... Magandang araw mga kapatas natin at welcome sa isa namang live stream. Mga kapatas natin ito, copyright infringement na kaso at iba pa. Ang dami kasing nalilito dito ang title nito, lumabas lang ito noong August 15...

So marami tayong magandang ipapaliwanag dito. Ano ba ang counterclaim? Madali lang yan. Ang counterclaim mga kapatas natin ay yan yung claim ng defendant. Anong ibig sabihin nun?

Kunwari, ang nangyari kasi dito, si Willie Rivillame ang nagkaso. Ngayon si Willie Rivillame, nung kinasuhan niya itong ABS-CBN na ito, nung sumagot yung ABS-CBN, may mga gusto rin silang i-claim laban kay Willie Rivillame.

So ang tawag doon sa pag-claim o paghingi ng remedyo ng kinasuhan. Yung kinasuhan dito, yung kinasuhan ay yung ABS-CBN, kinasuhan ni Willie Rivillame, counterclaim. Yung gusto nilang makuha laban doon sa nagkaso sa kanila.

So ibang example, for example ako, kinasuhan ako ng Rafi Tulfo in action ng copyright infringement. Alam nang lahat yan, copyright infringement. Nung kinasuhan ako ng Rafi Tulfo in action for copyright infringement, meron silang gustong mangyari sa akin.

Pwede silang humingi ng daños, pwedeng magpakulong. Ngayon yun yung hinihingi nila sa korte. Ngayon pagsasagot ako, pwede akong maglagay ng counterclaims. Yun naman yung gusto kong hingiin sa kanila na i-order ng korte.

So pwede rin humingi ako sa kanila ng daños, pwede rin akong humingi sa kanila ng attorney's fees kung hindi ako yung magiging abogado ko. So yun yung counterclaim.

So anong nangyari dito mga kapatas natin? Sabi niya, issues actually and directly resolved in a former suit cannot again be raised in any future case between the same parties involving a different cause of action.

So anong nasabi ng patas dito? Ganito kasi yan mga kapatas natin. Tapos na yung kaso nila. Itong Willie Rivillame vs ABS-CBN, tapos na yung kaso nila. Ngayon ang nangyari mga kapatas natin, nag-file ng kaso itong ABS-CBN ulit laban kay Willie Rivillame in relation doon sa natapos na kaso nila.

In relation doon sa counterclaims nila. Sabi niya, thus ruled the Supreme Court's third division in a 22-page decision penned by Justice Maria Filomena D. Singh, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Rivillame and ordered the dismissal of ABS-CBN's compulsory counterclaim in civil case number Q10-6770.

Sabi niya ganyan, the court took judicial notice of the Supreme Court first division decision in GR number 201-664 dated October 16, 2019. Dismissing ABS-CBN copyright infringement complaint on the ground of forum shopping.

Dismiss mga kapatas natin yung kaso ng ABS-CBN for forum shopping. Then applied the doctrine of conclusiveness of judgment. Yun yung sinasabi nila, conclusiveness of judgment. Tapos na e yung usapan diyan.

Tapos na yung usapan diyan, nirase na yung issue niya noon, nagkaroon na ng resolusyon, hindi mo na pwedeng buhayin ulit yung kaso. Kasi nga, tapos na yan.

Sabi niya ganyan, which ordains that issues actually and directly resolved in a former suit cannot again be raised in any future case between the same parties involving a different cause of action.

So yung issues kasi tapos na yun. Sinold na yan dati. May kaso ng ganyan. Yung counterclaims niyo doon, linabas niyo na yan dyan noon, tapos na dismissed na, tapos na yung kaso na yun, hindi ka ulit pwedeng mag-file ng kaso tungkol sa ganyan.

Ito yung tanong niya dito, ano po yung forum shopping? Yung forum shopping na yan ay yung mag-file mo ng parehong kaso at parehong parties ng kaso sa iba't ibang tribunal o iba't ibang korte.

Yun ang forum shopping. Anong ibig sabihin yan? Kunwari, mayroong mga korte na mayroong mga concurrent jurisdictions. Ibig sabihin, pwede kang mag-file sa RTC, pwede kang mag-file sa isang administrative body.

Ang ginawa mo, nag-file ka sa RTC, nag-file ka sa Sandigan Bayan, nag-file ka sa kung ano ano pa, more than one. Basta more than one na kaso na parehong parties, parehong cause of action, finile mo sa magkaibang lugar, forum shopping ang tawag doon.

