in order get a higher score.

Assessment Task I:

Faye, one of the employee of Tabako Corp. informed his superior through an e-
mail message that Seano, President of the Employees Union is planning to commit
Arson by burning the warehouse where important equipment and supplies were
stored. Seano filed a defamation case against Faye. Do you think Faye is guilty of
defamation? Why or Why not?

Faye is not guilty of defamation because Faye's action might not be a defaming
act on accusing fellow worker seano on Arson but giving a warning of what will
actually happen but will only be approved if presented a valid evidence's of
Arson's threat.

Assessment Task II:


Mr. Pang ulo is the President of San Isidro Heights Homeowners Association. Since
most of the homeowners in that subdivision are multimillionaires, Mr. Pang Ulo
and the homeowners maintained a Facebook (FB) wherein all the homeowners
are his friends. One day, Mr. Pang Ulo post in his status message all the names of
delinquent homeowners, that is, those members who failed to pay their monthly
dues. Having felt being demoralized, the affected parties filed a libel case against
Mr. Pang Ulo. Do you think the case will prosper?

Assessment Task III:


Atty. Tabako wrote “Hari ng kapalpakan, hari ng kaplastikan” in his twitter update,
alluding to a well-known plastic surgeon Cike Cello. His Twitter account is
protected, and therefore only people that he approved to follow him are allowed
access to his message updates. The said well-known surgeon got wind of Atty.
Tabako’s message, through his friend who was following Atty. Tabako’s Twitter
account. Will Atty. Tabako be liable under Philippine libel laws? Why or why not?

Please be guided accordingly.
