Razon files cyberlibel complaint against Barzaga

INTERNATIONAL Container Terminal Services, Inc. Chairman Enrique K. Razon, Jr. has lodged a cyberlibel complaint against Cavite Rep. Francisco A. Barzaga, who accused the ports and casino tycoon of corruption and bribery in Congress.

In a complaint filed with the Makati City Prosecutor’s Office on Jan. 14, Mr. Razon alleged that Mr. Barzaga accused him of masterminding corruption in Congress.

Mr. Razon filed two counts of cyberlibel against Mr. Barzaga and is seeking civil damages of at least P100 million for moral damages and P10 million in exemplary damages, saying the accusations caused emotional distress and hurt his reputation.

Mr. Razon’s complaint stemmed from Mr. Barzaga’s social media accusing him of being the mastermind behind corruption and bribery.

He denied all the accusations and said that “all elements of cyber libel are present: the statements accused him of crimes such as corruption and bribery, they were published publicly through Facebook and amplified by news sites, they were maliciously made, and he was specifically named.”

The suspended lawmaker said he is prepared to face Mr. Razon in court, vowing to pursue his alleged bribery case through Congress and a formal case filing.

“I will be taking the Enrique Razon bribery case to court,” he said in a video statement published on his Facebook page. “I will be presenting the evidence of my claims in both Congress and in court.” — Ashley Erika O. Jose and Kenneth Christiane L. Basilio

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For

The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
