00:00 Broadcast journalist Atom Araulyo files a P2M damage suit against Sunshine Media Network
00:06 International hosts Lorraine Badoy and Jeffrey Celes.
00:09 "Because of their misrepresentation and bullying against me and my family through their programming
00:20 on social media and SNL Live."
00:24 Badoy has a history of alleging that personalities are part of the local communist movement.
00:29 The complaint cites several episodes of laban kasama ng bayan where Badoy and Celes repeatedly
00:34 linked Araulyo and his mother, Carol, to the Communist Party of the Philippines, the New
00:38 People's Army and the National Democratic Front.
00:41 Araulyo emphasizes he filed a civil instead of a criminal complaint because he doesn't
00:45 believe in criminalizing libel.
00:46 "I'm against criminalization of libel because I think it's used to hide the truth."
