Protect our Right to Freedom of Expression


Protect our Right to Freedom of Expression!

Senator Vicente Sotto III a.k.a. Tito Sotto, who is also one of the hosts of GMA 7's noontime show, Eat Bulaga 

(EB), is a known proponent of the Cybercrime law. This could be the reason why the official website of the 

noontime show, along with 24 government websites, were hacked by the infamous Anonymous Philippines 

yesterday at dawn. (As of this writing, the EB website is already up and running.)
The Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) issued by the Supreme Court to stop law enforcement agencies such 

as the Department of Justice, the National Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Science and 

Technology (DOST) from implementing the Cybercrime law ends on February 6 2013. Together with the TRO, an 

order dated Oct. 9, 2012 states that the high court will deliberate on the issues via oral arguments on January 

15, 2013. Hence, the protesters of the law, including Anonymous Philippines, are again "alive" and actively 

campaigning for either the extension of the TRO or the non-implementation of the law.
