Anjo Yllana questions P3.5 million in damages sought by TVJ

Posted by ReyFort Media

Former “Eat Bulaga” host Anjo Yllana has finally broken his silence on the case filed against him by TVJ Productions.

The case stemmed from Anjo’s TikTok livestream last year, in which he alleged that a “syndicate” was operating within the show.

Anjo declared, “Hindi ako takot sa TVJ. May sindikato sa Eat Bulaga.”

Last June 29, the court ordered Anjo to pay P3.5 million in damages to TVJ Productions.

In its decision, the court ruled that Anjo’s statements had damaged the reputation of the noontime show and its hosts.

In an interview with “Ogie Diaz Inspires,” Anjo said the P3.5 million in damages being sought by TVJ was too much.

“Masyadong mabigat kaya nga mag-a-appeal ako,” Anjo said.

“Pakiramdam ko kasi, may pinatay ba ako? Meron ba akong ninakaw? Meron ba akong nilapastangan?” Anjo added.

According to the former “Eat Bulaga” host, he was only expressing what he felt, and things eventually escalated.

“Hindi nga ako nagmura eh. Naglabas lang ako ng emotions. So baka too harsh, masyadong mabigat yung parusa. Mag-uusap ulit kami ng abogado ko, hopefully makapag-appeal sa upper courts,” he added.

“Although sabi nila damages sa kumpanya. So ibig sabihin, kapag sinabi mong damage sa kumpanya, nalugi sila. Hindi naman nalulugi ang TVJ, so may ganoon akong gustong iklaro sa upper courts,” he concluded.(C. Alcantara/mb.com.ph)
