Maria Ressa Convicted Guilty of Cyber Libel

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"This is not about press freedom. This is about irresponsible journalism"

One of the Philippines’ most prominent journalists, Maria Ressa, has been found guilty of cyber libel charges, a verdict that could lead to six years in prison and is likely to be viewed as a major set back for democratic rights in the country.

Rappler's Maria Ressa said her conviction of cyber libel is a “pivotal moment” for democracy and a free press.

It's sad and devastating that a mere correction from what was published years ago has led to a legal detention of about 6 years.

However, it's the independent court that has released this decision and it alone can comprehend and interpret better the ambiguities of Anti Cyber Crime Law.

Let this situation set the mood to all who post online that we must be careful and responsible of our contents because people today are aggressive to maintain their reputation they built over the years.

Is this is an atrocious, appalling decision?. A very sad day for the state of jounrnalism in the Philippines and freedom of the press around the world?

The judge said Rappler offered no proof to back up its allegations against Mr Keng's human trafficking, drug smuggling, involvement in a murder case, smuggling of fake cigarettes, and illegal transaction of granting special investors residence visas to Chinese nationals.

Mr. Keng pleaded to Rappler to publish a clarificatory article at the very least, to air his side of the story.  But Rappler did not.

Too bad. Too late. Tsk, tsk.

If only Rappler adhered to accuracy, fairness and balance in terms of reporting, they could have RETRACTED FALSITY to their previous article about Mr. Keng. It would have been that simple to close the case.

If the present generation of Filipinos choose silence against Duterte's actions,  what kind of example are they showing the young Filipinos?

Submission to tyranny? Cowardice towards a govt that tramples upon one's  constitutional  freedom of speech and press?

“First, they silenced the press. Then we don’t know what happens next”
It seems this government is too scared of strong women who speaks the truth and knows how to fight for her freedom. Our freedom.

A scandalous threat to press freedom. “The court has become complicit in a sinister action to silence a journalist for exposing corruption and abuse.”

If you’re STILL not furious at this point I honestly have no words for you.

Does Rape Happen When A Girl Dresses Provocatively?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Through their social media page, Lucban Municipal Police Station warned girls not to wear short clothes to prevent sex crimes, Frankie Pangilinan voiced out her opinion on the matter on social media:

"Stop teaching girls how to dress?? Teach people not to rape," Frankie wrote on Twitter.

Even Mon Tulfo shared his sentiments to react to what Frankie said.

Ang point lng nman po ng mga pulis eh ung mga balot na balot nga eh nararape yun pa kayang mga babae na mahilig magsuot ng sexy na damit...oo me point din naman si miss pangilinan...pero simpleng paalala lang naman to galing sa gobyerno, ewan kung bakit pinapalaki.

Some will say hindi rin masisisi kung bakit nagdidilim ang paningin ng mga rapists, dahil sa  pag ba balandra ng  katawan ng iba nating kababaihan sa social media, kaya nag kaka demonyo na ang mga isip, lalo na yong walang magawa, dahil halos hubot hubad na sa  kanilang paningin, ayon nag ha hallucinate na sila, wala  tayong respito sa sarili natin, sa mga nakikita nila sa magazines, tabloid at mga palabas, yan ang nag tulak sa kanila para gumawa ng kasamaan, karahasan.

Sa panahon ngayon na internet at droga ay napakalaking impluwensiya, dapat turuan ang mga batang lalaki at lalo na batang babae ng mga tamang kaugalian at pag respeto sa kapwa, nakahubad man o nakadamit.

...pero wala ring masama kung magdadamit ng maayos pag lumalabas. Respeto na rin sa sarili bilang isang babae.

Ang nga foreigners ayos Lang na manamit kung ano ang gusto nilang Isuot (meron pa rin pong ipinapagbawal sa totoo Lang Po), sa Pilipinas kung mananamit ka ng LUWA na ang kaluluwa mo nag haha nap ka talaga ng trouble, kaya dapat manamit Lang ng AYOS and don’t look for trouble, tama lang talaga si TULFO.

There are 3 basic elements for a crime to happen - any crime. 1.) Desire to commit a crime 2.) Target of a criminal's desire and 3.) Opportunity for the crime to be committed.

You're putting yourself on the # 2 by dressing up to stimulate the criminal's mind. You're like a sore thumb. Like justice, criminals excuses NO ONE!

The society is filled with different people good and bad, while some are wolves in a sheep's clothing. Asking the criminals not to rape to is too farfetched.

It's like asking the sharks in the seas to be a guppy.

The policeman have the good intention but have said it in a bad way. A lot of people, especially influencial once could have used this as an opportunity to make everyone aware, but chose to choose the worse way to conduct themeselves. Sumacumlaude, a senator's daughter... Tsk this how our society have gotten itself under the night soil.

Frankie got the wrong formula. It's not "revealing dress = rape", it's never like that. It's "criminal mind + opportunity = rape". Women who got raped were those helpless, overpowered and those who do not expected it. Look at those people who got raped, they were'nt the ones who flaunt their skin to the public.

Para balance, dapat turuan ang mga babae na mag damit ng kagalang galang at turuan ang mga lalake na respetuhin ang mga babae.... Masyado kasi one sided ang utak ng mga makikitid.
