When do we call on online freedom of expression?

Do we make way for the truth thru responsible blogging or do we redefine freedom of the press as freedom that recognizes no borders, overlapping the rights and freedom of others notwithstanding?

Who defines truth? The one accused? …Or the accuser?

Who defines freedom? The one who exercised it? …Or the one denied of it?

Who actually exercised it? Who’s denied of it?

Where does freedom start? Where does freedom end?

a.Such as the blog entries of her fellow bloggers like: http://gurlalien.blogspot.com/2010/01/para-kay-el…

Wow… di maka get over? bakit kaya? well… ang sabi niya, hindi daw dapat palampasin ang mga ganitong 'paninira' sa gobyerno. huh? pero bakit? Alam mo madam, kung di ka talaga guilty, dapat madali kang makaka move-on. eh bakit parang hanggang ngayon eh hurt na hurt ka pa din sa mga nabasa mong blog post? dahil ba the truth hurts? at kahit pa na hindi na ikaw ang mei hawak ng DSWD eh nag file ka pa din ng kaso?

yung mga againsta kay ella, obvious na obvious na related sa DSWD. kung makapag post eh damang dama nila every word.

b.Or the published articles of media men like:
Ramon Tulfo
Whose article: It pays to be honest
http://services.inquirer.net/mobile/10/02/01/html…
states:

FORMER SOCIAL WELFARE and now Health Secretary Esperanza Cabral is reportedly using her office to harass a blogger…

The same group also allegedly went to the Parañnaque residence of the Dolor family, as Cabral was reportedly convinced that Ella was a member of that family.

Same Tulfo who happens to appear here:

42 Journalists kinasuhan ng Libelo

Bandera (six counts, Tulfo's column"On Target" inilabas noong Jan. 26, May 23 at 27, June 6,8 at 17)
27. Eileen Mangubat (publisher)
28. Beting Laygo Dolor (editor-in-chief)
29. Jimmy Alcantara (associate editor)
30. Raymond Rivera (circulation manager)

As confirmed from this column:

The only point I'm trying to make is simple: how can freedom of speech be affected by this, especially against bloggers? Blogging has becoming mainstream, so it must be the reason why, like the traditional media, it's also being under attack. It is now a sad reality that this sends a chilling effect to "brave" bloggers who wants to air out their own take on issues that matter.

In Philippine jurisdiction, the truth is not always a defense. While something is true, if the purpose is to besmirch, then liability still exists. To be liable for libel, the following elements must be shown to exist:

(1)the allegation of a discreditable act or condition concerning another;

Here are some photo captions in Ella's blog:

-Marami pang pabubulukin

-Sige, ideretso ‘nyo ulit ‘yan sa DSWD warehouse. Para AMAG naman ang abutin ng biskwit… at sapot ng gagamba.

-Do you mean “do not delay ang dati nang delayed”

-Sabay tatahiin na ang sako. O di ba, parang asong tinapunan ng buto ang mga nasalanta?

-Relief goods na ayaw yata ibigay sa mga nasalanta. Halatang-halata.

Her Conclusion:
Susulpot din siguro ang laman ng mga mahiwagang kahon at mapapasakamay din ng mga tao…sa ARAW NG ELEKSYON.

(2)publication of the charge;

(3)identity of the person defamed; and
http://www.ellaganda.com/?p=1759

(4) existence of malice.

Legal malice is a term that refers to one party’s intention to do injury to another. Malice can either be expressed or implied.

-Expressed malice occurs when the party gives outward notice that they intend to commit a crime or some other wrong towards another.

Nagpalabas ng directive ang pangulo. Individuals, private companies and other nations were ENCOURAGED to send their donations to DSWD. I blogged about it here (blog entry not found ).

This PGMA directive sounded suspicious to me then. Now I know why.

Here’s the story.

A group of eight people, your ate Ella included, went to one of DSWD warehouses to help in repacking relief goods. We know they need volunteers pero hindi namin akalaing WALANG TAO TALAGA SA LOOB NG WAREHOUSE!

***Ella suspected PGMA’s directive. She went to volunteer and took photos expressly violating the instruction not to do so. She displayed these on her blog with the captions earlier mentioned.

-Implied malice occurs when one party causes death or injury to another during the course of unlawful or disreputable actions.
Pinagbawalan kaming kumuha ng pictures sa loob ng warehouse. I wonder why. (She took photos.)
