If found guilty of libelous comments on the Internet, a cyber-libel case could spend someone up to 12 years in prison with no possibility of parole.
Libel committed on Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and other online content was made a more serious crime compared to printed libel because of to the newly approved anti-cybercrimes law or Republic Act 10175.
A statement from the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) on Saturday accused Ordidor, a Filipina caregiver in Yunlin County, of cyber libel for the "wilful posting of nasty and malevolent materials against President Duterte on Facebook intended to cause hatred amidst the global health crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic."
The DOLE statement said they met with the OFW on April 20 at her workplace to "enlighten" her that her actions "amounted to a crime for which she might be prosecuted both in Taiwan and the Philippines."
The agency said that Ordidor is reportedly using several social media accounts such as Lenale Elanel Egot, Mha Lan Dee, Linn Silawan, and Hampas Lupa.
DOLE said the sharing and posting of such videos are punishable under Republic Act No. 10175, the cyber libel law.
