As the latest case involving Walden Bello shows, libel and cyberlibel have been weaponized against journalists, activists, and ordinary citizens. My column today calls for their decriminalization:
Legal Counsel of Walden Bello @LukeEspirituPH : With libel, truth is the defense. The weaponization of libel & cyberlibel laws only victimizes dissent and opposition, and only works for the interests of those in power. There is no place for this in a democracy. #DefendWaldenBello
We call on everyone to support @WaldenBello. Let’s demand the Department of Justice to dismiss the baseless and politically motivated charges vs him. Critical voices, such as that of Walden, nourish democracy. W/o these, the light of truth will not shine for justice. @DOJPH

I recently wrote a letter to the World Bank, IMF, WTO and WFP in response to their joint statement.
My concern: they recycle old ideas, without addressing the core challenges facing the world’s food systems.

If @DuterteSara’s team bothered to do their research, they would know that I have done more to protect our sovereignty than the generals — or even her father.
