The Supreme Court (SC) has affirmed its ruling last February upholding the constitutionality of key provisions in the controversial Republic Act No. 10175 or Cybercrime Prevention Act.
Justices voted in summer session in Baguio City yesterday to deny the motions for reconsideration filed by several petitioners in the case – mostly media, legal and academic groups – on the high court’s decision dismissing the constitutional questions raised on key provisions of RA 10175.
“The Court denied all the motions for reconsideration filed against the decision dated Feb. 18, 2014,” the high court’s public information office said in a statement.
Five magistrates have maintained their dissent to the majority ruling: Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno, Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio and Associate Justices Arturo Brion, Jose Mendoza and Marvic Leonen. –The Philippine Star
