MANILA, Philippines?The editor in chief of and entertainment website on Tuesday insisted that actor Richard Gutierrez was not portrayed as a ?troublemaker? in an article which had reported his alleged involvement in a gun-toting incident.

Philippine Entertainment Portal editor in chief Jo-Ann Maglipon, who was charged by the actor with libel, said in her counter affidavit that the March 29 story ?did not impute any discreditable act or condition to any person, much less to the complainant.?

Gutierrez had sued Maglipon, PEP managing editor Karen Pagsolingan and staff writer Ferdinand ?Bong? Godinez for P25 million for the article that claimed he was involved in a fight with actor Michael Flores.

Based on the PEP article, Gutierrez and Flores exchanged heated words at the parking lot of Oceana Restaurant in Pasay City, where director Mark Reyes was celebrating his birthday.

In his complaint, the lead star of ?Zorro? denied being involved in a so-called ?heated argument,? ?squabble,? ?gun-toting incident,? or ?fracas? with Flores or anyone for that matter.

Maglipon, however, said the terms ?cannot be taken out of context? and must not be interpreted as accusing a person of being a troublemaker.
