๐Ÿšจ May public official na dawit sa flood control scam na nagsasabing magpapalie-detector test siya para patunayan ang kanyang โ€œinosente.โ€

Pero ang totoo: sa ilalim ng batas sa Pilipinas, hindi tinatanggap sa korte ang resulta ng polygraph test para sa mga criminal na kaso. Matagal nang sinabi ng Korte Suprema (๐‘ƒ๐‘’๐‘œ๐‘๐‘™๐‘’ ๐‘ฃ. ๐ท๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘–๐‘’๐‘™, ๐บ.๐‘…. ๐‘๐‘œ. ๐ฟ-40330, ๐‘๐‘œ๐‘ฃ. 20, 1978; ๐‘ƒ๐‘’๐‘œ๐‘๐‘™๐‘’ ๐‘ฃ. ๐ด๐‘‘๐‘œ๐‘ฃ๐‘–๐‘ ๐‘œ, 309 ๐‘†๐ถ๐‘…๐ด 1 [1999]) na ๐ฐ๐š๐ฅ๐š itong probative value dahil hindi ito maituturing na scientifically accurate.

So bakit ito laging binabanggit? Ang karaniwang rason ay dahil maganda ang dating nito sa publiko, parang bang sinasabi na โ€œwala akong tinatago.โ€ Pero sa totoo, wala itong bigat sa batas.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Bottom line: Ang polygraph test ay hindi maasahan. Mas matimbang pa rin ang mga dokumento, testimonya, at konkretong ebidensya para malaman ang katotohanan.

Ganito ang nangyari sa isang matandang PDL (Persons Deprived of Liberty). Una siyang kinasuhan ng murder, pero kalaunan ay napatunayan lang ang mas magaang kasong less serious physical injuries na ang kaparusahan ay 30 days lang dapat.

Ang problema: dahil ang kanyang co-accused ay nag-file ng automatic appeal, naapektuhan din siya at tuloy-tuloy na nakulongโ€ฆ ng 23 years.

โš–๏ธDito naging mahalaga ang Writ of Habeas Corpus. Ano ba ito?

Isa itong legal remedy kung saan inuutusan ng korte ang gobyerno o kulungan na ๐ข๐ฉ๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐ฐ๐š๐ง๐š๐  kung bakit nakakulong ang isang tao.
Kung kulang o wala nang legal na basehan para ikulong siya, kailangan siyang palayain agad.

Sa kaso ni Lola, malinaw: tapos na ang dapat na sentensya. Sa tulong ng DOJ Action Center, naihain ang writ, at siya ay napalaya.

๐Ÿ’ก Bakit relevant ito sa atin?
Kasi kahit sino, kahit gaano kaliit ang kaso, pwedeng maipit sa maling proseso. Ang ๐–๐ซ๐ข๐ญ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐‡๐š๐›๐ž๐š๐ฌ ๐‚๐จ๐ซ๐ฉ๐ฎ๐ฌ ang nagsisilbing check and balance laban sa sobra o iligal na pagkakakulong.

Alam nโ€™yo ba? ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ
Ayon sa RA 6713 o Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees, ang mga nasa gobyerno ay dapat mamuhay nang simple at ๐›๐š๐ฐ๐š๐ฅ ang โ€œ๐’†๐’™๐’•๐’“๐’‚๐’—๐’‚๐’ˆ๐’‚๐’๐’• ๐’๐’“ ๐’๐’”๐’•๐’†๐’๐’•๐’‚๐’•๐’Š๐’๐’–๐’” ๐’…๐’Š๐’”๐’‘๐’๐’‚๐’š ๐’๐’‡ ๐’˜๐’†๐’‚๐’๐’•๐’‰.โ€

Ibig sabihin, kapag ang mga pulitiko (o pamilya nila) ay todo-flex ng luxury items, trips, at sobrang karangyaan, may basehan ang taumbayan na magtanong at pumuna. Hindi ito simpleng tsismis lamang, nasa batas mismo na ang public officials ay dapat accountable at simple sa pamumuhay.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿผ At kung nag-aalala ka naman sa โ€œlibelโ€?

Kung lifestyle ng opisyal ang issue, at itoโ€™y may kinalaman sa public trust at kaban ng bayan, sakop ito ng โ€œfair comment.โ€

๐Ÿ’ก Sa madaling sabi: hindi libel ang mag-call out sa pagfa-flex ng pulitiko, bastaโ€™t nakabatay sa totoong obserbasyon at pampublikong interes.

Habang nagtuturuan ang mga nasa kapangyarihan, ang taumbayan ang siyang nagbabayad ng buwis, at siya ring nagdurusa sa baha ng katiwalian.

๐Ÿ’ธ Did you know?
You cannot be jailed for debt in the Philippines! โœจ

Non-payment of utang is not a crime. This is guaranteed under Article III, Section 20 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution. The provision states, "No person shall be imprisoned for debt or non-payment of a poll tax.โ€

BUTโš ๏ธ this does not mean you can get away with your debt. If the contracting or non-payment of the debt is coupled with:
โŒ fraudulent intent or misrepresentation (Estafa under Art. 315 of the RPC), or
โŒissuing a bouncing check is. (B.P. 22), then you may face criminal liability. ๐Ÿ™…
