Grabe na ito.
I think a lot of people know Atty. Argee Guevarra. I hired him as my lawyer for the case I am filing against the Belo Medical Group.
Well, today, the Belo Medical Group filed a LIBEL case against him because of his FACEBOOK statuses!!!
Wow, as in, wow!
I will leave it to the media and to the judges how they will treat the case. But let me add my two sentiments:
- In the complaint, item number six, it says there that “It must be emphasized that Ms. Norcio’s grievance and complaint has never been formally and directly communicated to Dr. Belo or to BMGI; no formal demand letter has ever been received, nor has BMGI been asked to remedy any alleged errors. Instead of pursuing legitimate and appropriate means to resolve the dispute, both Ms. Norcio and Atty. Guevarra have opted to defame and slander BMGI in public through inflammatory media statements.
This is such a blatant LIE. We have approached them several times, talked to their medical director, to their lawyers and to whoever they sent as representatives.
We have documents to prove that we have approached them formally and have requested medical and financial remedy. In fact, we started with merely asking for medical records. Later, I will all of you a timeline of how we have been fooled by these representatives.
- I think it is daring of Dr. Belo and the Belo Medical Group to file a case of libel based on Facebook. Ang kapal naman pala ng mukha nila.
All of that are nothing compared to my suffering and anguish.
Now I am more confident that I am doing the right thing when I decided to fight a giant like Belo. Someone has to stand up to them. Ako iyon.

I actually agree with your fight, Ms. Norcio, and I pray to God that you find the justice that you seek.
But if you really want to be taken seriously, and have a fighting chance at taking Belo down, you should not have gone with Argee Guevarra. As an Attorney, he has a pathetic (non-existent) litigation record, and instead relies on laughable tactics that have made him the joke of the legal profession.
If you really crave media attention and mileage (which is a good tool to help your cause), then Argee can be in charge of that. But in terms of legal expertise, there are millions of choices that are way better than him. Get a secondary lawyer to handle the case, and leave the theatrics to Argee.
Kailangan niyo po ng tunay na abogado para samahan ang aboGAGOng si Argee. Seryoso po, wala pa pong napapanalo yan ni isang kaso. Kulelat ng mga abogado yan.
Oh Grace, you're the one who executed one of the affidavits in the libel complaint, right?
Actually, I'll move for your inclusion as party respondent in the libel case against me -- simply because u caused it's publication.
Bad litigation record? Exactly what Imelda Marcos said when she also sued me for libel. He actually said "two-bit lawyer and columnist"
Well, who won that case?
Argee
Hi Ms Norcio,
Maybe you can double check with the records of Atty Argee Guevarra, based on the comment above.
But for me, Argee is asking for trouble always. I think this will make him happy that Belo filed a case against him.
Remember, Imelda Marcos filed a libel case against him years ago.
Ms. Norcio, make sure that your issue is at the forefront because your lawyer has his own agenda for himself.

Whatever people say, i think it is stupid of Belo to file a libel case against argee guevarra based on a facebook status.
1. there is no existing law that governs libel in social networks
2. the case is feeding argee's ego

I think Argee doesn't have a record as a litigator because that is not the career path he consciously chose.
He deliberately wanted to be a catalyst of change...in support of a revolution of the masses.
His being a lawyer is secondary to being a revolutionary, that is how he should be judged.
And that is why Josie chose him --- it requires a revolutionary tactic to defeat a giant like Belo Medical Group.
And revolution she (Vicky( will get.

