Piolo, Sam File libel charges vs. Lolit Solis, editor

Actors Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby filed libel charges against talk show host and talent manager Lolit Solis and a newspaper editor for publishing an allegedly malicious article against them.
DZMM reported that the hunk actors, accompanied by their lawyers, filed the charges at the Makati Prosecutor's Office before noon Friday.
The actors included Veronica Samio, entertainment editor of Pilipino Star Ngayon in the charge sheet.
The lawsuit stems from a column by Solis and published by Pilipino Star Ngayon on October 15, 2007. In the column, Solis claimed she saw Milby and Pascual in a romantic tryst at the poolside cafe of the Hotel Sofitel last October 12.
The actors said that the story of Solis is a complete fabrication and a mere figment of her imagination.
Pascual and Milby lawsuit are seeking P5 million each for moral damages.

Solis' most controversial brush with the law was right after the 1994 Manila Film Festival Scam, where she and actress Ruffa Gutierrez were embroiled in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to rig the results of the film festival in the awards for Best Actor and Best Actress.
Solis later admitted to switching the names of the real winners for Best Actor and Best Actress (Edu Manzano and Aiko Melendez) for her talent, Gabby Concepcion and Ruffa Gutierrez.
