Because of the results of the third exam, the following is a bonus practical exercise for ten points (please type your answers in the comments section of this post) :
1)Define defamation under the libel law in the national language, Filipino (ibigay ang kahulugan ng “defamation” sa ilalim ng batas sa libelo, gamit ang pambansang wika)
2)Applying this definition, give an example of any “fair comment” (a sample of a minimum of ten words, in English or Filipino), whether your own or by any “commentator”, directed at any person involved in the quo warranto proceeding being resolved at the Supreme Court en banc today.
3)To justify your categorization that this is a form of fair comment, enumerate at least five subjects of fair comment (of the ten non-exclusive list discussed in class), then state the criteria or standards of fair comment.
This bonus post is time-bound: the deadline is 11:59pm today May 11, 2018 (or before midnight today).
The fourth and last exam will push thru as scheduled.
Maraming salamat para sa inyong nagkakaisang pagkilos para sa malayang pamamahayag.
