Columnist and radio host Jobert Sucaldito filed a case for illegal dismissal against ABS-CBN Network and DZMM including its station manager Mara Capuyan before Labor Secretary Silvestre “Bebot” Bello III on Wednesday, March 4 together with Sucaldito was Atty. Ferdinand Topacio.

This was after the entertainment reporter-columnist was suspended from DZMM after he made comment about Nadine Lustre’s mental health to defend veteran journalist Ricky Lo who allegedly spread false information regarding the latter’s breakup with James Reid.
Last January 6, Sucaldito castigated the actress for lambasting Lo and even made a harsh comment about Lustre’s mental health on-air.
“You are wrong here. Unang-una, gusto namin ipaalala sa inyo lahat na mga fans ng JaDine, hindi kami ang may pakulo ng lahat ng ito. Wala kaming alam sa mga buhay ng mga idol ‘nyo. Sila ang gawa-gawa ng kuwento na ang mali namin pinatulan namin kaya medyo lumaki at pinag-uusapan,” he said.
“‘Di ba ‘yun naman ang gusto nila? Kuno kuno may mga labas ang pwet, naka t-back pa doon sa building tapos may nakalagay na mga caption na parang gustong tumalon. Sana tumalon na lang, kung ganun lang din naman pala.”
Many netizens especially Lustre’s fans were offended with Sucaldito’s statement, making it one of the trending topics on Twitter Philippines.
However, on January 9, the radio host and talent manager apologized to Lustre as well as to others who got offended by his insensitive remarks.
He also apologized to his radio network DZMM for the discomfort he has caused them.
“I would like to apologize to Ms. Nadine Lustre and to those who got bothered by that sa aspetong ito. I am also apologizing to my radio network DZMM for putting them in discomfort because of this.”
Prior to his apology, Ging Reyes, the head of ABS-CBN News released a statement regarding Sucaldito’s comments. Read more at msn
