Cavite City
On March 28, 2020, the PNP filed criminal charges against Chua and two other people over the alleged spread of fake reports on a COVID-19 case that caused panic in Cavite City. Chua then responded in a Facebook post addressed to Cavite City Mayor Totie Paredes and other city officials, criticizing the local government's handling of the coronavirus crisis, saying he was ready to defend himself in court.
