Cayetano filed a petition for preliminary injunction against ABS-CBN Corporation and its top executives before the Regional Trial Court of Taguig City. The respondents are ABS-CBN chairman Eugenio “Gabby” Lopez III, Augusto Almeda-Lopez, Carlo L. Katigbak, Socorro Vidanes, and August Benitez.
Cayetano sought the TRO a day after ABS-CBN began airing the anti-Duterte adpaid for by Senator Antonio Trillanes IV, which showed clips of Duterte cursing, uttering his controversial rape remark, and saying he is ready to kill. In between these clips, various children criticize Duterte for his behavior.
In his petition, which ultimately seeks a permanent injunction on the ad, Cayetano asked the court to issue a 72-hour TRO on the airing of the ad.
