MANILA, Philippines — Partido Lakas ng Masa vice presidential bet Walden Bello on Wednesday has filed his counter affidavit against a cyber libel case filed by former Davao city information officer Jefry Tupas.

To recall, Tupas filed the case against Bello after the VP candidate called him a “drug dealer." Tupas, who was working under VP candidate and Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio, was eventually relieved from his employment at the local city government last year after attending a party where P1.5-million worth of illegal drugs were seized in a raid. 

Bello went to the Office of the City Prosecutor in Davao with his lead counsel and Laban ng Masa and PLM Senate bet Luke Espiritu.
