Inaresto ng mga tauhan ng National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) ang dating broadcaster na si Jay Sonza sa Quezon City ngayong Huwebes, Abril 30, 2026, kaugnay ng kasong cyber libel.

Ayon sa ulat, ang warrant of arrest laban kay Sonza ay inilabas ng Branch 18 ng Pasay City Regional Trial Court.

Ang kaso ay may kinalaman sa pagpapakalat umano niya ng maling impormasyon tungkol sa kalagayan ng kalusugan ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr..

Kilala si Sonza bilang isa sa mga kritiko ni Marcos Jr. at ng administrasyon nito.

Isang mahalagang detalye sa warrant: hindi maaaring magpiyansa si Sonza.

Malinaw na nakasaad dito: “The bail for the release of the accused in this case is fixed at NOT BAILABLE.”

Ibig sabihin, mananatili sa kustodiya si Sonza habang dinidinig ang kaso laban sa kanya.

Samantala, agad namang naglabas ng pahayag ang kanyang abogado na si Mark Tolentino.

Sa pamamagitan ng kanyang Facebook page, kinumpirma ni Tolentino ang pag-aresto sa kanyang kliyente at ipinaalam ito sa publiko.

Saad niya: “Inaaresto ngayon si Jay Sonza ng National Bureau of Investigation batay sa isang warrant of arrest.

“Papunta na kami sa NBI Pasay upang tiyakin na ganap na iginagalang ang kanyang mga karapatan, lalo na bilang isang senior citizen.

“Hindi namin palalagpasin ang anumang paglabag. Babantayan namin ang bawat hakbang. Aaksyon kami kung kinakailangan.

“Magbibigay kami ng update sa lalong madaling panahon.”
