The Cyber Crime Law in itself, isn't all that bad....it's supposed to protect us from hacking, fraud, hoaxes, cyber sex and child pornography through the net...that is not only okay....this is needed and desired....BUT
......but, that insertion of Cyber Libel....this law should not have any place in a democratic society...and should never have been supported by an administration
that ran on truth, good governance, and....TRANSPARENCY!
Let us not be deceived into thinking that this insertion was made for our protection against libelous comments....because most of us using the net...can take as well as we can give....we can handle criticisms, or at least, fight it...we do not cry harassment and sue!
Again....let us not be deceived, this insertion was made by our lawmakers to protect themselves and their colleagues in government service who have been targets of negative criticisms, both not deserved, and a lot of them well deserved.
Remember the saying...if you can't take the heat...get out of the kitchen! These guys run for office, court our votes, receive their salaries from our tax, get humongous pork barrels...and yet we cannot and must not criticize them, even when they do wrong.
We give them our trust when we vote for them...the least they can do is trust us back, that when we criticize them or even berate them, we do it because we feel betrayed....and they in turn can answer us back, with harsh words too, if they want.
Investigations, expose's, and the freedom to talk, to write and to criticize, are natural ingredients for transparency and accountability....and a real and thriving democracy cannot exist without them.
I am disappointed that this insertion was allowed, again, in an administration led by someone I truly support and believe in, because I always thought that he and his family were the ultimate fighters and symbols of freedom.....in speech, in information and in our search for truth.
I hope that I and the millions of Filipinos will ultimately be proven right and will be rewarded in supporting this administration....by the suspension and total removal of this Cyber Libel Law!
GOD BLESS AND ENLIGHTEN ALL OF US!
