On November 16, The Manila Times Online reported simultaneous deve­lopments on the Kris Aquino-Nicko Falcis legal brouhaha, which effectively ignited a continuing word war between the two camps.

That Friday, Aquino paid a visit to the Mandaluyong Prosecutor’s Office to verify the charges of Qualified Theft she filed against Falcis, her former manager, while the accused’s younger brother Jesus held a media conference to deny her allegations.
