used to hurl imputations that harm, cancel & damage people,” Salonga said.

On Sunday, August 22, his former girlfriend, Chy Lumagbas, accused him of being an “utangero” for his unpaid Globe bill. Aside from the unpaid Globe bill, a rumor on the singer’s involvement with a 15-year-old fan also surfaced.
