Atty. Raymond Fortun, the legal spokesperson of the controversial businessman Cedric Lee commented after the latest video released by the NBI showing the kissing scene of Cedric Lee and Deniece Cornejo inside the elevator.

In his Facebook page, Atty. Raymond Fortun posted reply messages to those inquisitive netizens about the CCTV footage inside the elevator and he said: “Maybe it’s just me, but it looks like the girl didn’t even want to be kissed. Others will think otherwise. What matters is, again, what I PERSONALLY KNOW,” replied Atty. Fortun.

Atty. Raymond Fortun clarifies that according to his knowledge about the legal matters, the CCTV footage will have no effect to the case as others may think that there is a contradiction against the first statement of Cedric Lee before the public.

“First public statement of CL (Cedric Lee) that they are just friends? As I said, it seemed that the girl didn’t even want to be kissed. CL didn’t even embrace her, nor did he embrace back. So… The kisses on the cheeks aside, it didn’t affect the case” he explained.

If in case the word “passionately” will be used in the court to describe the way Cedric kisses the smiling model inside the elevator with some other particulars surrounded them, he will lodge a protest with regards to that CCTV footage, he said.

“I would object to the use of the word “passionately” then I would pull out the definition from the dictionary. Then I would pull my wife and kiss her in a passionate manner to prove my point. I expect to be sustained by the judge,”

“I will NOT say that the CCTV lies. We all saw what we saw. And yes, I’m glad that you noticed that the big group was so relaxed when they went inside the elevator. So… Doesn’t look like this group was heading for a flight, tama ba?” added Atty. Fortun.

Atty. Fortun also said that what we have seen in the CCTV footage about the kissing scene of Cedric and Deniece does nothing to prove that there is something romantically affair that link between the two.

“I have spoken to CL about the CCTV. YOU think it is more than a friendly kiss. Maybe, but the girl did not kiss back, nor did she even hold him. If the girl does not kiss back, what does that tell you, sir? Humalik Ka sa babae pero ki Ka hinalikan, Ang Ibig sabihin nun ay “BASTED KA,” di po ba? Nothing in this video has made me infer that they had lied to me when they said that hindi sila mag-syota,” he said.
