Alright, yan. Magandang araw mga kabatas natin at welcome sa isa namang livestream.
00:09.0
Mga kabatas natin, bisitahin natin at pag-aralan natin itong kaso laban kay Rafi Tulfo na finial sa kanya na libel.
00:19.1
Okay? Ito mga kabatas natin ay nadesisyonan lamang noong January 11, 2021 at opo mga kabatas natin, ito acquitted siya dito.
00:31.9
Okay? Acquitted siya dito. Marami rin kaso ang na-efile sa kanya dito mga kabatas natin.
00:37.4
Several informations ang pumasok. Okay?
00:41.2
Noong umakyat ito sa Supreme Court, na-consolidate na lang ito sa dalawang kaso kasi nga,
00:48.0
nag-appeal yung parehong partido. Okay?
00:52.6
So, bakit ko ba ipapakita sa inyo ito?
00:57.2
Ipakita natin mga kabatas natin yung gravity ng ginawa ni Rafi Tulfo dito
01:01.3
at yung gravity ng mga kaso sa akin na pinapalabas ng mga ampalayagang at saka mga Tulfonatics.
01:12.5
Yung libel case ni Rafi Tulfo sa akin mga kabatas natin, 3 counts ang pumasok.
01:18.0
As of now, tig-isa si Apoluna tapos isa kay I.M. Shanwain.
01:25.3
Dito mga kabatas natin, isang kaso lang ito.
01:29.3
Ang nag-desisyon dito ay si Justice Leonen ulit.
01:34.4
Si Justice Leonen din mga kabatas natin ang na-desisyon noong kanyang kaso kay Michael Guy.
01:40.4
At doon sa co-warrant to mga kabatas natin, pag makikita nyo doon kasi sa Senate Electoral Tribunal,
01:47.2
si Justice Leonen din ang nandodoon.
01:51.8
Ngayon mga kabatas natin, sinabi niya dito,
01:53.9
the need to protect freedom of speech and of the press cannot be understated.
01:59.2
Pag titignan nyo mga kabatas natin, it's about freedom of speech and freedom of the press.
02:04.9
These freedoms are the most pervasive and powerful vehicles of informing the government of the opinions,
02:11.2
needs, and grievances of the public.
02:14.6
It is though these guarantees,
02:17.2
that the people are kept abreast of government affairs.
02:21.1
Without these rights, no vigilant press would flourish.
02:25.0
And without a vigilant press, the government's mistakes would go unnoticed.
02:30.5
Their abuses, unexposed.
02:32.7
And their wrongdoings, uncorrected.
02:36.0
Pag titignan nyo mga kabatas natin dito, no?
02:40.4
So I always ask the question,
02:42.0
yung pag-death twitch sa isang tao ba?
02:46.0
a right doing or a wrongdoing?
02:51.2
Ngayon, tignan natin itong kaso na ito, mga kabatas natin.
02:54.8
Dito sa kasong ito, 14 informations ang na-efile.
03:01.0
14 na kaso ang na-efile kay Rafi Tulfo dito.
03:04.8
Sa akin, tulad ng sinabi ko, tatlo.
03:07.6
Tapos, tig-isa siya.
03:09.0
I am Shan Wayne at siya kasi Apoluna.
03:12.5
Ngayon, ano yung...
03:13.8
ano yung... ano yung dahilan kung bakit na-file?
03:16.0
File lang ako dahil doon sa death twitch ni Rafi Tulfo.
03:18.9
You all know that already, mga kabatas natin.
03:22.3
Tapos, doon sa copyright infringement, dalawa lang dapat yun.
03:30.7
So, syempre, pinaglalabanan pa rin yan sa korte ngayon.
03:34.4
So, we cannot comment about the merits of the case.
03:39.5
Ito yung 14 na informations.
03:43.2
One, criminal case number 9.
03:47.3
Andiyan lahat nung sinabi niya.
03:49.8
Doon sa kanyang shoot to kill na column.
03:53.3
In summary, mga kabatas natin,
03:56.7
wherein said complainant was indicated as an extortionist.
04:01.6
So, dito si Rafi Tulfo, sinabi niya na yung complainant ay isang extortionist,
04:07.7
isang corrupt na public official,
04:10.1
isang smuggler na nag-acquire illegally ng wealth.
04:16.0
To destroy the reputation of the said public official.
04:21.4
Isipin niyo, mga kabatas natin, na ito yung mga sinabi ni Rafi Tulfo dyan.
04:25.1
Extortionist siya, corrupt siya, smuggler, tapos illegally acquired yung wealth niya.
04:34.8
Hindi siya convicted dito.
04:40.3
Pag titignan niyo, yun din dito, mga kabatas natin,
04:44.1
sinabi rin dito na extortionist.
