Veteran journalist Philip Lustre Jr. has asked the Supreme Court to transfer the cyberlibel complaint filed against him by lawyer Manases Carpio from Davao City to Quezon City, according to the Inquirer.
The complaint accuses Lustre of cyberlibel. Carpio is the complainant in the case, the Inquirer reported.
