Who May be liable for Cyberlibel? | 21 February 2025

A libel committed by means of writing, printing, lithography, engraving, radio, phonograph, painting, theatrical exhibition, cinematographic exhibition or any similar means, shall be punished by prison correctional in its minimum and medium periods or a fine ranging from PHP 40,000.00 to PHP 1,200,000.00, or both, in addition to the civil action which may be brought by the offended party.

Libel, as defined by the Revised Penal Code, is a public and malicious imputation of a crime, or of a vice or defect, real or imaginary, or any act, omission, condition, status, or circumstances tending to cause the dishonor, discredit, or contempt of a natural or juridical person, or to blacken the memory of one who is dead.

In Nozomi Fortune Services, Inc. v. Naredo, the Supreme Court held that a DOLE Certificate of Recognition, by itself, is not a conclusive proof of legitimacy for a manpower provider. It only prevents the presumption of labor-only contracting from arising.
