OPERATIVES of the City Investigation Detection Management Branch (CIDMB) of the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) arrested a 34-year-old woman for her posts on social media on Friday night, Feb. 21, 2020.
They were carrying a warrant issued by Regional Trial Court Branch 11 Judge Ramon Daomilas for allegedly violating Republic Act 10175, or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.
Lt. Col. Frankie Jingle Lugo, CIDMB head, identified the suspect as Angeline Cebuco, a resident of Villa Fatima Village in Barangay Guadalupe.
After her arrest, Cebuco was placed in the detention cell at the CCPO.
When SunStar Superbalita went to interview her on Saturday, Feb. 22, she had been released after she posted bail of P10,000 at the Cebu City Prosecutor’s Office.
The complainant who asked not to be named said Cebuco maligned her on social media and on Facebook, prompting her to file a case against the latter.
However, the complainant refused to divulge more details since the matter is already in court and she had been ordered not to talk about the case.
Cebuco was a contestant in the Mrs. Cebu–Philippines Pageant in 2019.
According to her Facebook profile, she is a businesswoman and a private nurse. (BBT, PJB)
