Libel And Defamation Guidelines
Summary
In the Philippines, a negative comment backed by verifiable facts and written without malice is crucial for acquittal in libel cases. Threatening to publish libelous content is a crime against honor. The Miller v. California case outlines obscenity guidelines. Writing a letter can be libelous if it contains false, harmful statements made with malice. Qualifiedly privileged communication does not presume malice unless proven. Libel charges can occur without naming someone if the person is identifiable. Accusations of malversation can be libelous if false, harmful, and malicious. Public accusations require truth and lack of malice to avoid being libelous.Full Conversation
