Still haunted by something from your past? Or trapped by old, outdated, or downright wrong information about you lingering on the internet? What if you had the power to wipe it all away forever?
Although the right to be forgotten is not yet expressly enshrined in Philippine law, the framework established by the Data Privacy Act demonstrates that its foundations are already in place, as it allows individuals to request the removal of false or outdated information, reflecting the same principle of the right to be forgotten as adopted from the European Union’s GDPR.
The real challenge lies in refining our legal system and our laws for today’s digital world, where harmful or outdated information can stay online forever and affect a person’s reputation. As we live in an era where information never truly disappears, the right to be forgotten is not just desirable, but necessary to safeguard the rights of every individual.

Protection or Pretense? Can a Woman Seek a Permanent Protection Order While Violating a Custody Agreement?
The intersection of family law and protective legislation presents complex and often contentious scenarios. One such dilemma arises when a woman, bound by a court-approved Compromise Agreement that grants the father visitation and parental rights, deliberately conceals the children from him despite his full compliance with the agreement’s terms. Can she, under these circumstances, still seek refuge under the Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act (RA 9262) and obtain a Permanent Protection Order (PPO)? Does the protective intent of the law extend to those who may be acting in bad faith or violating court orders themselves? This situation raises critical questions about the limits of legal protection, the potential misuse of safeguards intended for genuine victims, and the role of the courts in balancing competing rights in the pursuit of justice.

“An examination of these cases reveals that the Court does not reject the idea of loveless marriage as a form of psychological incapacity. In fact, the Court has long acknowledged the marital obligation to observe mutual love between spouses as provided under the Family Code. However, common in all of these cases citing loveless marriage is the fact that the Court never strayed away from the requisites necessary in establishing psychological incapacity: gravity, incurability, and juridical antecedence.
Notwithstanding the Court’s reframing on the interpretation of psychological incapacity, decisions of the Court after Tan-Andal vs. Andal remain steadfast in ensuring that psychological incapacity as a ground for nullifying marriages is rooted in a genuine psychic cause and not on mere refusal or ill will on the part of the supposed incapacitated spouse.”

“ Given the unusual nature of the situation and the differing views expressed by legal experts, this issue continues to raise important questions that deserve careful thought and constitutional reflection.
Whether the Senate’s decision to remand the Articles of Impeachment will eventually be accepted as a practical response to an unprecedented circumstance, or criticized as a step beyond its constitutional role, remains to be seen.
In the midst of this uncertainty, this discussion aims to shed light on the legal issues at hand and to help foster a deeper and more informed public understanding of the impeachment process.”
