The Anti-Cybercrime FLaw


Wore this mask twice, once in October 9, 2012 at the Supreme Court, then once again, during the 28th Anniversary of the People Power Revolution at the EDSA Shrine, February 25, 2014. I hope that this mask retires, never to be worn again. I pin my hope to the Congress and Senate that Cyber Libel be struck off.

Please watch this youtube video in full screen, till the end, when Ronnie Nathanielsz gives his opinion.... review and review the ending seconds and memorize the exchange.


That is Ninoy's take on freedom of speech, which is if you can't talk your mind out you'll just give out a wide open mouth like what the guy got. And that is the essence why Cyber Libel should be struck down.

The Supreme Court ruled that the originator of the perceived libelous material in the web would be the one prosecuted and those who commented or liked or reposted or retwitted the material are exempt from punishment.

Now riddle me this.

On Facebook:

"Yung isang meyor nagwala kagabi sa Casino'ng pinagtatrabauhan ko. Natalo kasi ng 4 million, sinapok yung dealer"

Then somebody commented

"Ah, si Meyor Ambrocio Catacutan? Nakita ko nga. Tanging Inang meyor na yan. Rapist pa nga yan. Pati yung anak niyang si Junior rapist din ang animal! 4 million? Saan galing yung perang yon, magnanakaw talaga yan!"

I got charged for libel and that guy who cutely commented didn't. Oi!

My imagination sometimes linger in such a weird way and I always ask what happened and my imagination answers. For instance what was the scene when Pnoy signed that damning law?

Welcome to my mind. Wherever it is.


Scenario.Malacanang.

Pnoy: "Mar ayos na ba sa 'yo tung cyber cyber?
Mar: "Oo, okey na yan."

Pnoy: "Badong, ayos na rin ba sa iyo itong cyber cyber? Pirmahan ku na?
Badong (who is Pnoy's very best friend from time immemorial): "Okay na  yan Tarmac, pirmahan mo na."
Pinoy: "Tangna mo Badong sabi ng wag mo kong tawaging tarmac!"
Badong: "Tutuo naman, beehh!"
Pnoy: "O sige, beehh ka rin, supot!"

Approved without thinking!

What-if Scenario. Malacanang


Pnoy: "Mar ayos na ba sa 'yo tung cyber cyber?
Mar: "Oo, okey na yan."

Pnoy: "Badong, ayos na rin ba sa iyo itong cyber cyber? Pirmahan ku na?
Badong (who is Pnoy's very best friend from time immemorial): "Okay na  yan Tarmac, pirmahan mo na."
Pinoy: "Tangna mo Badong sabi ng wag mo kong tawaging tarmac!"
Badong: "Tutuo naman, beehh!"
Pnoy: "O sige, beehh ka rin, supot!"

Pnoy: "Sandali, baka makuryente ako dito. Basahin ko muna."

Pnoy: "Mga gago kayo! Bat meron LIBEL dito? Eh ito ang pinaglaban ng Tatay at Nanay ko ah! Ang kalayaang masabi ang nasa loob at isip. Ikinamatay ng Tatay ko ito, ang pagsasalita laban sa katarantaduhan ng mga namumuno sa gubyerno. Ibalik nyo yan sa mga ahas at buwaya.Veto ako muna rito."

Disapproved with thinking!

And........................