04:46.0
Extortionist siya, corrupt public official, smuggler.
04:48.8
Ganon din, mga kabatas natin, yung mga paratang niya dito.
04:53.0
Iba-iba lang, mga kabatas natin, yung mga senaryo na kanyang dinipik ni Rafi Tulfo
04:59.2
at sinabihan na extortionist, corrupt public official, smuggler, at illegally yung acquired na wealth.
05:06.6
Illegal yung acquired na wealth niya.
05:10.1
Opo, opo, acquitted po siya dito.
05:11.9
Pag titignan niyo, almost pare-pareho yung tenor niyan.
05:16.0
Ganyan din, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 14 counts, mga kabatas natin.
05:29.2
14 counts ang pumasok na kaso niya kung saan tinawag niya ang isang tao na extortionist,
05:38.9
a corrupt public official, a smuggler, and having illegally acquired wealth.
05:46.0
Tinawag niya ang gano'n.
05:48.7
Napatunayan ito, mga kabatas natin.
05:51.3
Bakit ito napatunayan, mga kabatas natin?
05:54.3
Kasi nga, dito, no, sa regional trial court, guilty siya.
06:09.8
Guilty siya sa regional trial court.
06:13.2
Mga kabatas natin, pumunta rin.
06:16.0
Sa court of appeals, guilty pa rin siya.
06:21.9
Pero may mga acquittal na doon sa mga ibang kaso.
06:28.2
Ngayon, pagpunta sa Supreme Court of the Philippines, mga kabatas natin,
06:35.0
acquitted siya sa lahat.
06:38.7
Acquitted siya sa lahat.
06:40.3
Anong ginawa niya dito, mga kabatas natin?
06:42.8
Tinawag niya yung tao.
06:44.2
Tinawag niya yung tao na extortionist, corrupt public official, smuggler,
06:51.4
and having illegally acquired wealth.
06:54.0
Lahat na ng hindi magandang itawag mo sa isang public official,
06:58.9
tinawag niya na dito, mga kabatas natin, sa public official na ito.
07:10.9
Tignan niyo yung verdict dito.
07:18.0
Ano kasing sinabi?
07:19.0
Our constitution laws and jurisprudence have since learned from history and adapted to the changing times,
07:24.3
finding a framework that balances our freedom of expression with the need to protect other fundamental rights.
07:31.2
Tapos, mga kabatas natin,
07:32.9
the guarantees of free speech and free press include the right to criticize judicial conduct,
07:37.8
the administration of the law,
07:39.7
is a matter of public opinion,
07:40.9
and the concern whether the law is wisely or badly enforced is therefore a fit subject for proper comment.
07:46.3
If the people cannot criticize a justice of peace or a judge,
07:49.6
the same as any public officer, public opinion will be effectively muzzled.
07:54.5
Attempted terrorization of public opinion on the part of the judiciary would be tyranny as the basest sort.
08:04.2
The sort of democracy in the hands of a judge does not hang suspended over the individual who dares to assert his prerogative.
08:10.9
The sort of democracy in the hands of a judge does not hang suspended over the individual who dares to assert his prerogative.
08:11.3
As a citizen and to stand up bravely before any official.
08:15.8
Isipin niyo dito mga kabatas natin,
08:17.1
pinapagtibay dito sa disisyon ni Justice Leone na tama lang.
08:23.7
Tama lang ang manita ng isang public official.
08:30.3
On the contrary, it is the duty which everyone owes to the society or the state to assist in the investigation of any alleged misconduct.
08:37.3
It is further the duty of all.
08:39.4
No of any official dereliction on the part of the magistrate or the wrongful act of any public officer to bring the facts to the notice of those whose duty is to inquire into and punish them.
08:53.2
In the words of Mr. Justice Gaynor,
08:55.7
who contributed so largely to the law of libel,
08:58.3
the people are not obliged to speak of the conduct of their officials in whispers or with bated breath in a free government but only in deputism.
09:15.9
In cases of defamation, fraud, and physical injuries, a civil action for damages entirely separate and distinct from the criminal action may be brought by the injured party.
09:22.6
Such civil action shall proceed independently of the criminal prosecution and shall require only preponderance of evidence.
09:29.5
Ito rin kasi mga kabatas natin,
09:31.6
yung sa Article 33 ang finafile na ng karamihang tao na naniniwala dun sa mga sinasabi nila.
09:37.5
Kasi pag titignan nyo,
09:38.9
mga kabatas natin,
09:39.3
mga kabatas natin,
09:39.3
mga kabatas natin,
09:39.4
mga kabatas natin,
09:39.4
maraming nagfa-file ngayon ng kasong libel na hindi nila ginagawang criminal in nature yung kaso.
