CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – A Pampanga board member accused of large scale estafa has filed a complaint against four media outlets based in the province for alleged violation of the Data Privacy Act of 2012.
Shiwen Lim, also known as Estelito P. Lim, lodged the complaint with the National Privacy Commission against Punto! Central Luzon, SunStar-Pampanga, CLTV-36, and iOrbit News Online last September.
Lim alleged in his complaint that the disclosure of his personal details indicated in his warrant of arrest that was published in media violated his privacy and “demonized” him in the public eye.
Stories of Lim’s legal entanglements published in Punto! Central Luzon carried screenshots of documents of the cases as factual bases for the articles, notably:
