Detained Russian vlogger asks DILG chief Remulla to drop charges
Russian vlogger Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, currently detained for harassing Filipinos in public for content, has asked Department of the Interior and Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla to drop the charges against him, citing mental health concerns. According to Jun Veneracion's report in '24 Oras' on Friday, Remulla said he received a letter from the Russian detainee. 'Sumulat sa akin na he is suffering from mental health issues daw,' Remulla said. 'Kung puwede i-drop na 'yung mga kaso, humihingi siya ng patawad.' (He wrote to me that he is allegedly suffering from mental health issues…asking if the charges filed against him could be dropped, and he also asked for forgiveness.) But Remulla maintained that Zdorovetskiy's actions should never go unpunished. He further stated that charges of unjust vexation against Zdorovetskiy for harassing three security guards will be filed in court next week. Earlier, the Taguig Prosecutor's Office had dismissed the theft charges but found 'sufficient evidence on record to establish a reasonable certainty of conviction for the crime of unjust vexation.' Remulla also said that Zdorovetskiy's legal team attempted to reach a settlement with the security guards. 'Mabuti na lang, 'yung mga security guards ay matibay ang loob. Hindi bumigay at itutuloy natin ang kaso,' he said. (Good thing our security guards stood firm. They did not fall for it and will continue with the case.) GMA Integrated News is trying to reach out to the legal team of the Russian vlogger. —Vince Angelo Ferreras/VBL, GMA Integrated News

Ricardo Cepeda, Marina Benipayo share what his 11-month detention taught them
Ricardo Cepeda and his partner Marina Benipayo shared the lessons they learned after the former was detained for 11 months due to an alleged syndicated estafa case filed against him in 2023. In Friday's "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," Ricardo and Marina said that the experience made their already-strong relationship even stronger and them, more patient. "I think more patient, more patient with other people. I saw so many people who were in jail for simple things eh, but there were also so many who were in there because of some very frivolous charges made by somebody else and it's so easy to get arrested pala," shared Ricardo. The couple also that they have become better people because of the experience, with Marina noting that they were already pretty solid even before. Per Marina, the things she did for him and their family were things she would do for the people she loves. "Mabigat lang 'di ba we've gone through in our separate lives, we've gone through so much already na akala mo ay okay na 'to papahinga na 'ko, 'yun pala may mangyayari pa 'di ba? Which is much heavier, so sabi ko nga you know it's challenge after challenge but it's easier to accept the challenge rather than keep questioning, keep avoiding," she said. Ricardo added, "Wala na 'yung mga 'Sana ganito, dapat ganito.'" Marina visited Ricardo frequently when he was detained for nine months in Tuguegarao City in Cagayan and for two months in Quezon City, telling Tito Boy, "I want to be there with him." The couple also shared their message to each other, with Ricardo apologizing to Marina for what happened. "I would say sorry I mean talagang we discussed it na that there was no one to blame among us. Still I just feel sorry that it happened, that we went through that, that the family went through that and salamat for being there as always and more than ever," he told her. Meanwhile, Marina said that she wishes she could have done more. "Sorry, I wish I could've done more, pero salamat kasi God really, I think, God intended for us to meet talaga after dun sa nangyari sa atin as individuals parang feeling ko ginantimpalaaan tayo with each other tsaka ang bait-bait mo kasi, I dont think I'd be able to find anybody but him," she said. During their guesting, Ricardo also opened up about the circumstances that led to his detention and the profound impact the experience had on him and his family. He said that he worked with a direct selling company as a brand ambassador of its products, attending meetings and presentations and giving testimonials onstage. Per the actor, operations like backdoor meetings and offering investments happened without his knowledge. Ricardo had also previously said he was not connected to the company involved in the estafa complaint, saying he was only an endorser of its products. The actor was released from detention and reunited with Marina last September. —CDC, GMA Integrated News

Ricardo Cepeda reflects on 11-month detention: ‘Honestly, it's hard'
Ricardo Cepeda opened up about his experience being detained for 11 months due to an alleged syndicated estafa case filed against him in 2023. In Friday's 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,' Ricardo, accompanied by his partner Marina Benipayo, detailed the circumstances that led to his detention and the profound impact the experience had on him and his family. 'I was working with this company, sa isang direct selling company, and 'yung role ko in the company is a brand ambassador, a product ambassador. Which is I simply talk about my experiences using products that they distribute,' Ricardo said. The actor said that he attended meetings and presentations, and he would give testimonials on stage. 'Nalaman namin na there were backdoor meetings, which he and the other speakers didn't know about,' Marina said. Per Ricardo, operations like backdoor meetings and offering investments happened without his knowledge. 'Habang we're doing this presentation, merong ibang meeting in a private area,' he said. Ricardo had previously said he was not connected to the company involved in the complaint, saying he was only an endorser of its products. He was detained for 11 months, nine months of which were spent in Tuguegarao City in Cagayan and another two months in Quezon City. 'Honestly, it's hard. It's hard,' he told Tito Boy. Ricardo, however, said that the experience did not break him. He added that he was grateful for the Philippine Military Academy training his dad put him through before as it felt like he was just doing beast barracks training all over again. 'We've always felt that there was, you know, it sounds cliche, pero everything happens for a reason. There's a plan,' he said. He was able to continue communicating with his family, which provided some comfort. 'My biggest worry, Boy, was how this will affect them outside,' he said. Marina said that she always made sure to visit Ricardo, even when he was detained in Tuguegarao. 'If I'm having a hard time, lalo na siya, 'di ba?' she said. 'I want to be there with him.' The actor was released from detention and reunited with Marina last September. —Carby Rose Basina/CDC, GMA Integrated News
