A trial court in Ormoc City has convicted an overseas Filipino worker for maligning former mayor and now Rep. Richard Gomez. | joeygabietaINQ /PDI
The case stemmed from Tahanlangit’s posts on his Facebook account, claiming that Gomez, as mayor of the city, did not exert effort for him to return to Ormoc upon arrival at the Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport in Tacloban on May 25, 2020 by not providing him a vehicle.
In his posts, Tahanlangit remarked about the “sluggish response” of Gomez, claiming that the city mayor thought the situation was just part of a television show. But he admitted on his narration during the hearing of the case that the city government of Ormoc fetched him and his companions on May 26 upon the assistance of the regional office of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration.
