I can't hold it in. I have a lot of things to say about this
First and foremost, you cannot ban anything or anyone from using the internet in their own ways. It's not yours in the first place. Unless you own it, then that's something else.
Second, why create such a law anyway? It is against the Article 3; Section 4 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution:
"No law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, or the right of the people to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances."
See? Also passing this law is like placing a cover over our mouths.
This is a generation where almost everyone is informed, and with all that information, it is inevitable for anyone to have their own opinion about it.
Now, passing a law that would prevent the Filipinos from expressing their thoughts and opinions about a certain person or politician is just a move of fear. Whoever brought this up is afraid of what the people are saying about him. The people have different opinions, most base their opinions on what they observe, this is the voice of the mass. This is what they see and what they perceive as the truth. If you are afraid of being told off, you are afraid of the truth.
I understand, it is wrong to destroy one's reputation through words. Trash taking is improper. But one stating their opinion towards someone, may it be positive or negative isn't wrong.
Hindering someone from their own opinion is wrong
AFRAID. That is what you are! This is wrong! Hindering us from saying our opinions!
This move is a move for cowards, afraid of how much powerful we are against you. HIDE. You are hiding from our opinions by preventing us to have opinions.
You are afraid of how much power we have through the internet. This is a medium open to us. It is not a one way medium like television where it only shows us stuff without us directly reacting to what we see.
We use the internet to be heard. We use this to tell you what we see! Because you cannot see what we see because you are blinded with political power. Don't you understand? Our opinions can help improve the country. You don't see what we see, but through the internet, we will make you see the truth.
OUR VOICE IS FOR THE COUNTRY. THE COUNTRY IS OURS. NOT ONLY YOURS. PASSING THE BILL MAY BE YOUR FIRST STEP TO OWNING THE COUNTRY FOR YOURSELVES. DO NOT BE SELFISH.
NO TO CYBER CRIME LAW. LET US EXPRESS OUR OPINIONS FREELY.
go, arrest me. File a case against me. I know I am not doing anything wrong. I stand for what I say. I stand for my opinions. I stand for what is right. I stand for the freedom of speech.
