REP. DIAZ on 7-digit offer to Ana Leah: ‘Ano ka hilo?’

By: ZALDY DE LAYOLA

“ANO ka hilo?”
This was the reaction of Zambales Rep. Antonio Diaz on claims of Viva Hot Babes Ana Leah Javier that she was offered a “7-digit” offer or from P1 million to P9.99 million if she would drop her cases of sexual harassment and oral defamation against the congressman.

In an interview, Diaz, 77, said Javier’s story was but a big illusion.

He maintained innocence on the accusations hurled against him by Javier and co-complainant Ma. Remedios Baby Bueno Coady.

“Bakit ko siya bibigyan ng milyon? Ano siya hilo. Napakaswerte naman niya. Wala akong kasalanan kaya hindi ako papasok sa anumang kompromiso,” Diaz reasoned.

But the solon, in what appeared to be slip of the tongue, accidentally mentioned to reporters that his cousin, Zambales Gov. Vic Magsaysay was talking with the complainant on his behalf.

In a follow-up question, he quickly explained that Magsaysay was doing it on his own.

He said did not persuade the governor to make any deal or compromise for him regarding the case.

“Nakikipag-usapan si Gov. Magsaysay sa kanila para sa akin. Pero hindi ko alam iyon at kung mayroon compromise,” Diaz added.

Javier, however, said she would ask for a reconsideration on the House Committee on ethics’ decision to suspend the probe pending a litigation into the same cases likely to ensue in proper court.

Javier insisted that someone from the Diaz camp really informed her of the offer in exchange for their silence.

But she did not specify who this someone was.

“We were offered talaga, seven digits iyon pero hindi kami nakapagdesisyon,” Javier reiterated.

Before the alleged 7-digit offer, Diaz camp reportedly induced Coady of a P150,000 offer but the latter declined it.

Javier, a self-confessed sexual molestation victim of Diaz when she was still 16 years old, filed the case with the Department of Justice and Commission of Human Rights for violation (a), RA 7877 or the Anti-Sexual Harassment Act of 1995 and Grave Oral Defamation penalized under the Revised Penal Code.
