The Kris-
Nicko
story
The Nicko Falcis- Kris Aquino
story continues to evolve and like
a teleserye, netizens are awaiting
the next development of the
issue.
Nicko said the decision in
favor of his former business
partner was “biased” in a series
of new tirades on Intagram last
Wednesday, March 13.
Nicko, who faces charges of
44 counts of theft in six different
courts in Manila, including
Taguig, insisted he was wrongly
charged by the Office of the City
Prosecutor of Taguig City with
Estafa through Misappropriation
and Conversion—a claim that is
strongly supported by his counsel,
Ponferrada-Ty Law Offices.
“In fact, Estafa was not
even charged against our client
in the preliminary investigation
proceedings before the [Taguig
OCP]. In any event, our client
did not commit Estafa and/or
violation of Section 9(j) of Republic
Act No. 8484, as he even issued
a personal check in the amount
of P437,595.67 to resolve any
alleged issue, even though the
alleged issues were clearly without
basis,” stated his lawyer.
The said court has made
contradicting statements in its
official decision which is enough
to question its credibility to issue
a fair judgment.

“Gusto kong sumigaw na

actor.
When it comes to his career,
he cannot ask for anything more.
He continues to earn raves for
his portrayal as Maricel Soriano’s
son with special needs in “The
General’s Daughter.”
He also has an action series
on iWant, “Bagman,” where he
plays the title role. He has gotten
nothing but praise from director
Shugo Praico for his work in the
series, which is scheduled for
release on March 2.
Arjo said he does not follow
a specific career path and
would much rather be known as
someone who can do any role
with flying colors.
Produced by Dreamscape
and Rein Entertainment of Lino
Cayetano and written and directed
by Shugo Praico, “Bagman” also
stars Alan Paule, Yayo Aguila,
