Those who are being forced to make a public apology or appear before the barangay for criticisms they posted online should first consult a lawyer.

Free Legal Assistance Group chairman and human rights lawyer Jose Manuel Diokno gave this advise after University of the East Dawn editor-in-chief Joshua Molo, 20, was forced to make a public apology for criticisms against the Duterte administration he posted online after being brought to a barangay hall in Cabiao, Nueva Ecija and threatened with charges by his former teachers.

Diokno offered some advise to those who have been posting criticisms online over the government’s handling of the current health emergency caused by the deadly 2019 novel coronavirus disease . Diokno also advised the public not to include in their posts “pagmumura, panlalait, at mga personal na tirada .”“Pag maayos naman ang kausap nyo, makipag-debate pero wag makipag-away. Sabihin na lang na ginagalang nyo ang opinyon nila, at sana irespeto din nila yung inyo. Pag masyado nang mainit and debate, mag-break muna. Antayin mo bumaba ang galit mo bago mag-reply ,” he told the public.

Lol. Non-essential worker trying to stay relevant.

if your last case(fishermen) will be the basis of getting or hiring you as a lawyer, maybe they will think twice before getting your services.

Ipapa tulfo nalang.

isa kang abobogago ChelDiokno

Meron pa bang hindi nakakaalam na kapag nagkakaso ka, abugado ang kailangan mo?

So ChelDiokno kasalanan ng pangulo yan. Unang una hindi ang pangulo ang nag demanda sa kanya kundi yung mga taong binakbakan niya sa kanyang mapanirang post.

Don't call Diokno. He'll likely lose your case. This lawyer is a joke.

Hahahahahaha tama kayo Chel Diokno pero hindi po kayo yun...

Namention lang ni digong. Pasikat agad ang drama ni ngipin. Di ka parin mananalo oi.

F.. U DIOKNO, YOU ARE AN ENEMY OF THE STATE

Nope! Not gonna ask help from him.
