SC issues TRO on new cyber law

The Philippine Star
October 09, 2012

MANILA, Philippines - The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) on the implementation of the Cybercrime Prevention Act.

The SC magistrates unanimously voted for the issuance of the TRO.

Fifteen petitions have been filed before the Supreme Court questioning the constitutionality of the new cyber law, which President Benigno Aquino III signed last September 12.

The TRO's issuance came as the Department of Justice (DOJ) was holding a cybercrime forum in its office in Manila.

At the forum, DOJ Assistant Secretary Geronimo Sy said that the law will not target bloggers and social media users. He said what the law is seeking to after are the "most pernicious" crimes.

Sy also said that the DOJ is uninterested in personal communications among social media users, belying claims that the law would hamper free speech on the internet.

He added that the DOJ would not allow any politician to use the law to get back at his critics.

First cyber case

Sy said that the first case filed before the DOJ under the new law involves the sex video of a 17-year-old girl, who was first abused when she was 15.

"The video is all over the internet. The permanence is there. She can no longer face anyone. Can we stop the videos? No. What we can do is to provide counselling to the woman, change her identity and to have her relocated. This case validated 10 years of work of frustration. So long as we can help one Filipino and one vulnerable [person, this is worth it]," Sy said.

Meanwhile, Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago, in a statement posted in her website, said she predicts that the SC will "strike down Cybercrime Act as unconstitutional."

"In my humble opinion, the law as presently worded is unconstitutional.

"The Cybercrime Act is a law that dangerously limits the growth of the marketplace of ideas.  Therefore, it is presumed to be unconstitutional.  But in addition, the law is unconstitutional, because it uses language that is overbroad, and language that is too vague.  In other words, it violates the overbreadth doctrine and the void for vagueness doctrine in constitutional law," she added.

First victory

Senator Teofisto Guingona, one of the petitioners of the new law, said that the SC's unanimous decision on the issuance of the TRO "is a strong message of its belief that the dangers and fears of the people are real and must be addressed."

"A TRO against the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 is the first victory of the people and of freedom of expression... With this TRO, the tyrannical powers granted by the law are effectively clipped. However, the fight is not over," Guingona said.

Guingona and the other petitions particularly questioned the new cyber law's provision on online libel.

The Human Rights Watch, meanwhile, urged the high court to "strike down" the new cyber law.

“We commend the Philippines Supreme Court for issuing a temporary restraining order against the Cybercrime Prevention Act. The court should now go further by striking down this seriously flawed law," the group said in a statement.

It added: “Congress, if it still wants to have a law governing online activity, should ensure that such a law will not infringe on civil liberties, human rights, the Constitution and the Philippines’s obligations under international law." -with Camille Diola and Cheryl M. Arcibal

We will continue our protest until this law is ultimately abolished. Thank God for enlightening the Supreme Court.

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.
