The #SupremeCourtPH has clarified that crimes, regardless of which law punishes them, are generally 𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘢 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘦—meaning, proof of criminal intent is required before conviction can be secured. Moreover, in the crime of simulation of birth, a person cannot be separately convicted under two laws for the same act of falsely registering a child’s birth.

In a Decision written by SC Associate Justice Alfredo Benjamin S. Caguioa, the SC 𝘌𝘯 𝘉𝘢𝘯𝘤 acquitted Benito A. Somo of simulation of birth under Article 347 of the 𝘙𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘗𝘦𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘰𝘥𝘦 (RPC) and Section 21(b) of Republic Act No. (RA) 8552, or the 𝘋𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘈𝘥𝘰𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘈𝘤𝘵 𝘰𝘧 1998.

Simulation of birth involves falsely registering a child as the biological child of someone who is not the child’s actual parent, causing the child to lose their true identity and status.

Somo was charged with registering a second birth certificate for his grandson, naming himself and his wife as the child’s parents.

The child’s biological father, who used two different names, had earlier authorized the arrangement in writing to avoid confusion over his son’s identity. The second birth certificate was used for the child’s school enrollment and passport.

The trial court and the Court of Appeals both found Somo guilty of two separate crimes under the RPC and RA 8552 but the SC explained that Article 347 of the RPC and Section 21 (b) of RA 8552 punish the same crime.

While the RPC penalizes simulation of birth, it does not define the offense or specify how it is committed.  RA 8552 later clarified the offense by defining simulation of birth as tampering with a child’s birth record in the civil registry.

The SC held that RA 8552 did not create a separate crime but merely clarified an offense already punishable under the RPC. A person cannot be prosecuted or punished twice for the same offense.

In Somo’s case, both charges arose from the same birth certificate, false registration, and claim of parentage. 

The SC aso held that while simulating birth is inherently wrong because it affect's a child's legal identity, family relationships, and constitutional rights, merely registering a false birth certificate is not enough to establish criminal liability. The prosecution must also prove that the accused intended to cause the child to lose their true identity and status.

In this case, the SC found that although the false registration was established, the prosecution failed to prove criminal intent.

The SC noted that the child’s original birth certificate naming his biological parents remained intact.

The child’s biological father had also authorized the arrangement, while Somo later filed a petition for adoption and correction of the birth record.

The #SupremeCourtPH (SC) has clarified the remedies available to borrowers whose properties have been sold through extrajudicial foreclosure. Borrowers may challenge the issuance of a writ of possession or the validity of the foreclosure, but these remedies, including an appeal, do not automatically prevent the purchaser from taking possession of the property.

In a Decision written by Associate Justice Maria Filomena D. Singh, the SC’s Third Division denied the petition filed by spouses Anthony and Ma. Fatima An and upheld the issuance of a writ of possession in favor of Philippine National Bank (PNB).

The spouses took out a PHP 2 million loan and used their property as collateral. When they failed to pay the loan, PNB foreclosed on the mortgage and sold the property at a public auction

PNB was the highest bidder and became the property’s owner. When the spouses refused to leave the property, PNB asked the Regional Trial Court (RTC) to issue a writ of possession.

The spouses asserted they regularly made their loan payments and had not been notified of the foreclosure sale. They attempted to redeem the property, but PNB refused, arguing that the spouses had waived their right to redeem the property.

The RTC issued a writ of possession in favor of PNB, which the Court of Appeals upheld.

Affirming the Court of Appeals’ ruling, SC reiterated that a buyer of foreclosed property becomes its absolute owner if the property is not redeemed within one year from the registration of the certificate of sale.

Since ownership had already been transferred to PNB, the RTC had a ministerial duty to issue the writ of possession.

The SC then summarized the remedies available to a debtor-mortgagor (the borrower) in an extrajudicial foreclosure and explained their effect on the writ of possession:

1. 𝗗𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗱, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗰𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆: The debtor-mortgagor may file a petition with the same RTC which issued the writ of possession to question the issuance of such writ based on the following grounds:

(a)  The mortgage was not violated, i.e., the debtor-mortgagor did not miss any payments of the loan; or
(b)  The foreclosure sale did not comply with the procedural requirements under Act No. 3135.

