Richard Gutierrez and PEP settles legal dispute

A total ceasefire for Gutierrez clan and entertainment site PEP as the two camps finally settled their differences over the libel suit filed by actor Richard Gutierrez on the gun-toting issue.

PEP Editors Jo-Ann Maglipon and Karen Pagsolingan and reporter Ferdinand Godinez have personally apologized to Richard and his family.

PEP issued this public apology:
"The Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) hereby reiterates that Mr. Richard Gutierrez was never involved in any "heated altercation" or "tutukan ng baril" with Michael Flores or with any other individual on 29 March 2009, during the party of Zorro director Mark Reyes, contrary to an article briefly uploaded on its website on the same day.

"PEP editor-in-chief Jo-Ann Maglipon, managing editor Karen Pagsolingan and staffwriter Bong Godinez acknowledge their error; repeat their assurance that they have no malicious agenda against Mr. Gutierrez; and apologize for the publication of the article and their failure to get his side of the story and for the hurt it has caused him and his family."
The settlement was done in the presence of Justice Secretary Agnes Devanadera.

It seems the settlement will include more publicity news for Richard Gutierrez .
