Cristy Fermin May Patutsada Kay Dawn Chang Matapos Ang Issue Nilang Dalawa

Cristy Fermin and her attorney didn’t wait until February 16, the deadline given by Dawn Chang’s legal team for the public apology that they’ve been demanding from her.

Instead, Cristy Fermin and her attorney Atty. Ferdinand Topacio responded to the legal counsel of Dawn Chang and demanded that they should be the one to issue a public apology for the words they have used against the columnist.

On February 12, Dawn Chang’s legal counsel released a demand letter in a publication wherein Dawn Chang’s team is asking for a public apology from Cristy Fermin and if they failed to release one, they send her to jail.

It all started with the statements of Nanay Cristy Fermin in her radio program “Cristy Ferminute” aired in Radyo5 92.3 News FM, OnePH and in Cignal Play app. In the said episode of Cristy Ferminute, the columnist reacted to Dawn Chang’s statements against the Kapamilya star Toni Gonzaga.

Cristy Fermin defended Toni Gonzaga against Dawn Chang and said that she’s willing to release all the things that Dawn Chang did to get where she is right now.

Here are the exact words from Cristy Fermin, “Alam mo raw kung sino na pa-righteous at sikat nitong Dawn Chang? Di ba, yun yung dancer? Iyan ‘yung dancer.

“Dancer iyan na nasa ano dati, sa lunchtime show nila. Itong si Dawn Chang, kaya nagkakaroon ng mga trabaho iyan, alam na alam sa ABS…

“Ako, Dawn Chang, gusto mong ibulgar ko kung ba’t ka nagkakaroon ng trabaho?

“E, pa-bash bash ka pa, ikaw ang dapat i-bash, dahil wala kang mararating kung di ka nakikipaglandian sa mga boss, naku, ha.

“Dawn Chang, tumigil ka nga. Dawn Chang me. Charot!”

Dawn Chang’s attorney saud that they have the right to react and ask for a public apology because what Cristy Fermin said is an act of slander.

However, Cristy Fermin’s legal team didn’t bat an eye and instead, asked for a public apology as well for they have called Cristy Fermin a coward and liar for her statements. They also emphasized that it was wrong for Dawn Chang’s team to say that they will be sendig Cristy Fermin to Jail.

Here’s a statement from the letter of Cristy Fermin’s legal counsel:

“Our client, Ms. CRISTINELLI SALAZAR FERMIN, a.k.a. Cristy Fermin, has referred to us your undated “statement” released to media, which we take as an open letter of demand, for her to make a public apology in relation to utterances made regarding your client, a certain Dawn Chang, who appears to be a dancer and show business personality.

“Ms. Fermin will respond to your demand in due time, and also publicly. We write this letter, however, to make a demand of our own, regarding some statements made by you as lawyer of Ms. Chang.

“In your signed public statement – shorn of irrelevant discourses — you called our client a “coward” and a liar, saying that her statements are “nakakahiya”, using the word “gutter” to describe Ms. Fermin, describing her expressions as “malaking kabastusan.” Worse, you strongly implied that you have control of the Philippine justice system when you bragged that “we assure you, we will send you to jail.””

The legal counsel also added that it’s ironic that they are complaining about a libel against Dawn Chang when in reality, they have committed the same crime against Cristy Fermin.

“Therefore, let us be the one to give you, Atty. Rafael Vicente R. Calinisan, a deadline of until midnight of 16 February 2022, within which to PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE to our client who, it cannot be denied, is already considered an icon in the field of entertainment media, and who has been a writer and radio and television personality for several decades.

“Unlike you, however, we do not demand the publication of your apology in a full-page ad in any newspaper. We simply demand a letter of apology from you, which you and she may share with media.”

As of this writing, Dawn Chang and her team are yet to release a statement against the letter sent by the legal team of Cristy Fermin.
