Awra Briguela has filed a counter-affidavit
AWRA BRIGUELA – The controversial Kapamilya star has lodged a counter-affidavit in response to the accusations leveled against him following his involvement in a confrontation in Poblacion, Makati on June 29.
The 19-year-old actor personally submitted his response affidavit to the Makati City Prosecutor’s Office on August 30. He was accompanied by his legal counsel, Atty. Mikaelo Jaime Reyes, as reported by DZABB.
Awra contended that the complainant, Mark Christian Ravana, had violated several laws, including section 1 of the Anti-Wiretapping law and the Safe Spaces Act. Additionally, Ravana was accused of slight physical injury. The Safe Spaces Act is designed to protect individuals from gender-based harassment.
Meanwhile, Awra Briguela has been facing multiple charges due to an altercation at The Bolthole Bar in Poblacion, Makati. The actor-comedian was apprehended during the incident but was released from Makati Custodial Jail on July 1, 2023, after Awra posted bail amounting to six thousand pesos.
Among the charges he’s facing were slight physical injuries, simple disobedience to a person in authority, violations of Article 283 (light threats) under the Revised Penal Code, violation of Article 286 (Grave Coercion) under the RPC, and Violation of Section 11(c) in relation to Section 11(a) of the Safe Space Act (or the Anti-Sexual Harassment Law).
In the midst of the issue, Awra’s manager, Vice Ganda, emphasized that he has no plans to sever ties with Awra as his talent. “‘Yung mga issues na hindi ko na muna ita-tackle, bahala na ‘yan sa susunod. Ang gusto kong klaruhin ay hindi kami naghihiwalay ni Awra. Hindi ko siya iiwanan lalung-lalo na sa posisyon ng buhay niya, she needs guidance and I will be there for her,” Vice stated.
