MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Vice President Leni Robredo vowed to take legal action. The Department of Justice, Office of Cyber Crime has launched an investigation. Senator Risa Hontiveros calls it ”downright misogynistic.” Senator Leila De Lima described it as “toxic and utterly vile.” The women’s group GABRIELA called it “online sexual harassment.” And Senatorial candidate Atty. Chel Diokno said someone must be held responsible for the ”alleged lewd video.,”

They all were, of course, talking about the ”sex video” of Robredo’s daughter Aika.

The case, if filed in court, will be high-profile, juicy, unprecedented and headline-grabbing, especially when it is time for prosecutors to present their Exhibit A.

But alas, there is no Exhibit A because there is no video. It is a curious case of a sex scandal gone viral. Yet no one, absolutely no one, has produced any evidence. Unless, of course, there are plans to make the video after the fact to justify an indictment and court trial. Against whom? That’s the other X factor.

At best, the whole issue is ripe for another film series by director Darryl Yap, a sequel perhaps to the ”Len-Len” episodes.
