Pro-Duterte Vloggers Strike Back: Libel Cases Filed Against Congressman Barbers!



Wazzup Pilipinas!?



On March 5, 2025, a group of prominent pro-Duterte vloggers filed libel complaints against Surigao del Norte 2nd District Representative Robert Ace Barbers at the Quezon City Prosecutor's Office. The complainants, including former National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC) spokesperson Dr. Lorraine Badoy, former press secretary Atty. Trixie Cruz-Angeles, Krizette Chu, Cathy Binag, Joie De Vivre, MJ Quiambao Reyes, and Mark Anthony Lopez, symbolically showcased the 'Duterte Punch' gesture—a signature move associated with former President Rodrigo Duterte—after submitting their complaints.

This legal action stems from escalating tensions between Barbers and the vlogging community. In late 2024, Barbers, who chairs the House quad-committee (quad-comm) investigating issues related to illegal drugs and Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs), became a focal point of criticism from various vloggers. These online personalities accused him and his committee of misconduct, prompting Barbers to address these allegations publicly. He dismissed the claims as "fake news" and challenged his critics to substantiate their assertions, stating, "Ang paki-usap lang natin, ay sa susunod, galingan niyo." 

In response to the continuous online attacks, Barbers sought assistance from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) in December 2024. He requested the NBI to identify and investigate vloggers allegedly funded by illegal entities, emphasizing that their disinformation campaigns not only tarnish public service integrity but also create societal confusion and distrust. Barbers expressed confidence that with the NBI's intervention, justice would be served, and the integrity of the quad-comm and its members would be upheld. 

By January 2025, the House of Representatives initiated an investigation into vloggers purportedly disseminating fake news to discredit the quad-comm. Barbers highlighted the necessity of establishing a regulatory framework to prevent the misuse of social media platforms for spreading misinformation. He clarified that while criticisms are acceptable, they should be grounded in truth and not constitute disinformation. 

Throughout these developments, Barbers maintained that the objective was not to suppress freedom of expression but to address the proliferation of false information on social media. He urged vloggers to exercise their freedom responsibly, cautioning that those found spreading falsehoods could face legal consequences.

The libel complaints filed by the pro-Duterte vloggers mark a significant escalation in this ongoing conflict, underscoring the complex dynamics between political figures and digital content creators in the Philippines. As this situation unfolds, it raises critical questions about the boundaries of free speech, the responsibilities of online influencers, and the role of legislation in regulating digital content.

EcoWaste Coalition Urges Party-List Groups to Remove Campaign Materials from Trees


Wazzup Pilipinas!?



Environmental Advocates Stress Legal and Ecological Consequences

The environmental watchdog group, EcoWaste Coalition, has raised concerns over the use of trees for posting campaign materials by certain party-list groups participating in the upcoming midterm elections on May 12. This appeal follows their recent criticism of senatorial candidates for placing campaign tarpaulins in unauthorized locations.

During their monitoring on March 2, EcoWaste Coalition observed campaign tarpaulins from at least five party-list groups affixed to trees along sections of Onyx Street (from Pedro Gil Street to Augusto Francisco Street) and Aurora Boulevard (Barangay 375, Zone 38) in Manila.

Jove Benosa, Programs and Projects Manager at EcoWaste Coalition, expressed disappointment, stating, "We are saddened to see the trees harmed in the name of election propaganda." He emphasized that these streets are among the few in Manila with mature trees lining the center islands and sidewalks.




Legal Framework Against Tree Posting

The Commission on Elections (COMELEC) Resolution No. 11111 explicitly prohibits the posting of campaign materials on planted or growing trees, flowering plants, shrubs, or plants of scenic value along public roads, plazas, parks, school premises, or any other public grounds. Violations of this resolution can lead to prosecution under Republic Act No. 3571, which protects trees and plants from destruction or injury. Penalties under this act include imprisonment ranging from six months to two years, fines between P500 to P5,000, or both. 


Environmental Significance of Trees

Trees play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. They support wildlife, provide essential resources for humans, purify the air, stabilize soil, conserve water, prevent flooding, mitigate the effects of typhoons, offer shade, enhance the beauty of surroundings, and absorb greenhouse gases, which is vital amid the global climate emergency. Damaging trees by nailing or tacking campaign materials can harm their bark, making them susceptible to insects and diseases, potentially leading to stunted growth or premature death. 


Calls for Compliance and Environmental Responsibility

EcoWaste Coalition, along with other environmental groups, urges all candidates and their supporters to refrain from using trees as platforms for campaign materials. They advocate for the use of recyclable, reusable, or biodegradable materials for campaign purposes to minimize environmental impact. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has also called on the public to report any campaign materials posted on trees, emphasizing that such actions are illegal and harmful to the environment. 

In previous elections, the DENR has taken action by removing thousands of illegally posted campaign materials from trees nationwide. For instance, during the 2022 elections, over 114,000 such materials were dismantled to protect the country's green infrastructure. 

As the May 12 elections approach, EcoWaste Coalition and allied organizations continue to advocate for environmentally responsible campaigning, emphasizing that the protection of trees and adherence to environmental laws reflect the integrity and responsibility of those seeking public office.
