In case you are wondering, the name is real. I wonder if you remember the case we handled opposite one another when we were much younger. I of course remember all the fine lawyers that I came across with in my career. I won't comment on the topic for obvious reasons. I just wanted to say hello. Cheers and godspeed.

Students of Quezon City Science High were suspended due to blog posts criticizing the current principal. It seems that blogs are gaining notoriety with traditional bastions of power. Warrior Lawyer, do we have clear guidelines on how libel is to be handled by the courts if the publication is through the internet? Here’s another case.

Also, since you are a lawyer...may I ask if how far this blogging case could go? I just don't remember if Bambee is using blogspot.com as hosting or if she has her own hosting. Because otherwise, if its under blogspot.com, its under google.com meaning, google is partly responsible for it because they screen everything that is published and allowed what on blogspot...what do you think about that? I'm just curious, because online world is a huge thing.

We don't have a right of reply statute yet, which is part of the proposed law decriminalizing libel being put forward by Sen. Pimentel. The right-to-reply bill is a companion measure to the bill decriminalizing libel which has long been pending in both chambers for Congress. It's being opposed by traditional media as an infringement on the freedom of the press. U.S. jurisprudence supports the latter view. Should such a measure pass, then failure to exercise the right to reply could be a defense against the criminal aspect (which would have been decriminalized in any case) of the Pangandaman libel suit but not the civil, or damages, aspect.

IIRC, having provided the right to reply and the other party not having replied is a defense some publications have used before. no, i mean the defense of the dela pazes to say that the pangandamans have waived their right to reply, as a defense to have the case dropped.

Jester believes that Pangandaman should've exercised his right to defend himself in the blogs. Since blogs, after all, have comments section. I think bloggers are getting way, way ahead not only of the law but common sense.
