LET US BUILD TOMORROW TODAY AND CLAIM OUR FUTURE NOW..
Sen Noy.. I believe that a leader should run out by his heart not by his power..run by his conscience not by his will..run by his dedication not for any options.I TRULY BELIEVE THAT A PERSON COULD BRING US TO STEP UP IS A PERSON WHO DOES MORE THAN WHAT HE CAN DO BY HIMSELF..
i’ve read article below that noynoy violated RA 8491, whoever is maintaining this site… can you ask noy to comment on this issue…
While administration presidential candidate Gibo Teodoro is being accused of violating Intellectual Property Rights, it is of my humble opinion that his second cousin, co-presidential aspirant Noynoy Aquino may have violated R.A. 8491, otherwise known as the Flag and Heraldic Code of the Philippines.
Since I just had my much delayed midterm exam in Criminal Law, I still have a hang-over of memorizing codals and analyzing jurisprudence, so expect a more serious tone, absent of the glitzy-and-glamory showbiz intonation.
The Flag and Heraldic Code was enacted on February 12, 1998. Its purpose is to give respect and reverence to “the flag, the anthem, and other national symbols which embody the national ideals and traditions and which express the principles of sovereignty and national solidarity.” In this respect, heraldic items including the flag, inter alia, shall be accorded with highest respect.
Noynoy Aquino, in his most recent ad, the same ad where he tries to rap and Baby James appears on the last part, made use of the Philippine flag. While rap music was on, a man waved the flag of the Philippines.
The issue is whether or not the waving of the Philippine flag on Noynoy Aquino’s TV advertisement is violative of R.A. No. 8491.
The law is clear on this matter.
According to section 34 paragraph i of R.A. No. 8491, it is prohibited to “use, display or be part of any advertisement or infomercial.”
It is an elementary rule in statutory construction that when the words and phrases of the statute are clear and unequivocal, their meaning must be determined from the language employed and the statute must be taken to mean exactly what it says. Absoluta sententia expositore non indiget. When the language of the law is clear, no explanation of it is required [Agpalo, Staturtory Construction (2003) p. 127].
The screenshot above, taken from Noynoy Aquino’s political ad campaign clearly shows that the Philippine flag was used therein. The photo above constitutes a prima facie evidence.
Of course, Noynoy Aquino might use the defense of good faith. But then again, the law is clear on this matter. It is explicitly stated in the Republic Act that such is is prohibited. There was no mention that bad faith must be proven first.
It is quite disappointing that a person vying for the highest position in the land does not show respect to heraldic items. The presumption of the law is that when the flag is used in a manner prohibited by the act, it is tantamount to disrespect.
I just wonder that if a person, without pointing to anyone, cannot respect a simple law on flag and heraldic items, how can we expect him or her to respect other laws such as the Constitution and the Bill of Rights?
