Facebook told me – my posting Sotto anti-RH speech violates FB “community standards”

I am very much disturbed about Facebook. When I opened my FB page moments ago, a notice to me popped out that FB had received reports that a certain post I made on FB violated FB community standards.

And I was asked to review this particular post.

It turned out to be Part 1 of Senator Vicente Sotto III turno en contra speech which I had pasted verbatim on my Facebook page from the Senate website. (Later, I posted the same on this blog. )

I am being flagged by FB for posting a senator’s speech?

Is it possible someone claimed this public speech is protected by COPYRIGHT?

I don’t believe this. Someone reported me to FB because I posted a senator’s speech. I want to know what community standards I violated.

So if my personal FB page goes down again, you will know why.

BECAUSE I POSTED PART I OF SENATOR VICENTE SOTTO III’s TURNO EN CONTRA SPEECH on FAcebook.

Here’s a partial screen cap of the FB notice  I received just minutes ago.

I told my hubby Alan about it. He said he had received the same notice:

  1. Atty. Villacorta passed the bar exam by simple stroke of circumstances or by means of LUCK. His reasoning of plagiarism was absolutely an autistic eat bulaga mentality. Only in the Philippines where you could found a cinematic privileged speech in the person of SINator Sotto. Filipino artists entered politics because of money to be corrupted and not as they said to be of service of men.

    • Pls don’t use the word “atusitic”. It insults those who truly are.

      Actually, Sen. Sotto won because he was nationally known as a comedian but he proejcted himself as the relative of a senator who pushed a law for press freedom.

      • Hi Raïssa,

        Just tonight, I watched a documentary video on ABC (Aus gov’t news channel)(http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/stories/2012/08/23/3574441.htm#)

        In A Nutshell
        It featured on the subject of Autism. A story of two mothers (from different parts of the globe) who have autistic sons… (to get to the point) – they was able to restore some normalcy to their son’s sickness (e.g. eliminate PPA, pro biotics, diets).

        The Autism Enigma By PBS Updated August 27, 2012 20:36:00

        The film features the stories of two mothers with autistic sons. One, a Somali immigrant called Adar, has been working with scientists who are exploring why autism is more prevalent in her immigrant community. The other is Ellen Bolte, from Chicago, who began her own investigation to see if she could help her son who’d been diagnosed with autism. Using home videos she shares the story of her search for answers and the treatment she believes has given her son an opportunity to learn language, play and become more socially interactive.

        Follow up on this link, they would release the video on this iView in the next few days.
        – http://www.abc.net.au/iview/#/series/four%20corners

        I couldn’t find the same video documentary at YouTube.

        The documentary video was also featured in these websites for your info.

        – http://cogentbenger.com/autism/

        – On this link on “Are genetics or environmental factors the primary cause of autism?”, someone commented on Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride. Does the name sounds familiar?

        http://philspicks.wordpress.com/tag/the-autism-enigma/

        I hope this helps. :smile:

        • erra…

          ‘… they was were able to restore some normalcy to their son’s sickness’.

          additional read;

          So how does proprionic acid, or PPA, come into the picture?

          Well, when we eat we feed these bacteria. And a certain sub-population of bacteria in the gut, including the ones that have been found in patients with regressive autism, produces a fermentation or waste product, a seemingly simple series of molecules called short chain fatty acids. This is akin to when you put sugar on yeast you get alcohol. When you put carbs or sugars on these particular bacteria they produce a compound that, in some ways is like alcohol, because it’s a small molecule, it can easily go through the blood stream and get to the brain. But it’s also slightly different. And this compound called proprionic acid, for such a simple molecule, when we looked more and more into the literature, we were amazed at the kind of things that it did in terms of cell development and metabolism, cell-cell interaction, brain development, and to brain fat metabolism. PPA is one of a panel of short chain fatty acids that are produced by gut bacteria when they ferment carbohydrates from our diet. They make proprionic acid, PPA, they also make butyric acid and they also make acetic acid. But we’re interested in PPA because it seemed to have most of the effects that seem to relate to autism.

    • Yea…am sure it was just a slip.. since his name is “pinoy autistic”….
      But really..he could not call him a idiot..cause that would be an “insult to idiots” also… not so?
      He He He

  2. this is funny isn’t it ms. raissa?
    the moral lesson is clear, you may plagiarize a blogger’s work but never copy/paste a senator’s.

