This particular comment was captured in a screenshot which Bautista later posted in her facebook page.

On her post, she also said that she have talked to her lawyer for a possible cyber libel  case against Jefferson. This post got the attention of many and some even went to Jefferson's facebook page to comment. 

Shortly after her post, Jefferson posted an apology status asking the author for forgiveness and said he was a "fan" of her works. 

Comments continue to rain even on the apology post which some commenters pointed his post that also criticize many personalities who voiced out against the government. And just after a few minutes, his facebook page is now blank under a new name "Juliet Echo Tango".
