INFORMATION
The undersigned accuses ENGR. JESUS R. FACTORA, NINEZ CACHOOLIVARES, CHITO L. LOZADA,
CHRIS MARTINEZ, DON CERVANTES AND
DANNY JUNCO of the crime of LIBEL, committed as follows:
That on or about the 2nd day of March, 2011, in Quezon City, Philippines, the
above-named accused, conspiring, confederating with and mutually helping one another,
did then and there willfully, unlawfully and feloniously impute a crime, vice or defect, real
or imaginary or any act upon AMA COMPUTER COLLEGE, Quezon City, an
respected institution in the field of education, and with malicious intent of impeaching its
integrity and reputation, cause the publication in a newspaper of general circulation
called the The Daily Tribune, quoted verbatim hereunder:
HLURB ORDERS ARREST OF AMA
CHIEF OVER PROPERTY DISPUTE
The Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) ordered in
Oct. 11 last year to arrest Amable Aguiluz IX, president of the AMA
Computer College Inc. (AMA), for flagrant disobedience, refusal and
defiance to comply with a writ of execution issued to AMA by the HLURB
way back in October 2004 to restore three condominium units and the
amenities of a condominium building and return these to Engineer Jesus
Factora, who claims ownership of the properties.

Xxx .
Factora, who personally went to The Tribune said that the
authorities, such as the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the National
Bureau of Investigation (NBI) have failed to carry out the writ of execution
of the HLURB issued on October 6, 2004 addressed to AMA to restore
the said units and turn over the same to Factora.
For more than six years AMA stubbornly refused to comply with
the said writ, Factora said.

On March 15, 2005, the HLURB issued a contempt order against

AMA for its refusal to comply with the writ of execution imposing an
administrative fine for every day of delay to comply with the writ.
On October 11, 2010 the Board of Commissioners of HLURB
issued an order for the detention or confinement of Aguiluz pursuant to
Executive Order 648.

and other words of similar import, when in truth and in fact, as the accused very well
knew, the same reflects half truth, as some events were omitted, and were publicly made
for no other purpose than to expose said institution to public ridicule, thereby casting
dishonor, discredit and contempt upon the juridical person, to its damage and prejudice.
CONTRARY TO LAW.
Quezon City, Philippines, July 8, 2011.