2. 𝗔𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗽𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗿, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆:

(a)  Appeal the order granting the issuance of a writ of possession;
(b) File a separate suit for annulment of the mortgage and foreclosure sale.

Applying these rules, the SC held that the RTC had no legal basis to suspend the writ’s implementation while the spouses’ appeal was pending. The mere filing of the appeal did not prevent the writ from being enforced.

[Philippine Supreme Court Public Information Office @SCPh_PIO]

The #SupremeCourtPH En Banc has approved the Revised Rule on the Examination of Child Witnesses (RRECW) on June 17, 2026, introducing new procedures that use technology and child-friendly practices to protect children from further trauma when recounting painful experiences.

Key changes include:
· use of videoconferencing
· recorded depositions
· recorded interviews
· technological tools to help children explain what happened

These technological tools are in addition to existing testimonial aids such as dolls, drawings, and puppets.

Courts may allow children to testify via videoconferencing from outside the courtroom if testifying in person is likely to cause them trauma. The court may also limit whom the child can see and hear, including the accused, while preserving the accused’s constitutional rights, including the right to confront the witness. If the child needs to identify the accused, the accused may briefly turn on the camera, or the child may identify the accused from an image displayed on screen.

If a child cannot testify at trial or via videoconferencing due to a disability, health concerns, or other reasons, the child’s testimony may be taken through an electronically recorded deposition in the presence of the judge and lawyers for both sides. The recording may be used in place of the child’s in-court testimony.
To spare children from having to recount painful experiences and retraumatization, the RRECW encourages and allows a recorded interview with the child by a team of professionals, or its transcript, to be presented as evidence. If the child cannot testify, the recording may be presented instead, provided the interviewer asked neutral, open-ended, age-appropriate, and trauma-informed questions without suggesting answers. If the child testifies at trial, the recording may replace the child’s earlier written statements. All parties must be given a copy and a chance to view the recording, and the interviewer must be present for questioning at trial.

The RRECW applies to children who are victims of crimes, children in conflict with the law, and child witnesses in all criminal, civil, special, and administrative proceedings.

📍Broken Arrow, OK - FBI Charged Couple with producing CSAM Material with 2 Year Old.

After a years long investigation, the FBI has announced the arrest of Dakota and Willie Horn, who are both accused of making child sexual abuse material with a 2-year-old child they were babysitting, then putting it on the dark web.

Investigators say after discovering the CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material) on the dark web in 2022, years of digital analysis eventually helped them identify the child victim and the two suspects in Tulsa County.

The FBI says in the videos, the child’s face was visible but the woman’s was not. But, the woman had a distinct tattoo on her arm and wedding ring on her finger.

In 2023, investigators say they found more videos of the same victim being abused by a man with distinct freckles all over his body.

Documents say in one video the child was being sexually abused by the man, and a woman can be heard saying sexual things and when the child starts crying, the woman slaps the child and says “shut up.”

Investigators say they used the suspects tattoo, ring, a YouTube video playing in the background and other objects in the bedroom to help narrow their search. Investigators say they observed items in the background of the CSAM videos and matched those to pictures on Dakota and Willie’s social media pages.

Investigators say they also used age progression technology and did an open image search on Facebook and Instagram, to identify the child.

The suspects were arrested in Tulsa County at the end of October 2026.

When questioned, Dakota admitted they had babysat the child and admitted she and her ex-husband. Willie Horn, had made the videos and said there was another victim.

When questioned, Willie Horn identified Dakotas tattoos in the videos and other items, but denied knowing anything about child sexual abuse.

Investigators say they arrest and prosecute people all the time who download and possess child sexual abuse material, but they say going after the people who are creating the material is virtual. They say the child sex abuse doesn’t stop after stopping the record button, the victims are re victimized every time someone views the picture or video.

والله ما توقعتها 😂😂

[Philippine Supreme Court Public Information Office @SCPh_PIO]

The #SupremeCourtPH has ruled that men can also be victims of sexual violence, stressing that the law must protect all victims of abuse regardless of gender.

