These are just my thoughts on a news article from Rappler.com about Sen. Tito Sotto III's privilege speech defending himself about his misattribution on parts of his RH bill speech last August 14, 2012. If plagiarism is okay in the Philippines, then why is this being taught in High School and Colleges as unethical and as an academic dishonesty? Why craft a bill to regulate blogging/the bloggers?

If you think you are being cyber-bullied, then why not craft a bill about cyber-bullying?

It shouldn't excuse or exempt us from following the ethics and rules of plagiarism
