00:00 Breaking news!
00:02 Jay Sonza, a former broadcaster, has been released.
00:06 He will be released after serving 11 counts of estafa and libel.
00:11 Sonza will be released tonight at 9pm from the Quezon City Jail.
00:16 Before that, the Quezon City Regional Trial Court has dismissed the cases of illegal recruitment
00:21 and syndicated large-scale illegal recruitment.
00:25 But the cases were only provisionally dismissed and can still be revived within two years
00:31 if there is a new reason or evidence.
00:34 Sonza was arrested at IA Terminal 3 on July 18 while on his way to Hong Kong.
00:40 We are still trying to get Sonza's new statement.
00:43 But first, his lawyer said that Sonza did not know that there was a libel case against him.
00:51 His client mentioned that the case was dismissed but Sonza was not included in the illegal recruitment.
