With or without the cybercrime law, Internet users could still be charged with libel under the Revised Penal Code, Senate Majority Leader Vicente “Tito” Sotto III said on Tuesday.

And Sotto admitted that he was not aware of the existence of the online libel law when he proposed it to be included in the cybercrime act.

“There are studies that are being conducted now. And I am informed that if it would be stricken down (libel provision in the cybercrime law), there’ll be no problem. The libel stays in the Revised Penal Code so it can still be used whether you use a computer or not,” he told reporters on Tuesday.

“That’s according to my source in the Department of Justice,” he said.

Asked by this reporter why Congress then still included online libel in the cybercrime law, Soto said, “E hindi namin alam dati. Ngayon lang nalalaman (We didn’t know that before. We just learned about it now).”

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

Think wisely before you speak and listen intently to the people with fruit on the tree. Break down the barrier of stubbornness and pride otherwise you'll always be a part of the crowd..
