Actress Sarah Lahbati posts P10k bail for libel case

Following her return to the Philippines, actress and TV personality Sarah Lahbati on Friday posted P10,000 bail before the Makati City Regional Trial Court.

 

The bail was in connection with the libel suit lodged against her by GMA Films President Atty. Annette Gozon-Abrogar, over posts Lahbati allegedly made on her Twitter account.

 

Among those who accompanied Lahbati in posting bail at the Makati City Regional Trial Court Branch 59 were her mother and lawyer, radio dzBB's Manny Vargas reported.

 

The report said the court set Aug. 22 as the date for Lahbati's arraignment, where she has to personally appear.

 

Gozon-Abrogar lodged a libel suit against Lahbati because of posts on Lahbati's Twitter account accusing the GMA Films president of alleged irregularities in management.

 

Earlier this year, Lahbati left the country supposedly to go on vacation in Switzerland. —KG, GMA News