Hey Rain and Dina,
Sige, will show u my litigation record na nga -- it's 30 wins, 8 losses and 12 still pending cases. I apologize, I know it's not perfect but at least, I'm honest. You wouldn't hear that from any other lawyer who would claim that they haven't lost the case. And that's my litigation record -- it doesn't include the corporate and special projects which I have all delivered for my clients.
Argee
Rain,
And about the Revolution part. I must say that my record as a litigator is better than my track record in orchestrating revolutions or rebellions. Edsa 2 was successful, but the establishment of a Revolutionary Transition Government in 2006 failed and ditto with the Manila Peninsula Rebellion. I apologize for those but I hope that as the elections approaches -- and its failure becomes inevitable -- we shall be able to accumulate enough popular momentum to finally get rid of GMA and put her behind bars. During that tumultuous period, Vicki Belo will just be a rider to GMA when we dispense the justice that our people, including josie norcio, so justly deserve.
Argee
(P.S. Am actually hurt about the comment about my ego. I admit that I do have an attitude but i dont have an ego. i know my place too in an attorney-client relationship and whatever I do, it's NEVER about me and always about the client, and it's always about other people)
Dear comment'ers, I know that Vicki Belo seeds this blog with negative comments about me and josie norcio. I also know that vicki belo hired 8 staffers to monitor this and my facebook account. i know also your black ops, operators who i'm currently running rings around. i know too that vicki is shopping for as many legal advisers who're getting creative to find ways to attack me thinking that such tact would work. To all Vicki's hacks, para hindi na kaya mapagod, there is only one way to stop me (even GMA knows this) -- you really have to kill me. there is no other way. if you do that however, there is a price to pay and it will be exacted in like measure. Actually, you hacks should all thank me because without me, you will all be jobless. I know and you know that Vicki Belo is literally your milking cow. So relax MUNA kayo diyan ... I GUARANTEE THAT ALL OF YOU WILL HAVE A JOB FOR THE NEXT 12 MONTHS BECAUSE I JUST LOVE SEEING YOUR MILKING COW'S BOTTOM LINE SHRINK AND SHRIVEL. And am doing that for a higher civic purpose -- imagine, ang daming mga lisensyadong doktor na dinudumog ng pasyente nowadays at hindi na pumupunta kay belo. Am methodically leveling the playing field in the cosmetic surgery and beauty industry and vicki belo is slowly becoming JUST ONE OF THE PLAYERS AND NO LONGER THE MONOPOLY.
So sit back, relax and enjoy the show. It's a tear-jerker -- for Vicki Belo!!!
Ms. Josie,
Do you have proof that you made a formal request to Dr. Belo herself for assistance? It seems your case went directly to the media, bombarding us with images of your, sorry, ass.
I have no doubt that you suffered, but we also doubt the capacity of your lawyer to come up with a strong legal defense for you.
"Oh Grace, you're the one who executed one of the affidavits in the libel complaint, right?
Actually, I'll move for your inclusion as party respondent in the libel case against me -- simply because u caused it's publication."
Argee, I have absolutely no idea what you're smoking, or how big the bus was that hit you, but I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with the libel case against you. "I'm one of those who executed an affidavit against you", you say? If you can prove that in any way, shape, or form, then please do. I don't even know the counsel representing Belo, et.al. How truly irresponsible and shoddy.
Sorry to burst your delusion, but I have far better things to do than to waste my time filing cases against bottom-feeders like you.
I categorically state that I have no connection with Dr. Belo, her legal counsel, or any of her representatives. They are non-entities to me.
You, on the other hand, provided me with one of the most enjoyable moments of my life when you delivered your Peninsula speech: "Handa kaming magpaka-bayani para sa aming prinsipyo. We are ready to die for the cause!!!" Moments later, a close up of your pathetic face sticking handcuffed hands out the window of a bus: "Kinakawawa kameeeeeehhh.... This is a travesty of justiiiiiicccceeee!!! Huhuhuhuhu!!!!!"
I've never laughed so hard in my entire life. My friends and I now get together every year and commemorate "Argee Guevarra laglag-bayag day". Thanks for that.
Lessons for Vicki and her Black Ops Boys:
Lesson No.1 - Don't waste time intriguing me against Ms. Jessica Soho and Arnold Clavio or any other journalist for that matter. They are legitimate and reputable journalists who make fare and accurate reportage of true and actual events. As for other print and other broadcast journalists whom you try to enlist to your petty cause, I have worked with them for many years and they give me the courtesy of telling me your plans at character assassination. 20 years ako sa print, i went for 2 years sa TV and 2 years din sa radyo. Puhunan ko lang ay prinsipyo at pagkakaibigan.
Lesson No. 2 -- Your sophomoric attempt to intrigue me against Iglesia ni Cristo by writing an anti-iglesia article and claiming that I wrote it is even beneath the scummest P.R.practioners. Worse, you use that to pitch with some acquaintances from the Alex Bocayao Brigade to wangle a "meeting" with me? What were you thinking? Have me assassinated in that meeting? Oh boy, you just made yourselves targets for regular revolutionary taxation from as many revolutionary organizations that have splintered into as many factions over the years. Mga boys, wag na kayo pumasok sa mga larong wala kayong kaalam-alam. Ika nga ni Lacson, huwag niyo na patulan yan, larong lupa iyan at sasabog lang kayo diyan. Hindi ko alam na ganyan pala kayo kabobo.
Lesson No. 3 -- About that libel case. Kay Freddie niyo na naman inilapit yan? Kayo naman, parang bagets tingin niyo sa akin at akala niyo hindi ko alam na lalakarin niyo yan sa Taytay. Sige, partida na, ipapafile ko yan sa korte. Bawat demanda niyo naman sa akin gives me a right to sue you for perjury at maingay na labanan sa korte ito. Nakakagat na ako sa isyung ito at imbis na kumonti kalaban niyo, dumadami pa.
Lesson No. 4-- Roll with the punches and have the humility to say you're sorry and to admit that you're simply not occupying the moral highground here. Don't even contemplate the use of violence. You are all sitting ducks and we know who you are, where you are and how much you just want to skim off your boss.
Lesson No. 5 -- Now that you've read the first 4 lessons, you are better educated to realize that the more you resist, the more you sink into the quicksand of your doing and wrongdoing. Ika nga, let sleeping dogs lie.
Argee Guevarra
magandang laban ito! doktor vs. abogado!!! kung pelikula ito, the poster will show belo with a scalpel and guevarra with a gavel. dapat kasama dito yung blow job scene ni Belo with Hayden Kho!
YUSH DAPALO: Putang ina mo! mamatay ka na hindot ka! Sama mo na mga anak mo at nanay at tatay mo! Saksakan ko kayo ng hidrogel sa batok nyo tangina ka!

