Magna cum laude graduate apologizes for plagiarized valedictory address

A magna cum laude graduate from Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges (CSPC) who


delivered the valedictory address during their college’s commencement exercises has apologized
for the similarities in his and another graduate’s speech after drawing flak from social media
users. 

Jayvee Ayen’s valedictory address gained mileage on social media after several users noted
that his speech shared a similar introduction and theme to the 2019 valedictory address of a Far
Eastern University graduate.

UP student plagiarizes prize-winning photos


Solis had done this at least 5 times since 2011.

The most recent photo that Solis claimed to be his won the top prize in the Smiles for the
World photo contest conceptualized by Chilean Ambassador Roberto Mayorga.
It came under intense scrutiny on social networks on Sunday after the real owner of the photograph,
Gregory John Smith, revealed how “an impostor… abused my copyright.”
Solis submitted a photo of a boy whom he said was named Nilo and was from Zamboanga City. The
caption stated that the boy helped his father farm seaweed. 
During Chile’s National Day on Wednesday, September 18, at the Cultural Center of the Philippines,
Solis was awarded $1,000 and roundtrip tickets to Chile and Brazil.
Smith, a social entrepreneur, said the photo belonged to the Children at Risk Foundation, which he
founded. The child in the photo was from Brazil, not Zamboanga City, he said.
Smith posted a comment on a recent feature article on the ambassador claiming ownership of the photo.

Lawsuit Copyright Controversy


The lawsuit between these two companies originally started last year when Riot Games sued
Shanghai Moonton Technology back in 11 July 2017 in the Central District Court of California
but it didn’t work out because Moonton managed to convince the court to have another hearing
from the court in Shanghai.
