RHIAN'S FORMER DRIVER NOT OPEN TO SETTLEMENT
Si Arsenio "Boy" Evangelista, presidente ng Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC), ang tumutulong kay Baro mula nang lumantad ito at magpasyang dalhin sa piskal ang kanyang reklamo.
Si Evangelista ang naglapit kay Baro sa National Bureau of Investigation.
Sa panayam ng Cabinet Files kay Evangelista ngayong Huwebes, Mayo 14, tiniyak niya na itutuloy ni Baro ang demanda at hinding-hindi raw ito papayag na magpa-areglo.
"As for Totoy, he is firm and wants to get justice, accountability, at most of all, ayaw niya ng areglo," ani Evangelista.
Ipinaliwanag din niya kung bakit halos apat na buwan ang lumipas bago nakapaghain ng reklamo si Baro sa piskal.
"It took us four months to collect corroborating statements, CCTV materials and backtracking of events.
"It took time for NBI to file the case because they wanted to have an airtight case for the case build-up that will lead to a reasonable certainty of trial to a higher court and lead to conviction,” ang paliwanag ni Evangelista.
Ipinaabot din ni Evangelista ang pasasalamat nila ni Baro sa lahat ng mga sumusuporta sa kanilang laban.
"Alias Totoy and VACC would like to thank and give recognition to the men and women of NBI, for taking recognition of the case of Alias Totoy with perseverance, integrity and courage.”

MICHELLE DEE LAWYER SAYS THE ALLEGATIONS ARE "BASELESS"
Sa kabilang banda, naglabas ng pahayag ang legal counsel ni Michelle na si Atty. Maggie Garduque tungkol sa mga reklamo na inihain ni Baro.
Sa official statement na ipinadala niya sa Fast Talk with Boy Abunda, idiniin ng abogada na "baseless" ang mga alegasyon ng complainant.
"We find the timing of the filing of the cases suspicious considering that there are other more pressing cases/ controversy the bureau is facing now.
"We will file our counter affidavit showing that these cases are not only baseless but frivolous but with the sole intention to make it a vengeful suit against the theft case Michelle filed against [Baro]."

Ibinalita rin ni Garduque na umakyat na sa korte ang reklamong qualified theft ni Michelle laban kay Baro.
"Also, it is unfortunate that this is filed despite the favorable resolution of the Office of the City Prosecutor of Makati to the theft case of Michelle Dee against [Baro].
"Last Friday, we received the resolution of OCP of Makati indicting [Baro] for the crime of theft and yesterday, the OCP of Makati formally filed the information in court charging Baro for the crime of theft.
"The case is now pending before the Metropolitan Trial Court Branch 127 of Makati."
