Every one is given a deadline and checked against later coverage, and the score is published on the ledger — including the ones that miss.

• Awaiting deadline 45% NBI Dismissal for Lack of Criminal Intent

  The NBI Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) conducts an initial review and determines that the remarks, while controversial, do not meet the threshold for criminal defamation or cyberlibel due to lack of malicious intent or clear public injury. The agency closes the complaint, citing insufficient evidence for prosecution, and issues a statement clarifying their jurisdictional limits regarding podcast content.

• Awaiting deadline 30% Administrative Referral to Press Council

  Recognizing the sensitive nature of the case and avoiding direct legal entanglement, the NBI transfers the matter to the Philippine Press Council or a similar media ethics body for mediation. The podcast producers issue a formal apology and agree to a disclaimer or content review process, resolving the issue through professional self-regulation rather than criminal investigation.

The case is elevated to the Department of Justice or the appropriate court, marking a significant escalation from an administrative inquiry to a criminal prosecution.
