The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) on Monday, Aug. 8, arrested former vice presidential candidate and former Akbayan party-list Rep. Walden Bello for two cases: libel and cyber libel.

In a report by DZRH’s Val Gonzales, QCPD has arrested Bello in his house in Quezon City, following a court order from Davao City RTC Branch 10.

The case was filed by former Davao City Information Office Jerry Tupas.

Tupas is suing Bello for his Facebook post dated March 1, which allegedly claimed that Tupas is among the arrested officials at a beach party in Davao de Oro on Nov. 6 last year, where 5 million worth of illegal drugs were confiscated.

The said case is bailable for Php 48,000. Bello can pay the fine at any time.

Bello will be transferred to Camp Caringal from QC Police Station 8.