I AM A FACEBOOK LOYALIST AND I DONT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT BELO OR ARGEE!!!!
This libel case is VERY interesting case that affects all of us. puede ba talagang mademanda kaming facebook users kung mangasar kami ng kapwa? What if we are just joking? I think that Belo's filing against Argee would help in subjecting this issue to a healthy debate...
I hope there are other lawyers out there who could put in their two cents worth. Argee shouldn't even be reacting like this to commenters kasi masyado siya involved dito. Yung mga Belo's staff naman, just discuss the issue of Facebook rights and privacy and please please PUBLISH NGA YUNG LEGAL ARGUMENTS NIYO DITO OR SOMEWHERE PARA MAINTINDIHAN NAMIN!!!
This Facebook issue should be properly discussed and I hope that there will be more and more intelligent comments. Obvious naman na kapag tinitira si Argee, galing kay Belo. Kapag naman tinitira si Belo, galing lang kay Argee or kay Atty. Trixie.
We should all treat these beyond personalities. Mas importante yata ang paggamit natin ng Facebook kaysi Belo, Argee etc ...
Grace Maduramente, madam, if i'm not mistaken, you're one of the legal counsel for team unity, right?
hmm...
I thought that lawyers have ethical laws to abide to, like not speaking ill or or utter defamatory remarks against a fellow? Isn't this a ground for disbarment? hmmm.....
anyways, it just shows that money can't buy everything... look at Dra. Belo, she has tons of money but she couldn't afford to hire competent and responsible advisers. for all her money's worth, all she got was a stupid advise to sue somebody because of their facebook shoutout...
tsk tsk tsk...must have been the botox that did her brain... or maybe hayden did screw her brains out! hek hek hek....
comrade argee,
tinawid mo ang linya diyan sa paninira mo sa iglesia ni cristo. hindi tayo talo, hindi natin sila kaaway. maayos ang samahan natin sa kanila, at ngayon nang-gugulo ka na naman. hindi ka na natuto noong nakaraan na taon, pinag usapan na natin yang kayabangan mo. ayos lang ang makipag-away na nasa tama, ngunit ang paghahahanap ng gulo nang dahil lang sa kayabangan ay hindi karapat dapat.
ikaw talaga ang nagsulat noon, halatang-halata ang estilo mo kung ikukumpara sa mga dati mong kolum. at madalas ka talaga magpasikat kahit noon pa na kahit iglesia ni cristo kaya mong paluhurin. ngayon na nag-react ang iglesia, puro ka naman deny.
josie wag ka matakot dyan sa mukhang doktor na yan na mahilig sa titi. peke talaga yan. natalo nga yan ni rosana sa libel case na sya mismo nagsampa, which proves that she's really a fake!! walang magagawa pera nyan sa karma, andami na namatay sa kamay nyan asawa pa ng general yung isa. im behind u josie. u know who i am. a victim also. may the lord be with you josie
