message sa facebook

Good day po sa inyo,
Ako po si Amang bago dito.

Yung dati kong kaibigan ginamit yung reply message ko sa kanya sa facebook at nilagyan ng heading na nagssasaad ng paninira sa kapwa. Ako daw ang nagpapakalat ng ganoong sulat.

Pwede po bang idemanda ang dati kong kaibigan gawing ebidensya yung sulat. Ano pong kaso ang dapat isampa.

Salamat po,
Amang

If your friend post things on Facebook that are materially untrue about you and unfairly tarnishes your reputation, he/she can be sued for libel and it has happened before.

Though it might be tempting to think of Facebook as a private communication, a plaintiff only has to show that a third party saw the communication and it hurt their reputation. You can commit libel with something distributed to a small list of your friends the same as if you had posted it on the broader Web.

If a False and hurtful words via texts were made about you in a Facebook Posts and you have seen 'Like' or 'Comments' on the Timeline, it is already tantamount to distributing or disseminating libelous materials against your person.

Print the entire Webpage and use that as Exhibit.

However the main concern, IMO, is how to prove that the person posting the libelous comment is his former friend.

how to prove that the person posting the libelous comment is his former friend.

This is a very good question; gather and print more pages and timeline exhibiting electronic correspondence between the respondent and closest of his friends or better yet family members, to establish that your former friend is indeed the owner of the social media account

I just hope that his former friend will not be clever enough to hide his timelime and wall...

@haunt, I do not see any grounds for Libel on your message.

Ako po di Amang,
Yun pong reply message ko dinagdagan ng ibang salita at ipi niprint at ipinamahagi para palabasin ako gumawa noon at upng siraan ang ibang tao.
Puede ho bang gawing exhibit laban sa kanya sa kasong libel?

@amang bolivar, paanong dinadagdagan? The question is do you know the person who does this and do you have a strong proof to accuse the person?

Good day,
Tulad ng sabi ko, nagprint sya ng reply message na may additional words against somebody, at ipinamahagi para palabasin ako ang gumawa noon. Lumalabas ako ang nagpakalat noon.
Sya ang recipient ng message ko. Wala ng iba.

Hindi ggawin ng isang tao na walang galit sa skin...

Kilala ko sya , ano ang kasong nauukol sa kanya.
Ayoko ng asunto dahil wala akong pambayad sa abogado.

Pls advise...

You should retain a Lawyer for this.

Under Article 353 of the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines, libel is defined as a public and malicious imputation of a crime, or of a vice or defect, real or imaginary, or any act, omission, condition, status or circumstance tending to discredit or cause the dishonor or contempt of a natural or juridical person, or to blacken the memory of one who is dead. Thus, the elements of libel are: (a) imputation of a discreditable act or condition to another; (b) publication of the imputation; (c) identity of the person defamed; and, (d) existence of malice. [Daez v. Court of Appeals, G.R. No. 47971, 31 October 1990, 191 SCRA 61, 67]
