MANILA — One of the accused "peddlers" of misinformation on the non-existent TRO to allegedly halt the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte vowed Monday to name the source of his false information.

"Ilalagay ko sa aking sagot kung san nanggaling yung information na yan... Remember kaya kami nagpunta sa SC para ma-verify namin kung totoong meron nang lumabas na TRO," Raul Lambino said in press conference.

"It is an information that I heard. As to whether that information is true or not, i cannot give you a categorical answer. That's why i have to go to the Supreme Court to find out the truth," he added.

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) last week filed complaints against Lambino and Duterte Youth party-list chairman Ronald Cardema for allegedly spreading the fake news.

Lambino reportedly made the statement during a Facebook Live broadcast on March 11, where he claimed that a TRO had been granted by the Supreme Court in response to a petition filed by Duterte's legal team.

According to NBI, both Lambino and Cardema falsely claimed that the Supreme Court had issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) to stop the implementation of an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC) against Duterte.

Lambino claimed he was being "singled out" by the administration due to his demand for the Palace to disclose alleged health issues of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.

"Expect na natin yan ganun ang gagawin ng pamahalaan... Ako ang na-single out sa lahat ng PDP-Laban," he said.

Aside from the NBI complaint, the SC also asked Lambino, a lawyer, to explain why he should not face administrative sanctions for “spreading false information” on the arrest of Duterte.

According to Lambino, he has yet to receive copies of both the SC show cause order and NBI's complaint.