In a Decision written by Senior Associate Justice Marvic M.V.F. Leonen, the SC En Banc found a woman guilty of committing acts of lasciviousness against her 11-year-old nephew.

The incident happened while the child was visiting the home of his father’s relatives. While the child was asleep, the woman woke him up, ordered him to remove his clothes, and made him lie on her bed. She then engaged in sexual intercourse with him. The child did not protest at first because he was curious about what was happening. But after the incident, he felt ashamed and considered ending his life.

Both the Regional Trial Court and the Court of Appeals found the woman guilty of acts of lasciviousness in relation to Section 5(b) of RA 7610, or the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination Act.

Before the SC, the woman argued that the child had consented to the sexual act.

The SC disagreed. It explained that at the time of the incident in 2018, the age of sexual consent was 12 years old. Because the child was only 11, he was deemed legally incapable of giving consent.

The SC clarified, however, that the proper offense is statutory acts of lasciviousness under Article 336 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC), not RA 7610.

The SC explained that RA 7610 applies when a minor appears to consent to sexual activity due to the coercion or influence of an adult. It does not apply when a minor is entirely unaware, unconscious, or unable to give legal consent, as in this case.

The SC also noted that the woman was charged with statutory acts of lasciviousness because, at the time of the offense, her acts did not fall within the legal definition of rape under Article 266-A of the RPC. The law then limited the act of rape to a man inserting his penis into a woman’s vagina, as well as the insertion of a penis or any object into another person’s genital.

However, RA 11648, enacted in 2022, expanded the definition of rape, now stating that it may be committed by any person who has carnal knowledge of another person under the circumstances specified by law.

The SC said the use of the term person in the law instead of specifying the perpetrator’s gender allows for the commission of rape even by women.

The SC noted that despite this amendment, some rulings continue to describe rape as a crime committed by men against women. It traced this view to older, patriarchal rape laws that were originally designed not to protect women from violence, but to punish men for taking women—who were considered the property of their fathers or husbands—through rape.

The SC held that these beliefs about rape are not only sexist, but also exclude male victims who suffer the same trauma. The failure to recognize that they can be victims of rape can also make it harder for them to realize that they were violated.

The woman was sentenced to prison for nine to 16 years and ordered to pay PHP 250,000 in civil indemnity and damages.

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

He walked out of a British prison dressed as a British naval officer in a uniform he'd had secretly tailored behind bars, and then, back in the war, he beat a more powerful enemy warship by shouting a false order his own crew knew to ignore. His name was Joshua Barney, and he was one of the boldest and most ingenious American sailors of the entire Revolution.

Barney was a Baltimore boy with no education and no connections who went to sea young and threw himself into the naval war the instant it came. He fought in action after action, and the sea war being what it was, he was captured more than once. Eventually the British shipped him across the Atlantic and locked him up in the notorious Old Mill Prison in Plymouth, England, a cold, hungry place where captured American sailors were left to rot, far from any hope of exchange.

Barney refused to rot. From inside the prison, he hatched one of the great escapes of the war. He arranged, somehow, to have a British naval officer's uniform secretly made for him by a tailor. He played a long game, even faking an injury to lull the guards and lower their suspicion. And then, with the help of fellow prisoners and a sympathetic guard, he simply put on the uniform of the enemy and walked out the gate as if he belonged there, a British officer going about his business. He slipped out of England entirely, made his way to France, and from there got himself back home to America and straight back into the fight. The British had caged him, and he had strolled out wearing their own coat.

But his masterpiece came on the water, in April 1782, in Delaware Bay. Barney was given command of the Hyder Ally, a converted merchant ship with a modest sixteen guns, and sent to protect American shipping. There he ran into the British sloop-of-war General Monk, a real warship, better armed and more powerful, exactly the kind of fight a ship like the Hyder Ally was supposed to avoid. Barney took it on anyway, and he won it with a trick.

