Cornejo’s legal counsel Ferdinand Topacio confirmed the possibility of having an agreement with Lim. However, he said that it should first be consulted with his client and Lim’s complainant, Cornejo.

"Palagay ko, there is much room here, for agreement. Ito naman po ay kasong libel, ano, pero 'yun po ay offhand lang po ano. In any settlement, in any talk with Mr. Michael Sy Lim, siyempre kailangan pong isangguni kay Ms. Deniece Cornejo dahil siya po ang offended party po sa kaso na ito," Topacio said in an interview with DZMM.

Topacio added that he got a chance to speak with Lim, who was arrested by Philippine National Police Women and Children Protection Unit on Tuesday.

“Narinig ko po 'yung kanyang pahayag na kung na-offend po niya 'yung aking kliyente, na in this case is si Ms. Cornejo, ay hindi niya sinasadya. Nakausap ko rin po siya noon po siya ay nahuli ng CIDG at dinala po sa presinto sa (Camp) Crame. Maayos naman po ang aming pag-uusap, very friendly," Topacio said.

Topacio further noted that since this is the first time that a cyber libel case was granted a warrant following the release of rules and regulations for Anti-Cybercrime Act, Cornejo is careful with her next actions regarding the case.

Cornejo filed cyber libel charge against Lim after he posted an article on his website claiming that she was sick with a sexually transmitted disease. He was held at the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group during his arrest and was recommended a bail of P16,000 by the police.
