Businessman Rey Pamaran is seeking P3 million
in damages.
Businessman Rey Pamaran on Wednesday filed formal
charges against Melissa Mendez after an incident last week that resulted in the
actress being offloaded from a Cebu Pacific flight from Manila to Pagadian.
Pamaran, accompanied by his legal counsel, Atty.
Raymond Fortun, filed charges for slander by deed at the Pasay City
Prosecutor’s Office. He is seeking P3 million in damages.
This comes even after the actress issued a public apology via
her Instagram account.
The businessman said he forgave Mendez "the
moment [she] was escorted out from the airplane," but filed charges
against her anyway because she supposedly did not tell the whole truth in her
public apology.
Pamaran earlier posted on Facebook that he was hoping
for "a more heartfelt" response and that she would make the apology
on television.
Even before Mendez issued an apology, Pamaran posted
an open letter to the actress in his social media accounts, saying he won’t be
pressing charges, "on the condition that you set the records straight
using the truth and nothing else but the whole truth through a genuine public
apology."
He also noted in the letter that his legal team has
started drafting a complaint.
