  • The Celebrity's Right to Autonomous Self-Definition
    65 THE CELEBRITY’S RIGHT TO AUTONOMOUS SELF-DEFINITION AND FALSE ENDORSEMENTS: ARGUING THE CASE FOR A RIGHT OF PUBLICITY IN THE PHILIPPINES Arvin Kristopher A Razon* Abstract With the Philippines being the top country in terms of social media usage, social media platforms have expanded opportunities for celebrities to profit from their fame. Despite the pervasiveness of celebrity culture in the country and the increasing number of unauthorised celebrity advertisements in such platforms, the right of publicity does not explicitly exist in Philippine law. This paper explains that the lack of an explicit statute-based right of publicity does not mean that it does not exist in common law or other statutory law. Centred on the minimalist path of law reform, the paper argues that the existing right to privacy in Philippine law can justify a right to publicity, anchored on the right to protect unwarranted publicity about oneself regardless of one’s status in the public eye, as well as on the right to autonomous self-definition. The illustrative cases in this paper evidence the hurt feelings celebrities suffer from unwanted publicity. A publicity right also exists as a property right under local intellectual property laws on unfair competition. I. Introduction The opportunity to economically exploit one’s name, likeness or identity, often through celebrity endorsements, is a perk that comes with being a celebrity.1 The internet, particularly social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, has expanded the opportunities for celebrities to profit from their fame, providing them with another channel by which they can endorse brands to a global audience, * BA Organizational Communication (magna cum laude), Juris Doctor (University of the Philippines), LLM (University of Melbourne); Lecturer, De La Salle University.

  • Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo Acquitted of Plunder: a Case of Justice Catering to Political Power in the Philippines?
    Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo Acquitted of Plunder: A Case of Justice Catering to Political Power in the Philippines? By Rappler Region: South-East Asia Asia-Pacific Research, July 20, 2016 Theme: Justice, Society Rappler 19 June 2016 The presidential administration of former Philippine president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was marked by corruption, fraud, misuse of public funds, and utter disregard for constitutionalism and the rule of law. She has been widely accused of murder, kidnapping, plundering, and cheating. The US Embassy in Manila was even informed in 2005 by corporate accounting firm SGV founder Washington Sycip that her husband, José Miguel Arroyo, was one of the most corrupt figures in the Philippines, according to US diplomat cables that were leaked in 2011. The Arroyo Administration also arbitrarily and unlawfully arrested her political opponents while it used national security measures and the language of law and order as pretexts to suppress her opponents and Filipinos and Filipinas seeking justice. The Hello Garci scandal that emerged in 2005 merely served to prove that the 2004 Philippine general-election’s were rigged by Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and her political associates. After the scandal, Arroyo would admit that the audio evidence produced about her election rigging was authentic, but nothing happened to her. Her government argued on the basis of procedural law that since the key evidence against Arroyo was a phone conversation that was recorded without her consent that it could not be used while her political party and coalition prevented her impeachment and justice from ever taking place through legislative means by blocking any action against her by using their majority vote in the Congress of the Philippines.

  • Updates on the Implementation of Laws
    Republic of the Philippines Senate Pasay City UPDATES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LAWS (as of May 31, 2013) Fourteenth & Fifteenth Congress 1 PREFACE A law that successfully hurdles the legislative mill is a great achievement. But for all the tedious work that goes into the act of legislation, a law passed by Congress is rendered meaningless if it remains nothing more than a signed document on paper. In other words, if the law is not implemented, it becomes a “dead letter law.” There is therefore a need to continuously monitor and review the implementation of laws. It is in the interest of the citizens to check whether concerned agencies of the government have complied with the requirements, and if the corresponding Implementing Rules and Regulations have been issued. This is to ensure that stakeholders are able to maximize the benefits that these laws were originally designed to provide. This handbook contains a report on the implementation of laws passed during the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Congress. It aims to provide reference materials for Senators, Senate officials and other interested parties about the laws being implemented by different government departments, including their instrumentalities and agencies. It seeks to shed light on the reasons why some laws are not being fully carried out, as well as the problems encountered by the government agencies concerned in their implementation. We sincerely hope that this humble report would serve as a useful guide to everyone who may have the opportunity to use it. Atty. Crisante J. del Mundo Executive-Legislative Liaison Service Office of the External Affairs & Relations 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Fourteenth Congress I.

  • (UPOU). an Explorat
    his paper is a self-reflection on the state of openness of the University of the Philippines Open University (UPOU). An exploratory and descriptive study, it aims not only to define the elements of openness of UPOU, but also to unravel the causes and solutions to the issues and concerns that limit its options to becoming a truly open university. It is based on four parameters of openness, which are widely universal in the literature, e.g., open admissions, open curricula, distance education at scale, and the co-creation, sharing and use of open educational resources (OER). It draws from the perception survey among peers, which the author conducted in UPOU in July and August 2012. It also relies on relevant secondary materials on the subject. What if you could revisit and download the questions you took during the UPCAT (University of the Philippines College Admission Test)? I received information that this will soon be a possibility. It’s not yet official though. For some people, including yours truly, this is the same set of questions that made and unmade dreams. Not all UPCAT takers make it. Only a small fraction pass the test. Some of the passers see it as a blessing. Some see it as fuel, firing their desire to keep working harder. Some see it as an entitlement — instant membership to an elite group. Whatever its worth, the UPCAT is the entryway to the University of the Philippines, a scholastic community with a unique and celebrated tradition spanning more than a century. But take heed — none of its legacy would have been possible if not for the hard work of Filipino taxpayers.
