- Multiple-time respondent Diether Ocampo
I am certainly sure that this is not the first time Diether Ocampo got sued. I remember writing in this blog’s predecessor an article about SSS filing charges against Diether Ocampo.
Now, though it is not a government subdivision, which is filing charges against Diether Ocampo, the primetime actor is getting sued nonetheless.
Per reports, Diether Ocampo and his partners are being sued for P3.6 million by a printing company over the alleged nonpayment of the printing of UNO men’s magazine.
-Velprint Corporation, in a three=page complaint, alleged that Diether and a certain Neil Angelo Romero, together with 5 Leaf Publishing Corporation, contracted its services from June 2 to Dec. 28, 2009 for the printing of the magazine.
Velprint said the contract for P4,124,970 was covered by postdated checks but despite completion of the job, Ocampo and his partners only settled P490,000, leaving a balance of P3,643,970 as of July 22, 2010.
Diether, in response, claims that he has divested himself of his shares from 5 Leaf. He said:
“It’s best that they get in touch with 5 Leaf’s management to address the issue. I have asked my lawyers to look into it to make sure everything’s okay.”
The case was raffled off to QC Regional Trial Court Branch 219 under Presiding Judge Bayani Vargas.

Diether used to partly own UNO Magazine but he let it go because it wasn’t able to topple FHM in the men’s magazine market. It’s hard for UNO to compete with FHM. Maxim is already defunct.
