May nagprivate message po sa akin.
00:16.6
Hindi ko nalang babanggitin kung sino.
00:18.7
Ang tanong niya, ano ba daw ang opinion ko sa pagsampa ni Sen. Rafi Tulfo ng mga kaso laban sa kanyang mga kritiko?
00:26.4
Ito ba ay panggigipit?
00:27.6
Gusto lang ba ni Sen. Tulfo na patahimikin ang kanyang mga kritiko?
00:32.8
O baka lang talaga may nilabag na batas kaya sila nakasuhan?
00:37.4
But before answering those questions, mag one minute crash course muna tayo about freedom of speech para may malinaw tayong perspektibo sa isyong ito.
00:47.6
Ang freedom of speech po ay isang basic fundamental human right na ginagarantiya ng ating 1987 Constitution.
00:55.3
Dahil tayo po ay isang demokrasya, bawat tao po ay may karapatan na mag-express na kanyang opinion na wala siyang dapat ipangamba na siya ay pagbawalan o parusahan.
01:09.7
Malawak po ang sakop ng freedom of speech.
01:13.4
Freedom of speech can be verbal, pwede rin written.
01:17.4
Kalakip din po ng freedom of speech ang malayang pamamahayag, karapatan sa mapayapang pagtitipon,
01:25.3
karapatan sa pagprotesta.
01:28.0
Pero hindi po ibig sabihin na dahil may freedom of speech na tayo, ay pwede na natin sabihin ang gusto nating sabihin o pwede na natin gawin ang gusto nating gawin.
01:40.4
May limitation po ang freedom of speech.
01:43.8
Gaya nga ng sabi ng political philosopher na si Charles Montesquieu,
01:48.6
Liberty is the right to do what the law permits.
01:52.5
Ang ating kalayaan na gawin natin ang gusto nating gawin ay nakadepende pa rin kung ano ang pinahihintulutan ng batas.
02:03.9
In other words, our freedom of speech is not absolute.
02:09.2
At the end of the day, batas pa rin po ang magsasabi kung ano ang pwede at kung ano ang hindi pwede.
02:17.2
Come to think of it,
02:18.6
Can you imagine kung walang limitation ang ating kalayaan?
02:23.9
Na we can just say what we want to say and how we want to say it?
02:29.1
Magkakagulo po, sigurado.
02:32.1
This is the reason why there are limitations on freedom of speech.
02:37.0
And what are the limitations to this right?
02:40.2
These limitations po are in the form of laws which were enacted in order to have a functioning and orderly society.
02:50.6
Now let us attempt
02:52.5
to enumerate these limitations.
02:55.4
First limitation.
02:58.4
Our freedom of speech can be limited for
03:01.5
the purpose of maintaining public order.
03:06.6
pag may halong karahasan na ang ating pagprotesta laban sa gobyerno,
03:11.1
pwede tayong makasuhan ng sedition under Article 139.
03:16.2
hikayatin natin ang mga tao na gumawa ng karahasan
03:19.9
o umalsa laban sa gobyerno,
03:22.5
pwede tayong makasuhan ng inciting to sedition under Article 142
03:27.7
o inciting to rebellion under Article 138,
03:31.9
as the case may be.
03:34.0
Pag nag-spread naman tayo ng fake news o false news
03:37.8
that could endanger the public order
03:39.9
or cause damage to the interest or credit of the state,
03:44.6
pwede tayong makasuhan ng unlawful utterances under Article 154 naman.
03:50.8
Second limitation.
03:52.5
Bawal din po tayong manakot o magbanta sa kapwa
03:56.3
dahil pwede tayong makasuhan ng
03:59.1
grave threats under Article 282,
04:02.3
light threats under Article 283,
04:04.8
or other light threats under Article 285.
04:08.9
Third limitation.
04:11.4
Bawal din po tayong manirampuri sa ating kapwa,
04:15.3
private individual man yan o public official o public figure,
04:19.8
dahil pwede tayong makasuhan ng
04:22.2
libel under Article 355
04:25.8
under Section 4C4 of RA 10175
04:30.6
in relation to Article 355.
04:34.0
Pwede rin tayong makasuhan ng
04:36.2
oral defamation o slander under Article 358.
04:40.8
Wala din pong pinipili ang batas.
04:44.3
Mayaman o mahirap ka man,
04:46.7
ma-impluensyang tao o juts vlogger ka man,
04:49.9
kapag nagkasala ka sa batas,
04:52.2
then you will be punished.
04:55.3
It is in this context po
04:57.1
that we should not be too quick in generalizing
05:00.1
na dahil nakasuhan yung favorite vlogger mo
05:05.0
eh ginigipit na siya o pinatatahimik na siya.
05:08.4
In fairness to Senator Tulfo,
05:10.6
it is within his right to file cases
05:13.1
against those who, in his opinion,
05:16.1
have besmirched his reputation or violated his rights.
05:20.3
Ang pagsampan ng kaso po,
05:22.2
ay part and parcel of due process
05:24.6
which is a fundamental right
05:26.1
that is also guaranteed under our Constitution.
05:30.9
Hindi lang po ang akusado
05:32.6
ang may karapatan sa due process.
05:35.4
A complainant such as Senator Tulfo
05:37.4
has the equal right to due process
05:39.6
just like the accused himself.
05:43.4
Mas pabor pa nga sa akusado
05:45.2
ang proseso at batas.
05:47.3
The interpretation of our penal laws
05:49.9
is always favorable to the accused.
05:54.0
any doubt as to his guilt
05:55.7
will always be resolved in his favor.
05:59.3
Mabigat po ang responsibilidad ng prosecution
06:02.3
dahil ang prosecution
06:03.7
will be the one to prove the guilt of the accused
06:07.6
beyond reasonable doubt.
06:10.3
This is so because
06:11.2
every person charged with a criminal offense
06:14.3
is always presumed innocent
06:16.8
until proven otherwise.
06:20.0
So instead of creating the perception,
06:22.2
na gusto lang patahimikin ni Senator Tulfo
06:24.4
ang kanyang mga kritiko
06:25.4
kaya siya nagsampan ng mga kaso,
06:28.3
dapat i-welcome nyo pa nga
06:29.7
dahil ito na yung magiging opportunity ninyo
06:32.7
to prove him wrong.
06:36.3
So hanggang dito na lang po
06:37.7
and see you in my next video.
06:40.8
Maraming salamat po.