09:47.7
Civil action lang.
09:50.4
they believe among themselves,
09:52.6
parang yung representative mga kabatas natin na nag-file ng kaso,
09:57.1
ang final niyang kaso ay civil action lamang.
10:01.1
Yung mga nagfa-file kaila badoy,
10:04.6
civil action lang yung kanilang final,
10:08.7
they believe that libel should not be criminal in nature.
10:13.7
Pag titignan nyo dito din mga kabatas natin,
10:21.2
definition of libel,
10:24.5
in determining whether a statement is defamatory,
10:27.1
the words used are to be construed in their entirety and should be taken in their plain natural and ordinary meaning
10:33.8
as they would naturally be understood by persons reading them unless it appears that they were used and uttered.
10:38.7
and understood in another sense.
10:43.6
Ngayon, mga kabatas natin,
10:45.6
death wish slash death threat.
10:48.6
Who is the author of the libelous material?
10:56.9
malice exists when the prosecution proves that the author made the defamatory statement knowing it was false.
11:04.5
there is no showing of good intention and justification.
11:08.7
It implies an intention to do ulterior and unjustifiable harm.
11:13.7
And exists when the offender is prompted by personal ill will
11:16.5
or spite and speaks not in response to duty but merely to injure the reputation of the person defamed.
11:25.1
Isipin mo, ulitin mo lang yung sinabi niya, ikaw na yung malalibel.
11:30.0
Hindi naman pwede siguro yun.
11:36.6
Ano ba maganda dito?
11:38.7
Basahin niyo na lang ito ng buong mga kabatas natin.
11:45.2
It's very enlightening.
11:48.6
Pupunta ko sa inyong, ano,
11:50.7
dito sa, punta na tayo dito sa dulo.
11:53.9
Doon sa pinaka-disposition ng kaso na ito.
11:59.8
Wherefore the petitions are granted,
12:02.2
the Court of Appeals March 17, 2009 amended decision
12:05.6
in CAGR number blah blah blah
12:07.8
which offered the conviction of the author of the defamatory statement.
12:08.6
The conviction of Rafi Tulfo, Alan A. Macasset, and Nicolas V. Quiano
12:12.2
in criminal cases blah blah blah blah
12:14.3
reversed and set aside petitioners are acquitted of the crime charged.
12:21.4
Sabi niya dito kasi,
12:22.8
Nevertheless, the constitutionally protective freedoms enjoyed by the press
12:26.5
cannot be used as a shield to advance the malicious propagation of false information
12:30.2
carried out by unscrupulous entities to injure another's reputation.
12:35.4
The acquittal meted out to petitions that not mean that journalists
12:38.5
have unbridled discretion in publishing news and information below
12:42.0
the standards expected of them.
12:44.0
These standards are prominently provided under the Ethics Journal blah blah blah blah.
12:56.0
Basahin. Ito, ito, ito. Maganda rin ito.
13:04.7
Besides, the constitutionality of criminalizing libel is doubtful.
13:10.1
In libel, the kinds of speech actually deterred are more valuable
13:15.0
than the state interest the law against libel protects.
13:19.2
The libel cases that have reached this court in recent years
13:23.5
generally involve notable personalities for parties
13:26.8
highlighting a propensity for the powerful and influential
13:31.1
to use the advantages of criminal libel.
13:34.7
Ito, silence their critics.
13:48.9
babalik tayo dun sa ginawa ni Rafi Tulfo dito.
13:52.4
Doon sa mga paratang niya dun sa tao
14:04.7
, pinaglaban nila.
14:06.8
Extortionist, a corrupt public official, a smuggler, and have illegally acquired wealth.
14:16.3
Yun yung pinaglabanan.
14:18.8
Convicted siya hanggang Court of Appeals.
14:21.6
Pagdating ng Supreme Court,
14:24.4
exonerated siya, o kaya acquitted siya.
14:28.2
Tapos, sinabi ito.
14:30.0
Besides, the constitutionality of criminalizing libel is doubtful.
14:34.7
In libel, the kinds of speech actually deterred
14:37.5
are more valuable than the state interest.
14:40.9
The law against libel protects.
14:43.5
The libel cases that have reached this court in recent years
14:46.5
generally involve notable personalities for parties
14:50.1
highlighting a propensity for the powerful and influential
14:54.1
to use the advantages of criminal libel to silence their critics.
15:07.7
Yun lang mga kapatid natin.
15:09.1
Maraming salamat sa inyo.
15:10.4
At syempre, tulad na lagi kong sinasabi,
15:11.9
matulog po tayo naman yung bing
15:13.0
dahil alam natin na yung natutulog naman yung bing,
15:15.2
siya yung lagi yung panalo.
