00:45.9
Sabi niya, nanalo ako. Wala naman akong imprisonment, sabi ng batas.
00:51.9
Pero hindi niya nakikita ang kahalagahan nitong desisyon na ito,
00:57.4
ang presidential document.
00:58.4
Ito yung value of this decision of the court.
01:01.5
Landmark ito, Christian. This is a landmark case.
01:04.8
Yung mga nakita ko nagtatanong po kanina online, sinasabi nila,
01:07.9
bakit daw 30,000 lang yung fine na ipinakatao sa kanya?
01:11.8
Ano po bang ano? Medyo luma ba talaga yung batas dyan?
01:16.0
Sa opinion niyo ba masyado maliit yun, 30,000?
01:19.5
Well, we have to revise the rules of court.
01:21.8
We have to revise it.
01:23.7
Pero ang pinaka mataas na penalty na bibigay is 30,000.
01:28.4
Plus 30 days of imprisonment.
01:34.0
Yung sa kanya, ano po ba? Kasama ba imprisonment or yung fine lang?
01:38.4
May fine at saka stern warning that further similar acts or similar utterances
01:47.2
of the respondent, Badoy Partosa, would be treated sternly, more sternly,
01:54.4
and that a higher penalty will be in the office.
01:59.1
Pag ganun po ba, kunwari, inulit?
02:00.8
Kunwari, kasi kung marami ka naman pera, ano ba naman yung 30,000 sa'yo?
02:05.4
Pag inulit ba yun, ano ba yung nasa range ng tinatawag na more stern na penalties?
02:11.9
More stern is one, is imprisonment, 30 days.
02:15.5
At saka meron tayong tinatawag na Article 19 of the Civil Code of the Philippines
02:22.1
that pwedeng gawing basis yun ng anyone who would be affected
02:27.0
by the utterances of similar utterances of Badoy Partosa, so may she does,
02:33.2
then meron tayong mga remedies sa ibang batas naman, hindi lang dito sa Rules of Court.
02:39.7
Okay. Ano naman po yung ano? Pag-usapan po natin yung importansya nitong ruling na ito
02:44.5
ng Korte Suprema at sabi nyo nga po, moto proprio, hindi kailangang may lumapit sa Supreme Court.
02:50.7
Sila mismo, umaksyo na po. Tama po ba? Yan po yung ibig sabihin nun, di ba?
02:57.0
Ang importansya nito, anong kahalagahan nitong ruling na ito in the context of judges
03:03.1
performing their responsibilities? Kasi ito, kulang na lang yata murahin yung judge, no?
03:08.5
Actually, mas masakit pa sa mura yung mga sinabi sa kanya.
03:11.3
So, ano yung implication nun sa ganyang konteksto po?
03:15.8
Ang konteksto nito ay pinapangalagaan ng Supreme Court ang independensya ng mga juez, ng mga judges.
03:26.2
hindi dapat silang matakot na mag-render ng desisyon ayon sa kanilang pagpanaw sa kanyang mga kaso na kanilang hinaharap, no?
03:36.6
Because when you adjudicate, when you decide or render decisions, you're actually functioning as an officer of the court, no?
03:44.9
Part of the judicial system.
03:47.4
And the hierarchy of courts, kasama ng RTC, kasama ng Court of Appeals, kasama ng Supreme Court, ang pinakamatasa ng Supreme Court.
03:55.0
dapat walang, walang, walang iniisip ang judges.
04:00.4
Kung hindi, kung anong tama sa kanyang sapantaha sa mga ebidensyang inilahag sa kanya.
04:06.5
At huwag siyang matatakot ng outside influences, at hindi siya tatakutin mga parties sa litigation,
04:13.8
at dapat ay malaya siyang magbibigay ng desisyon.
04:17.3
Iyan ang independence of judiciary.
04:20.5
Dito po, di ba, ang punente po o yung sumulat ng desisyon ay si Justice Marvick.
04:26.2
And I think a significant portion of that decision focused on freedom of expression in the context of this so-called marketplace of ideas.
04:39.3
Gano'n po kahalaga yung sinabi niya tungkol doon, no?
04:42.0
Kasi nga, sinasabi ng, alam naman ng marami yung ibig sabihin ng marketplace of ideas, no?
04:48.6
Magtutuwang galean yung mga opinion, idea.
04:52.8
And meron tayong, tawag dito,
04:55.0
confidence sa tao because of our human faculties para piliin kung ano yung tama.
05:00.1
Pero maganda yung discussion doon ni Justice Leonin po, no?
05:04.0
Siguro ang tanong ko sa inyo, hindi ba ito, ano, parang attack naman on free expression
05:10.3
kung ganito naman niya ipinataw against someone like Lorraine Badoy?
05:15.1
Well, ang masusing, you know, and explain ni Justice Leonin ang ibig sabihin ng freedom of expression
05:26.2
Sabi niya na talagang unfettered dapat siyan, no?