  3. Sabi ni atty vllacorta : “Even our image was copied from God. We are all plagiarists.” Sa tingin ko po wala sa context ng “plagiarism” ang pangungusap na ito. If god created man accdg to his image, malinaw po na hindi nangopya ang panginoon ng gawa ng iba. To ascribe plagiarism to this biblical event is beyond comprehension.

    • Villacorta as a lawyer is a shame to qoute the Bible without understanding what it really meant. It meant God created us in His own own image and likeness. We did not copy God. Did God make man looking like Him? We are taught He is s Spirit, a Word, and He has no form that we are also taught not to make an image of Him. Therefore, to know that Likeness and Image the we are created from must be found in what He uses as words for us to be like Him and those are Righteousness and Justice with which Sotto and Villacorta may not have been formed in that manner.

    • This is again a very classical logical error from the Soto camp: switching the meaning of a word in the same argument. I copied from Webster:
      copy
      1
      : to make a copy or duplicate of
      2
      : to model oneself on

      In the plagiarism discussion we used definition 1, the bible used definition 2

  5. Facebook should be objective, investigative and impartial otherwise FB should be FLAGGED Down!! What community standard have you violated Raissa to be flagged down??Oh…none but you have given us the opportunity to read the “plagiarized” speech and compare it with Sarah Pope’s blog.

    The dirty “PLAGIARIST” and cohorts deserved not only to be flagged down but to be nailed!! And Villacorta says its the fault of Sotto’s staff. whewwwww…nagpalusot pa. The best that Sotto can do is apologize to Sarah Pope at the same time make a public apology to social media followers and the people for PLAGIARIZING!! If he wants to be an anti-RH bill champion, he should do his “homework” at please huwag na ibato ang kasalanan sa staff!!

    And the Plagiarists “Sotto and Staff” should be humble and be guided of the verse in 1 Peter 5:5-6:
    “All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another because, ‘God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble’.
    Humble yourselves, therefore under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time.”

        • WOW!

          CPMers, bayanihan at work.

          This could be a deterrence to would be pesters at RR’s web blog.
          It would be good if similar pesters are put in one page, so that the CPM are advised.

          One suggestion lang ginang Raïssa, as a condition of your blog Comments Policy feature.
          Those who would be ‘posting sub-literate comments and curses which do not contribute anything to the discussion.’, threats or ill-will to you would be exposed, such as this.

          Another unsolicited advice to my valued fellow CPMers, to avoid legal implications or law breaches, <b<avoid displaying full names (just initials), company names (just initials)or full phone numbers (first 3 or last 3 nos.) until confirmed. RR CAN REFER PESTERS’ THREATS & DETAILS to the law enforcement authorities if they are violent in nature.

          Ginang Raïssa, you may delete or edit this comment as you wish. It might telegraph, and be misconstrued for something else.

          THANK YOU very much Raïssa.

          A Light attracts all forms and kinds of wanderers. One can’t choose which ones to welcome. A pester may be crying for help.

        • the policy is…must contribute to the discussion. “curses” or “sub-illiterate comments” must fall under “must contribute to the discussion”…meaning bulls-eye relevancy or right on target AND NOT OUT OF THE BLUE! or pure nonsense.

        • The information posted in 23.1 is in public domain. That information is available freely to anybody – it is just a matter of knowing where to look. Also, the information is just a statement of facts – nothing is being alleged.

        • RD Corp is owned by Rudy and Dolores Rivera of GenSan, self made billionaires from commercial fishing.

    • must be coming from the bowels of the earth…”RD” corporation could mean “Red Devil”…corporation…down under…Davao area…maybe an ugly RAT grad of WanBol Univ….PhD major in Curses & Sub-illiterate languages…trying into this CHAT ROOM…wrong!

  8. just forget sotto.He is nothing compare to you. you are are a genuis writer and i like your blog everyday i check your blog.

  9. Unfortunately, you might need to get use to this Raissa. Facebook is probably just responding to the vicious anti-RH champions. The repressive mode is consistent for over a decade now but they can’t change the inevitable. Thanks for doing your part in exposing their deceitfulness.

  10. Is it possible that it came from hackers and not really from FB? I have been receiving notices before and the first thing I check is the email addy of the sender and I noticed that the email addy are misspelled or with some characters thus they were able to open an account to send bogus notices and warnings.

    • No. My hubby Alan, who is very internet savvy, got the same notice for the same Sotto speech.

      I’m also very careful about opening attachments.

      And remember that Architect Neill Villanueva who wished it was PNoy who had died? since he had friended me on Facebook, I asked him why he said that and I asked him to publicly apologize for that remark of wishign someone dead.

