A PUBLISHING firm has charged University of Manila president Dr. Emily de Leon with violating the intellectual property law.

In a four-page affidavit filed with the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office last week, Elizabeth Ocampo of Wiseman’s Books Trading claimed that De Leon allowed the school to make unauthorized copies of four textbooks being published by her firm.

Ocampo said she would file a separate civil action for damages against the school, adding that her company lost at least P500,000 due to the unauthorized reproductions.

In her complaint, Ocampo said that the school “religiously ordered” four criminology books from 2005 to 2008. These were Forensic Photography for Criminology Students and Practitioners, Revised Police Ethics and Police Community Relations, Police Operational Planning for Criminology Students and Practitioners and Fire Behavior and Arson Investigation.
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. - John 3:16-18