05:29.4
The general rule is that it's not supposed to be, there should be no law abridging the press freedom
05:36.7
In fact, in our 1987 Constitution, lilagyan pa nga nila ng freedom of expression.
05:42.6
Hindi lang yung freedom of the press, no?
05:46.0
Kaya ang sinasabi ni Justice Leonin at mahaba niyang tinanakay at in genesis ng freedom of expression
05:55.0
and freedom of speech,
05:56.3
tinanakay niya ang anong kahalagahan ng freedom of speech dito sa ating bansa, sa democratic polity.
06:02.7
But ang sabi niya, hindi ito unfettered.
06:06.2
In other words, merong hangganan to.
06:10.1
Hindi maaaring makamumurahin mo, for example, ng judge in that particular context
06:14.6
and then sasabihin mo freedom of the press yan, freedom of expression.
06:17.5
In other words, it impacts on the integrity of the judge.
06:25.0
So, based on falsehood, for example, as in this case, as found by the Supreme Court,
06:31.7
then hindi pwede natin po protection ng so-called freedom of the press ng respondent.
06:37.2
May hangganan, no?
06:38.5
Tsaka tulad nung binabanggit ko po lagi dyan, yung marketplace of ideas concept, dapat i-update yan eh.
06:44.6
Kasi sa panahon ng disinformation, at kung saan yung platforms ng social media ay nakokontrol,
06:52.0
kumbaga, it applies kung yung free market of ideas.
06:55.0
Level yung playing field. May equal opportunity sa mga tao to express themselves.
06:59.3
Sa panahon niya yan kasi, yung mismong tindahan, yung mismong merkado, kontralado ng mga manipulators.
07:05.8
So, yan ang medyo nakakatakot dyan.
07:07.6
Ito ba, gusto kong puntahan yung mismong kaso, yung prescription case.
07:11.3
Doon yata nagputok yung butsi nitong serial red tiger na si Lorraine Badoy.
07:16.9
Ano po ba yung kasong hinawakan ni Judge Malagar sa Manila?
07:25.0
Ang issue doon is whether you should proscribe the CPP, NPA, NDF, and other so-called communist organizations as terrorist groups.
07:38.5
Yung nakalagay sa Human Security Act.
07:40.6
So, ang tinasabi ni Judge, dinismiss ni Judge yan.
07:44.8
Nawala daw basis ang petition ng Department of Justice in that respect.
07:51.8
That was during the time of Duterte.
07:53.6
So, dinismiss niya yan.
07:56.4
Kaya, yun ang nagputok ang butsi ni Respondent Badoy-Partosa.
08:02.1
At she went through a rampage of those utterances that are subject of this petition for indirect contempt.
08:11.1
So, ibig sabihin yan, kunwari, may gumawa niyan, kunwari, in another instance, meron ng malinaw na ruling ang Supreme Court.
08:17.8
Kunwari, dito, sa decision mismo ng Supreme Court,
08:22.1
ang punente si Justice Leon,
08:23.6
kunwari, may nagmura naman sa kanya, sinabi, bayaran ka, siguro, NPA ka.
08:29.2
This can also apply to that person. Tama po ba?
08:32.9
This is a presidential value.
08:34.8
In fact, ang sabi po namin, this is a landmark case.
08:39.2
Because, number one, sabi ng Supreme Court, dalawang issues po ang sinabi ng Supreme Court dito.
08:46.0
The first issue is the locus standi or the standing to sue of the petitioners who are all lawyers.
08:53.6
Kaya yun po ang standing to sue ng mga lawyers. Kasama na na ang inyong lingkod.
09:00.1
At sabi ng Court, you are officers of the Court, and therefore you are the guardian of the rule of law,
09:07.1
and therefore you have the duty to act as guardians of the independence of the judiciary.
09:14.2
So, itong kontekstong yun, yun ang sinabi ng Supreme Court.
09:18.0
Kaya, inacknowledge ng Supreme Court ang aming standing.
09:21.5
O yun, ang tanong dito,
09:23.6
Bakit kami pumuntang diretsyo sa Supreme Court?
09:26.5
Sinabi nga namin, ito ay of transcendental importance.
09:33.0
Kaya kami lumahag mismo sa Supreme Court diretsyo.
09:36.1
Because under the rules of law, rules of court rather,
09:39.3
dapat final namin ang petition doon kay Judge Malagari herself sa kanyang korte.
09:45.2
Ang ginawa namin, no.
09:46.6
Pumunta kami sa itaas.
09:48.5
At diretsyo kami pumunta sa Supreme Court on this petition for indirect contempt.
09:53.6
the Court recognized that.
09:56.2
Thankfully, the Court recognized that.
09:58.2
And this is a presidential procedure of presidential value for all of us.
10:05.9
Sa ganyan po ba, sir?
10:08.2
Kaya, anyone who would be similarly attacked by anyone,
10:15.2
pwedeng lumahag na ngayon using this as a presidential case.
10:20.2