      Two women who claimed to know him started posting curses against me on my Facebook wall. One of them who claimed to be his sister told me she wished I had died in the Maguindanao massacre.

      • If it is legit, a real person at FB will visit your wall and I am sure they will leave you alone once they check it out.

        I suspect corrupt politicians have their own paid hacks and FB operatives using multiple accounts to harass people that exposes the rottenness of their clients.

      • @raissa

        Arch. Neil Villanueva – – wished it was PNoy who had died instead of Sec. Robredo.

        Arch. Neil Villanueva’s sister – – wished that you died in Maguindanao massacre.

        How about the wishes of their father – Mr. Villanueva? their mother – Mrs. Villanueva and other relatives?

        THESE ARE THE FAMILY OF ____________________ (I cannot think of a word that can describe them).

      Brendan Joseph Petroff
      Maliciously “flagging” posts.

      I’m a member of a FB group that regularly discusses religious and political issues relating to a minority faith. The group is geared toward adults and we try to discuss serious issues in a serious manner. Recently, a thread on our group vanished without a trace. The originator of the thread says she didn’t delete it, and the admins insist that they didn’t either. We believe that some person on the group maliciously flagged the post to cause Facebook to delete it. How can we go about confirming if this was the case?

      you can’t, and FB won’t tell you. You should (if not already) make the group “closed” and I would suspect that you should be able to tell over time by the tone of someone’s posts, that they may not share your views. If that is the case, the person should be removed and banned from your group. You should be able to trust those in your group and especially the admins.

  12. So “Sereno-bashing iis in full gear.” It is to be expected that, that sucking sound is coming from the usual suspects: The bellyaching malcontents who feed upon the most outrageous conspiracy theories, all in an orgy of anger and hate, celebrating ignorance even before the new lady CJ has even taken her oath. Freedom of speech is no excuse for the lack of decency! Simple civility is not difficult to practice….basic respect for the Office of the President and for the individual presently occupying it is the decent thing to do……after all a good majority among us voted for him and his promise of a better government. And that is what we are receiving, not the least of which is harnessing the talent, the integrity and the conscience of Ms Maria Lourdes Sereno as our new Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. The future has just been made brighter.

    • expect more of it in the coming days. sila pa. simply put, hindi sila maka-move on.

      on the lighter side, i had a good laugh on the twitter jokes hashtag #CJPSiSereno. A lot were outrageously funny. It might backlash to her though.

      …
      “The judiciary must regain the trust of our people, so that Congress can entrust to it the funds to make the delivery of justice efficient and their families secure. I hope to regain that trust by presenting myself as a leader worthy of trust, and my work and my life as proof that the people’s trust will not be misplaced. I am a servant of the public, and if asked to lead the judiciary, I would also be a steward of public treasures and of the lives of the men and women who made service in the judiciary their career. It would be my duty to succeed.

      “To demonstrate that we in the judiciary have no skeletons to hide, if appointed, I will disclose to the public our case disposal rate; official reports on our budget and COA’s audit of our expenditures; the state of our various funds, including support funds from the donor community; and I will in consultation with the community, set key result areas with milestone dates by which we will measure our performance.

      “I present 18 years of possibilities, of being able to conduct a deep search for the best and the brightest in our land, who are to be set apart as a generation of judges who will commit themselves to lives of uprightness and excellence. I am willing—through how I have lived and how I will live—by God’s grace, to be the first to be daily tested if I meet the highest standards of integrity and credibility. I am willing to be measured by the degree of sacrifice I make, by what I am willing to give up in order that a vision of a judiciary that is truly noble, upright, independent, learned and excellent in every way can become a reality.”
      – Chief Justice Maria Lourdes P. A. Sereno

      Makati Shangri-la on July 30, 2010. “After P-Noy winked at me, I felt she instantly won the President’s nod. True enough, a few days later, the Palace announced her appointment as P-Noy’s first appointee to the Supreme Court.” – Artemio V. Panganiban

  13. I have no Facebook account and will never join them for security reasons against possibly getting involved in ID theft. We should be aware of and protective of our privacy as ID theft is getting rampant. Even with email accounts, some cyber criminals have tried to plow their criminal activity there. Yesterday I got targeted by them by sending fictitious email address of a past acquaintance who pretends to seek my help after being mugged in Spain and no money to settle Hotel bill ! I know for a fact that criminals pretend to know us by using Facebook postings to lure us into believing them ! The web have lot of options (other websites) where we could share/post our views and has better security features. Facebook is only good for certain function when one is seeking for wide following from across the world with fast response, but it comes at a price ! So Buyer beware !

