Worldwide television videos: Legal discussion beamed nationwide and internationally: laws and cases explained (will take a few seconds to pixelate depending on speed of internet connection being used)
One hour before the cyberlibel promulgation against journalists June 15, 2020, possible 7-year prison, bail on appeal discretionary; 15 mins before promulgation while watching the courthouse scene was gut-wrenching for the resource person, apologies po
This is the full length interview in Headstart, ABS-CBN, by Karen Davila one hour before promulgation in the cyberlibel case against Rappler CEO Maria Ressa and reporter Reynaldo Santos Jr. Said journalists faced a possible prison term of seven years with bail on appeal being discretionary on the court.
In discussing the “Public Figure Doctrine”, elements of libel, penalties made harsher by cyberlibel, implications on all who use the internet throughout the interview, reference was made to the sources relied upon by the reporter and editors.
It was also mentioned in the interview that the Shield Law was invoked in not disclosing the author of the intelligence report : resource person said “reporter” there… Clarification: it was one of the editors who invoked the Shield Law on cross-examination.
(Postscript: the judge however opined that the complainant was a private person, thus, the Public Figure Doctrine, in the judge’s opinion, supposedly did not set in — for the judge)

ABS-CBN covered the promulgation real-time simultaneously with insets and live cut-to-cuts at the Manila courthouse.
(written after viewing this a week later) … Upon seeing the courthouse corridor, live, teeming with camera crew and while watching ABS-CBN reporter Mike Navallo describe the scene 15 minutes before the promulgation — or in the last two minutes of the interview — there was a figurative wrenching in the gut – a manifestation of “i-have-a-bad-feeling-about-this…”
(di maiiwasan na tuluyan na rin pong gumulo ang buhok ko nuong “i-have-a-bad-feeling-about-this” at the close of the interview, sorry powz — because the judge had ignored all law when the prescriptive period was done away with from the very beginning …)

The discussion starts at timer 8:00 of the June 15 vid.

Her most recent work includes the empirical study on the “State of the Prosecution and Conviction for Online Libel for Feb. 2014-May 2016” as holder of the Ramon Cojuangco Professorial Chair for 2017-2018. The research is the first empirical study by a lawyer and educator on the phenomenon of libel prosecution for social media posts since the enactment of the Cybercrime Prevention Act.
From 2016-2019, she is a course developer, module designer, and content-generator for the topic “Law and Ethics in Science Journalism” as part of the UP System project, “Communicating Science and Technology Research and Development in UP or CoST-UP, funded thru an emerging interdisciplinary research program or EIDRP. Her final project, a course for professional journalists on “Contemporary Legal Issues and Issues of Ethics in Science Journalism” serves as guide for the professional science journalist to “learn to interrogate the extent of scientific research, priorities, and experimentation as well as raise questions on whether or not science research should be controlled, and why; or whether or not the use and dissemination of scientific knowledge should be limited, and why”.
From 2010-2012, Marichu conceptualized, built the research, wrote the multimedia track of the Graduate School Program and successfully presented and defended it at the Graduate Council (composed of all graduate faculty), at the Faculty Assembly, the University Council Committee on Curricular Proposals, the University Council at large (academic body composed of all professors), the highest academic policy-making body of U.P. Diliman. This work changed the face and substance of the graduate program of the Department, and brought the graduate curriculum to the 21st century, or the digital age.
In 2009, at the start of her 2009 term as department chair, Marichu summed up years of academic and professional work by faculty members, and conceptualized a proposed vision, mission, and goals for the Department. This was articulated in a Journalism Vision-Mission Paper that was published in the college and department website.
For the first time also, after four decades, the Department articulated its research agenda in 2009. Marichu summed up years of research experience by the faculty and presented a Journalism Research Agenda, which was reviewed and approved by the UP College of Mass Communication by the College Executive Board and published in the college and department website.
