Jay Sonza failed to appear before the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) Cybercrime Division to explain his side in the cyber libel case filed against him by Julia Barretto.
As per a tweet by ABS-CBN News on Monday, November 9, the veteran broadcaster was scheduled to go to the NBI last Friday.
They wrote, "Broadcaster Jay Sonza fails to appear before the NBI Cybercrime Division. He was sent a subpoena, and was scheduled to explain his side on Julia Baretto’s cyber libel complaint, last Friday 3 PM."
In another tweet, they furthered, "Sonza has not sent a representative nor any document to explain his absence or his position on the complaint."
"The NBI will still proceed in its investigation. Sonza can still present his side once the NBI recommends the filing of a case in the prosecutor’s office."
Last September 25, Julia went to the NBI Cybercrime Division to file a criminal case against Sonza after he started a rumor that she was pregnant with Gerald Anderson's baby — a rumor that she, and her camp, has since shut down.

In an interview with ABS-CBN, Julia said, "Ang dami ko na ring pinagdaanan. Ang dami ko na ring pinalampas lalo na sa social media - binastos na ang reputation ko, ang pangalan ko. I think I just want to show people na hindi ko na pinapalampas 'yung mga bagay na ganito."
