Ana Leah chose honor over P1-M

By Paul Rosario

SEXY Starlet Ana Leah Javier yesterday revealed she chose honor over a P1 million settlement dangled before her in exchange of dropping sexual harassment charges filed against Zambales Rep. Antonio Diaz.

However, show promoter Remedios Coady, alias baby Bueno, has reportedly dropped the separate case against Diaz for allegedly subjecting her to verbal abuse.

“It’s not about money,” Javier answered to queries from reporters as to her reason for rejecting the offer fir settlement of the case.

Javier, a member of the Viva Hot Babes, refused to identify who made the attempt to broke the settlement saying the offer was a “seven digit figure.”

“I was told to name my prize but I am pursuing this case until it is resolve,” the pretty actress stressed.

It was her manager, Annie Ayroso, who spilled the beans on the issue when she admitted that Coady made the offer.

Coady reportedly invited Javier and Ayroso several times to a dinner so they could discussed the details of the proposed settlement.

Javier filed before the Department of Justice charges of sexual harassment and slander against Diaz for allegedly trying to force sex with him, then subjected her to verbal abuse at the solon’s beach resort in Iba Zambales last January 20.

A separate administrative case was filed by the actress and Coady before the Committee on Ethics which decided yesterday to defer the proceeding to give way to the resolution of the criminal complaints.

Javier arrived a few minutes after the House hearing was adjourned by committee chairman Rep. Roberto Cajes for non-appearance of all parties involved.

Cajes said the committee secretary has informed the House panel that Coady had aired her intentions to withdraw the complaint against Diaz.

After being informed of Coady’s decisions, Javier commented that she had anticipated the moved, apparently as a result of the show promoters alleged attempt to broke her the settlement of the case.

“I felt very bad. Ano naman ang intensiyon niya (Coady)? Siya naman nag-umpisa nito, pero hindi ako aatras,” Javier vowed.

Her counsel, lawyer Rey Dinsay, said they intend to seek a reconsideration of the Ethics panel’s decisions to defer the proceedings pending the decision on the DOJ cases.

Dinsay said Cajes has asked him to choose which of the two proceedings-the administrative and the criminal – his client will pursue.

The Ethics panel rules stated that no two proceedings on a similar issue will be entertained in order to protect a respondent lawmaker from harassment charges.
