My reply: If the laws copied are applicable to us, that should not be a concern. What should worry us if they are doing nothing but copying others. Going back to the topic, my comment simply pointed out that our libel laws are not unique to us and we should not, at the first jerk of our knees, automatically blame this country. Blogs have a potential audience of several millions at any time. Blogs shape people's opinion and we should be careful with what we post. Cheers! Hi Yuga,

Besides, our laws were mostly drafted based on the existing laws of other countries. Can't keep on blaming the Philippines as a first reaction. That is soooo unfair. This is your country too, you know. That kind of provision is not unique here. Besides, our laws were mostly drafted based on the existing laws of other countries.
