The Supreme Court reiterated that using online chat logs and videos as evidence does not violate the right to privacy if they are used to determine if a crime has been committed.
The Court upheld the conviction of a man for qualified trafficking in persons under Republic Act No. 9208 or the Anti-Trafficking of Persons Act of 2003, finding that the videos and recordings of the chat logs of his conversations with an undercover agent can be admitted as evidence.
The Court rejected the accused’s arguments that they were inadmissible for violating his privacy rights. Republic Act No. 10173, or the Data Privacy Act of 2012, allows the processing of sensitive personal information to determine a person’s criminal liability and to protect the rights and interests of persons in court proceedings.
As the chat logs and videos were submitted as evidence to assess his criminal liability for qualified trafficking, his right to privacy was not violated.
The Court emphasized that the videos and chat logs were presented as evidence to show the accused’s method of reaching out to foreigners through Skype or Facebook and offering minors for sexual exploitation.
The Decision is from the Supreme Court’s Second Division, written by Associate Justice Mario V. Lopez.
