MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Manny Pacquiao has filed a motion asking the Makati City Prosecutor's Office to reconsider its junking of a cyber libel complaint against Apollo Quiboloy, a pastor and media network owner, over allegations of misuse of public funds.

 

"While we respect the decision of the Makati City Prosecutor's Office, we respectfully disagree. A distinction must be made between mere criticism and the proliferation of fake news," lawyer Nikki De Vega said on Pacquiao's behalf.

 

The suit was one of the reasons that Pacquiao, a candidate for president, gave in turning down an invitation to appear on presidential debates organized by SMNI, the network owned by Quiboloy.