As the two ships closed and maneuvered, Barney shouted a helm order loud enough for the enemy to hear, deliberately commanding his ship to turn one way. But he had worked out a secret arrangement with his helmsman in advance: the man was to do the exact opposite of whatever Barney shouted. The British, hearing the order, anticipated the turn and adjusted to counter it, and instead Barney's ship went the other way entirely. The maneuver caught the General Monk completely wrong-footed, and the Hyder Ally surged into a position to rake her from bow to stern, pouring devastating fire down the length of the enemy deck. In about half an hour, the more powerful British warship was beaten into surrender. It was one of the cleverest and most celebrated American naval victories of the whole war.

Joshua Barney fought on for the rest of his life, serving at sea in later wars and even commanding a stubborn stand on land against the British decades later, earning the respect of friend and enemy alike. But remember him for the Revolution, for the man who would not stay a prisoner and would not lose a fight he was supposed to lose. He escaped an empire's prison in the empire's own uniform, and he conquered a stronger ship with a single shouted lie. Nerve and cunning were his real weapons, and he had more of both than almost anyone afloat.

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

Teddy Roosevelt was born 168 years ago today, and his life reads like someone made it up.

As a kid his asthma was so bad he sometimes had to sleep sitting up in a chair just to breathe. He was too sick for regular school, so he was taught at home and spent his time collecting dead animals. At 9 he opened the "Roosevelt Museum of Natural History" in his bedroom. He taught himself taxidermy and the maid complained about the smell.

His father told him he had the mind but not the body, and that he had to make his body. So he did. Boxing, rowing, hiking, lifting, for years.

He went to Harvard, then wrote his first book at 23, a naval history of the War of 1812 that the Navy actually used. He'd go on to write around 35 books and was known to read a book a day, sometimes more.

On Valentine's Day 1884, his mother died of typhoid and his wife Alice died after giving birth to their daughter. Same day. Same house. In his diary he drew a large X and wrote "The light has gone out of my life."

So he went to the Dakota Badlands and became a cattle rancher. Locals mocked the glasses and the Harvard accent until he knocked out a drunk who pulled two pistols on him in a saloon. Later, when thieves stole his boat, he built another one, chased them downriver in the freezing cold, captured all three, and marched them to the nearest jail. He read Anna Karenina while guarding them.

Back in New York he became police commissioner and would walk the streets at night in disguise to catch cops sleeping or drinking on duty.

In 1898 he quit his job as Assistant Secretary of the Navy to lead the Rough Riders in Cuba and charged up Kettle Hill under fire. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for it in 2001, making him the only president to receive one.

At 42, after McKinley was assassinated, he became the youngest president in American history. Weeks in, he invited Booker T. Washington to dinner at the White House, and much of the South lost its mind over it. He didn't apologize.

On a hunting trip in Mississippi, guides tied a black bear to a tree so he could shoot it. He refused. A cartoon ran, a toy maker made a stuffed bear, and that's why it's called a teddy bear.

He put around 230 million acres of land under federal protection. He went down in a submarine. He became the first president to fly in an airplane. He kept boxing in the White House until a punch left him blind in his left eye. He won the Nobel Peace Prize for ending the Russo-Japanese War.

In 1912 a man shot him in the chest outside a Milwaukee hotel. The bullet went through his steel glasses case and a folded 50 page speech in his coat pocket. He coughed into his hand, saw no blood, decided it hadn't hit his lung, and went on stage anyway. He told the crowd "it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose" and spoke for roughly 90 minutes with a bullet in his chest. Doctors left it in. He carried it the rest of his life.

Two years later, in his mid 50s, he went to map an uncharted river in the Amazon called the River of Doubt. He got an infected leg, a raging fever, and lost about a quarter of his body weight. He nearly died. The river is now named Rio Roosevelt.

When WWI came, all four of his sons went to fight. His youngest, Quentin, a pilot, was shot down and killed over France in 1918. People who knew him said he was never the same.

He died in his sleep a few months later in January 1919, at 60. His son Archie sent a telegram to his brothers: "The old lion is dead." Vice President Thomas Marshall said death had to take him sleeping, because if Roosevelt had been awake there would have been a fight.
