Pinapagresign ni Senator Risa Hontiveros si DOJ Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre dahil sa plotting case daw about sa senadora. Dahil sa sinabing ito ni Hontiveros, napag-alaman tuloy ang pagiging wiretapper ni Hontiveros.
In a Facebook post, Prof. Malou Tiquia said Senator Risa Hontiveros' focusing a camera to a cell phone of an individual, government official or not, and enlarging the screen to see what was being texted, is not a violation of the Anti-wiretapping Law RA 4200, [http://bit.ly/2wY0MW5].
What Risa Hontiveros did is a violation of Republic Act 4200 otherwise known as the anti wiretapping law.
It penalizes any person who records a private communication without the consent of both parties. It also penalizes any person who possesses such a recording or uses the same. It's punishable by six months to six years in prison.
And the recording is inadmissible as evidence in any proceeding. So your proposal to sue The DOJ Secretary might not be supported by evidence.
Ito ba ang dahilan kung bakit binawi ng Senate Minority Bloc ang collective call for Aguirre to resign? "We are recalling the statement of the minority senators on "resign aguirre" call of Sen. Hontiveros. There has been a misunderstanding. We apologize for the mistake. " - Kiko Pangilinan
Sa isang pahayag ni DOJ Secretary Aguirre, sinabi nito na "Text messages are private communications. Any unauthorized intrusion into such exchanges is illegal and betrays the constitution."
Ang tanong na lang dito ay "Are we expecting a case to be file to Sen. Hontiveros by DOJ Sec. Aguirre?" Yan ang malalaman natin sa mga susunod na araw.
Aguirre said he is studying the possibility of filing a case against the senator and the person who took a photo of him while texting during a Senate hearing.
“I am considering all my options open. I could file criminal, civil and administrative cases against all persons responsible,” Aguirre said in a text message.
According to the Justice chief, “Text messages are private communications. Any unauthorized intrusion into such exchanges is illegal and betrays the Constitution.”
