ABS-CBN's Buzz ng Bayan aired an investigative report on February 23 about Roxanne Cabañero y Acosta and the new rape case she filed against comedian Vhong Navarro. Buzz ng Bayan presented Roxanne's sworn affidavit vis-à-vis statements and evidences that will support or falsify Roxanne's claims.
After presenting Roxanne Cabanero's background according to the people she has worked with in the past and her interview with Doris Bigornia of ABS-CBN News, Buzz ng Bayan dug deeper into the issue with its own investigation from where Vhong Navarro first met Roxanne Cabanero up to the whereabouts of the It's Showtime host at the time Roxanne claims she was raped.
In an interview with Astoria Plaza Hotel's project director Ric Valenzuela, it was revealed that Roxanne Cabanero nor the Slimmer's World Miss Bikini Philippines 2010 candidates were not checked in on the said hotel, contrary to what Roxanne said in her affidavit.
Pets were also not allowed in the said hotel according to Valenzuela, so there's a question on Roxanne's claim that her co-candidate, who was with a pet dog at the time, saw her coming out of Vhong's car after the rape incident.
Buzz ng Bayan host Boy Abunda also interviewed Gwen Villanueva, manager of Island Cove Hotel and Leisure Park where Vice Ganda's April 24, 2010 concert was held. Villanueva confirmed that the concert started late and she said that she saw Vhong Navarro performed and stayed until the end of the show.
Boy Abunda also interviewed Vice Ganda who also recalled that the concert started around nine or half past nine of April 24, 2010 and ended around midnight. He also confirmed Vhong's participation in the concert just like what Villanueva said. Watch the said interview here.
The balanced reporting of Buzz ng Bayan was lauded by netizens, who were enlightened about this new rape case filed by Roxanne against Vhong. Some netizens also expressed their disgust on Roxanne Cabanero, who according to them was lying based on the evidences presented.
In an interview with ABS-CBN News, Roxanne Cabanero challenged Vhong to prove where he was on the night she was allegedly rape before she respond to new developments on the case.
