In the resolution, which was approved by Provincial Prosecutor Ludivico Vistal Cutaran and penned by Cebu Prosecutor Reina Carmel Rivas, only Burden’s posts on September 1, 4, and 5 were considered slanderous by nature.
However, according to jurisprudence, the doctrine does not apply when the statement extends to the private life of the public figure. Rivas ruled that Burden’s post on Garcia’s sex life had nothing to do with her being governor. “There is, however, no ground to charge respondent for the nine other posts she made over Facebook,” Rivas added.Prosecution recommended a bail of P48,000 for each count of cyberlibel but the information has yet to be filed in court.