Pag nag-forum shopping ka, ang magiging penalty niyan, dismissal of the case. Bukod niyan, pwede ka pang maging liable pag ikaw yung abogado for disbarment.

Ang sinabi ni Margarita Wannabe, doble doble yung pag-file mo ng kaso. Bakit pinagbabawalan ng SC yung forum shopping? Bakit? Kasi hindi ka pwedeng mag-fish ng lugar kung saan mag-file ka ng maraming kaso para makakuha ng favorable decision sayo.

Kasi pag-forum shopping, ang mangyayari niyan, susubukan mo, baka pagbigyan ka ng RTC, baka pagbigyan ka nitong ibang tribunals na ito, so i-file mo sa iba't ibang lugar. Hindi maganda yun. Madi-dismiss yun.

Okay. Ito, tanong ni Rikol. Sa SC and Senate, considered din ba yung Ateneas Forum Shopping tulad sa kaso ni Sen. Raffy Tulfo? Well if you are talking about the same issues and the same parties, yes.

Pero yung kaso natin in relation to the SC and Senate, magkaiba yung issue. Yung issue doon sa co-warrantor case ni Raffy Tulfo, citizenship.

Yung issue doon sa SC decision, in red, disqualification case ni Raffy Tulfo, e yung conviction niya involving moral turpitude. So magkaiba. Magkaiba yun.

And the first and second cases of the parties and the subject matter. So dito yung kaso natin kay Raffy Tulfo sa SC at sa SCT magkaiba, although the parties may be the same, yung subject matter iba. Or the issues are not the same.

Okay. Sabi niya, in the present case, the court held that the doctrine of conclusiveness of judgment applies given the identity in GR No. 201664 and the present case as to the parties, ABS-CBN and Revillame, pareho. The subject matter, Revillame is alleged breach of his contract with ABS-CBN.

Okay. Applying the doctrine of conclusive of judgment, the court ruled that the issue on forum shopping settled by the court in GR No. 201664 is conclusive between ABS-CBN and Revillame in the present case. Okay.

So ngayon, mga kabatas natin, ang nangyari pala dito, eh, bakit counterclaims yung nakalagay dito? Alam nyo, siguro medyo ano? Ah, kasi compulsory counterclaims. Okay.

Pero ganon yung counterclaim mga kabatas natin na usually yung nage-invoke dyan. Kasi nung binasa ko ito, mga kabatas natin, ano ho, ang nagkaso pa rin naman, eh, ABS-CBN.

So counterclaims. Anyway, basta ganon, mga kabatas natin, ano ho, as it appeared, nadesisyonan na ng korte. Tapos finial ulit nila. Okay. Yan. Maraming salamat. Eto yung tanong niya. Both, all dismissed. Lahat. Lahat ng finial mong kaso dismissed. Walang matitirang isa.

Walang matitirang isa. Kung nag-file ka, di ba, tatlo, tatlong tribunal yung finialan mo, lahat yun madi-dismissed.

May administrative problems na pwedeng mag-arise dun sa mga abogado na nag-file ng suits na may forum shopping. Kasi you are unang-una wasting the time and resources of the judicial and quasi-judicial bodies.

Yun ang magiging problema. Pero madi-dismiss lahat ng kaso na yun. Ito kasing ginagawa nila, more entry, more chances of winning. Yun ang ina-avoid ng forum shopping.

Ito, tama yung sinabi ng under oath dito. Kaya may affidavit of non-forum shopping. Tapos bukod sa mayroong administrative liability, pwede rin may subject sa lying under oath.

Perjury yung nag-file ng kaso. Hindi yung abogado. Yung gumawa ng affidavit of non-forum shopping. Yung petitioner o kaya yung plaintiff. Pwede siyang ma-subject sa perjury or lying under oath.

Tama ito. Dismissed with prejudice. Ano ba yung dismissed with prejudice? Ibig sabihin hindi mo na pwedeng i-file.

Okay? Yan. Maraming salamat mga kapatas natin. At syempre tuloy lang yung sinasabi, matulog po tayo na maimbing. Sandali ito. How about the merits of the case? Wala na, tapos na. Kasi that's the consequence of forum shopping.

It's with prejudice. Dismissal is with prejudice. You don't need to go through the merits of the case anymore. Hindi mo na pwedeng i-file. That's your penalty for forum shopping. With prejudice ang dismissal. Maraming salamat po. At syempre tuloy lang yung sinasabi, matulog po tayo na maimbing dahil alam natin na natutulog na maimbing. Siya yung lagi yung panalo. Paalam po pansamantan.
