Because the law is important to anyone who wants to engage in Citizen Participation, and even if I know that there may be nothing libelous about weather, I will not abide by the insult that has been laid upon us. We should not live in fear or paranoia because of an antiquated libel law inserted by a senator who make showbiz indecencies the reason for the act of treachery to the people.

The world is not dangerous because of the bad people that are in it , but because of the good people who see evil and do nothing.” In a country with so many corrupt officials, Filipinos need every right and platform to hold their public servants accountable. I’m Sebastian Castro AND THAT is why I stand against the Cyber Crime Law of 2011.
