NARVACAN, Ilocos Sur, Philippines — A court hearing cyber libel complaints in Abra and Ilocos provinces wants two alleged “trolls” of a well-known influential politician caught to answer a defamation complaint of a topnotch lady lawyer. Cordero, who placed 11th in the 1971 bar examinations after graduating at the University of the Philippines College of Law, fumed. Another post, Cordero claimed, about an incident with a security guard at a popular supermarket in Narvacan town also imputed that she was “bad”. The National Bureau of Investigation investigated the complaint, Cordero said, prompting the Ilocos Sur provincial prosecutor’s office to file the case that led to the warrant of arrest issued by Judge Ragonjan on January 7 against the trolls. RA 10175 signed in 2012 penalizes cybersquatting , cybersex, child pornography, identity theft, illegal access to data and libel.
