Cybercrime Law - a good law gone bad

Again this problem with the cybercrime law was courtesy of our Senator of the hour Tito Sotto. I mean libel is no longer a crime in many countries but our beloved Senator inserted it maybe because of the wraith he got from plagiarizing parts of his speeches last month. Maybe he wants to sue people who lambasted his plagiarizing ways. Thats what I conclude.
Only one Senator really read the provisions of the new cyber crime law before signing it. Kudos to Senator Guingona. This is how our Senators work. They sign somthing into law without reading it! Shame on all of us for voting these people in office.
But truthfully Im not that scared with this new law. Why? Because we are in the Philippines. I dont see our government enforcing this law, like the way they cant enforce any of our laws. That is why theres chaos in our street because our leaders cant enforce basic traffic laws. What more a "cyber" law at that!
But I do hope our leaders do remove that idiotic insertion.
