Philippine Activist Arrested for Cyber-libel
Philippine police on Monday arrested Walden Bello, a 76-year-old social activist, academic, and former congressman, at his home in Quezon City on charges of cyber-libel. The arrest was based on allegations by Jefry Tupas, a former information officer for Vice President Sara Duterte. Bello spent the night in jail before being released after paying bail.
> Instead of Duterte participating in... televised debates—as all the other candidates for vice president did—her camp not only filed the #cyberlibel charge against me; it also had the city council of Davao declare me “persona non grata” and labeled me a “narco-politician,” a charge that has negative implications for my physical security in a country where thousands have been extrajudicially executed for being allegedly drug users and peddlers

Norobiik @#SonnyTrillanes filed the complaints before the Quezon City prosecutor’s office on Tuesday, May 14. The former senator, one of the staunchest critics of former president #RodrigoDuterte, said he filed libel and #CyberLibel complaints against Roque and Banat By for accusing him of giving away #ScarboroughShoal (#PanatagShoal) to #China during backchannel talks in 2012. #Philippines #WestPHSea
Trillanes sues #HarryRoque, #SMNI, #BanatBy for libel, cyber libel

Eugene Alvin Villar 🇵🇭Good on Ayala Corporation for winning its cyber libel case against an online user that defamed and red-tagged it. But I still maintain that libel (and cyber libel) should be decriminalized in the first place as an outdated provision of the 1930 Revised Penal Code.

Evelyn ☕"The [#Philippine] #Constitution guarantees #press #freedom and free expression. But not even those fundamental freedoms are absolute. #Libel, for example, is NOT protected speech...and in the digital age, libeling someone online - #cyberlibel - actually carries a higher penalty."
