@personalmgt - freedom abused is freedom lost.

Freedom does not have to be necessarily pure evil. If what you are doing is not against your free will, then that's freedom at its best. The internet does permit that.

Have you ever heard about the state of internet neutrality in China? Even saying "Democracy" in your email or in your yahoo! messenger gets censored out or blocked by the services anything related to the internet in China. Who's doing all of these? the government itself. That hurts everyone in China and that's the reason why freedom in the internet is important in any forms. Whether abusive or not, it matters.

Also, there will always be an exemption. Child porn, human trafficking and violence(in any form minus trolling and flamebaiting) should be kept away from the internet.

Amalia Fuentes’ son posts bail for libel rap

MANILA, Philippines—The son of actress Amalia Fuentes has posted bail in connection with a libel case filed against him in a Cebu court.

Gerard Stevens, 26, posted bail of P10,000 before Judge Ofelia Arellano-Marquez of the Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 216 on Wednesday afternoon.

Marquez, the Quezon City RTC executive judge, granted the posting of bail for Stevens' temporary liberty.

Stevens is the son of Fuentes, a famous actress (Amalia Muhlach Stevens in real life) whose career in film peaked from the 1950s to the ‘70s.

His posting of bail came after police served a warrant for his arrest at his residence in New Manila, Quezon City, in relation to a libel case Stevens is facing in Cebu.

The Cebu Regional Trial Court Branch 23 issued an arrest warrant for Stevens based on a case filed by the supposed partner of Stevens' father Joey Stevens.

The complainant, Angelica Sierra, alleged that Stevens maligned her in his blog, calling her hurtful names that besmirched her reputation.

Stevens, his mother, and two others are also facing a robbery case before the Quezon City RTC for their alleged breaking into his father's office and getting back his mother's belongings.

Their arraignment for the case, robbery with force upon things, is set for October 19 before the sala of Judge Edgar Santos of RTC Branch 222.

The charges stemmed from a 2007 complaint filed by Rafael Anton and Editha Lopez-Bernardo of the First Mindanao Agriculture Corp, which holds office along P. Tuason Blvd. in Cubao.

Anton, a majority stockholder and Bernardo, the corporate secretary, alleged that Fuentes et al picked the lock of the FMA office in November 2007 and carted away items purportedly belonging to Anton.

The arraignment has been postponed several times pending the resolution of the petition for review Fuentes filed before the Department of Justice seeking the dismissal of the complaint.

@godwhacker: define libel.

@godwhacker: define libel.

• Imputation of a discreditable act or condition to another
• Publication of the imputation
• Identity of the person defamed
• Existence of malice

Based on this.
Which he has taken from this.

ka-kuyaw! magpagawsanay na di'ay ni ug mga abugado ron ug mga amigo sa korte.

kung magka-lisod asta armas pud. di ra ba na known ang mga Garcia nga violente. diha na sila'ng dapita di maayong laki. tsk.. tsk.. tsk..

Garcias may be good in civil cases and the "real estate" business but not in the killing and private army business. Wa man gani gi-tinuod si Leo Lastimosa nga tri-media ang pag lambast kay Gwen.

In the Philippines, life is cheap even if you are a judge or a politician and an assassin is a faceless enemy even if you have 10 battalions of bodyguards.

and for what, just a lousy libel case in an internet forum? oh come on, gimme a break!

as i have said in a separate post about libel; politicians, showbiz and sports personalities are public figures. they already waived that right in exchange for the prolific life they chose and "enjoyed".

in the States, you can RARELY to almost even none that public figures throw a libel case at anybody because it is not worth it and there are thousands in the sea that insult them and damage their reputation, so it is just an exercise of futility.

Hay internets sa Pilipinas. Pa-iralon gyud ang kadakog ulo. Whats the holy crapping use of the delete function of comments sa iyang blog. Kung defamatory ang comment, i-approve diay? Tan-awon lang nimo? Di lang nimo i-delete? It's all on the author/webmaster's responsibility to filter out vulgarity and defamation.

Mao na na, maghuna-huna gyud maka-baws ba without thinking what's at stake, unya ang at stake baya kay ang iya bayang reputation. Good job idiots.

The case is ongoing and we'll see the outcome of this. If Stevens gets convicted, this will set a precedent in our legal system. And expect more lawsuits in the future asking for damages.
