As a Filipino myself, I guess the president didn't completely understand what act he's signing. Additionally, cyber-libel inserted in the very last minute is not a very good practice. To take the fact that he's the senator that did some plagiarism and got what he called as "cyber bullied" by the online community.

Oops! I think what I said is enough. I might be charged with cyber-libel with this statement.

The fact that I upvoted you means I might get charged as well. Hooray!

Are you based in the Philippines? Short of taking to the streets or "joining" Anonymous Philippines, what can we do as regular Juans?

Yes, I'm based here in the Philippines. Taking it to the streets may not be a good idea. We are talking a technology issue here and going to the streets is not appropriate and "hi-tech". As a regular Juan, I do not advise joining Anonymous Philippines. They are a set of trained hackers and a regular Juan might just destroy them. I respect them, but let's just let them do it and leave it that way.

What a regular Juan can do is protest via social network (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). It's a more high tech version of going to the streets. Spread awareness and campaign. Educate others for it is all about. Educate the politicians of what they are doing.

I think educating people is the best we can do.
