Actors Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby are currently in Canada for a series of concerts but will push through with their lawsuit against talent manager and entertainment columnist Lolit Solis when they return next month.

The lawsuit stems from a column by Solis suggesting that the two popular matinee idols are gay, aside from alleging that she saw them in a romantic tryst at the poolside cafe of the Hotel Sofitel on October 12.

The hotel already issued a statement refuting Solis’s claim that the two actors were within the premises on the said date.

After the actors’ lawyers slapped Solis with a demand letter and a 10-day ultimatum for her to publish a retraction and a public apology, the actors’ management, Star Magic, also released a statement.

The statement accused Solis of fabricating the entire incident and making malicious claims that threatened the actors’ reputations and their careers. Below are excerpts of the statement:

“Now Star Magic asks the public to be the judge: who was it who made a mountain out of a molehill? Is this a demolition job done on the stars of Star

Magic, whose primary interests are entertain and make an honest living? Who stands to benefit from this wild and incredulous lie?

“Should Star Magic stay quiet while malevolent souls prey on young artists who they promised to protect. Should malicious and ill-willed rumor mongers be allowed to go scott free after injuring the stars’ public and private reputations?

“Is it TOO MUCH to expect the truth, some decency and responsibility from our entertainment writers? Star Magic talents are enlightened and cautioned with the fact that mudslinging is a part of the business. Does this give the entertainment writers the license to fabricate stores and propagate a blatant lie? Gossip, as proven by research, is more potent than the truth.

“Star Magic, as promised chooses to take the higher ground, the Moral ground.

“Star Magic joins Sam Milby and Piolo Pascual in making a stand against FALSE and INJURIOUS JOURNALISM.

“Star Magic agrees with Sam’s belief as he plainly and humbly said, ‘Righteousness Will Prevail’.”

Witnesses place Milby at a posh hair salon in the Ortigas area during the time that Solis claims he saw him with Pascual.

The production staff of Timex, the watch brand that Pascual endorses, have also issued a statement attesting that the actor was shooting a commercial for them, along with fellow Timex endorser and actress Angel Locsin, during the time that Solis claims to have seen him with Milby.

Locsin, who is Pascual’s co-star in the coming ABS-CBN series “Lobo”, also confirmed to the media that she was shooting the Timex commercial with Pascual at the time.

In GMA-7’s “Startalk” on Saturday, Solis said that she’s sorry that her column was interpreted “maliciously” but said that she could not retract her story and insists that she did see the actors at the cafe.