    • Thanks Raissa, that was a funny link and shows how desperate and how low Manila Times will stoop to publish trash. Oh well, at least CJ Sereno is in good company, PNoy also got a low grade on psychological evaluations according to a low grade senator. PNoy however forgave the idiot, moved on, and never looked back. CJ Sereno’s case is different, without knowing the “medical professionals”, hiding behind “doctor – patient confidentiality”, where is the validity of the article? Still I hope she finds it in her heart to forgive them and just move on, uphold her oath, and have a positive impact on the whole judicial system. The other candidates scores were not mentioned so we will never know who was “top of the class”. I would like to see a psychological evaluation of Thief Justice Corona but doubt one exist. Again, the Manila Times did a great disservice to their paper, and another reason not to depend upon their paper for accurate news.

      • How about discussing many many elected officials with GRADE OF ZERO…0 ! ?

        By many many voters also with GRADE OF ZERO…0 ! ?

        Court room CROSS-EXAMINATION by defense counsel: Q. How do you know that the person is insance when you are not a doctor or a psychiatrist?

        Witness Answ: Sir, I am not a doctor or psychiatrist. You are right. I only worked for 20 years at a MENTAL HOSPITAL attending and taking good care of insane people!

        Counsel: No more questions!

    • I think there is something positive to be said about people with abnormal minds.

      PNoy is also criticized for having an alleged mental deficiency.

      If people with mental deficiencies are proved to perform better in government service than fully sane people, then by all means let us have more disturbed people.

      If fully sane people have ruled, now and in the past, why are we in such a mess? Because sane people generally adapt and accept the status quo. They are not aware that they are living in a mental institution called the Philippines.

      It is the maladjusted who trigger change. They are the ones who do not accept things as they are. They are the ones with vision.

      • I read “The Clowns of God” by a good author who write mostly on Vatican tales, etc. Children born with defects where Jesus awaits them at His throne to enjoy with them. Nice book. But So Tooh is not one of these precious clowns.

        Many of these children are in fact gifted in their own way. We are shocked to know what is the gift! Music, Math, Memory, Science, name it, many of them have it.

        In short, we or anyone cannot keep on deriding others with any defects. Am sure, there are many also in Congress and other gov’t offices who have it. So, what’s new? No one is perfect.

        this ends….love one another as God loves us!

    • Excerpt from the Manila Times article:

      “In a phone interview, Mejia said that he could only discuss the grading system of the psychiatric and psychological evaluations done on the candidates.

      He said that a Grade of 1 is considered as Excellent, a Grade of 2 is Very Satisfactory, a Grade of 3 is Satisfactory, a Grade of 4 is Not Satisfactory and a Grade of 5 is Very Unsatisfactory.”

      —-

      I wonder what sort of psychiatric and psycholigical tests were used? And what exactly does that rating scale mean? excllent on what? Very unsatisfactory on what?

      Is that a personality rating? How do you rate a personality as excellent?

      Is that a measure of mental health? What is their definition of mental health? What indicators did they look at? Is that current mental state at the time of assessment?

      Is that a mental ability rating? In that case, an IQ score would have been a more useful indicator.

      Or is that an overall score/ assessment of all or perhaps more than the above? In that case then, I go back to the question, what do the rating scales even mean? Excellent for the job? Very unsatisfactory for the job? How can a psychology/psychiatric test make that kind of conclusion?

      Even in the corporate world where psych tests are routinely used to assess candidate’s for a job, the test results/evaluation really only cover whatever personality constructs/ indicators have been assessed, there is no overall assessment on the candidate’s acceptability for the job on the basis of the test alone, only a profile of the petson based on personality factors considered essential for the job. And they’re not even all the same for all jobs.

      The recruitment person will usually give an overall recommendation based on tests, interviews and other screening procedures employed, which basically falls into either of just two, Recommended and Not Recommended. Then it is the person actually hiring, i.e. usually the prospective boss, who then makes the final assessment of the candidate’s acceptability for the job; and for purposes of ranking candidates, may rate them on a similar scale from excellent to not satisfactory.

      • Sorry, but I forgot to mention that the candidate’s qualifications, work experience and track record are part of the basis for evaluating his//her suitability for the job, right from the very start of the screening process.

        • Mejia seems to be confused with a “1 to 5” grading scale used in some universities. Seems to me he needs to back off while he has a chance or perhaps he has already performed the “open mouth, insert foot” scenario and will eventually end up like Sotto who can not apologize for his arrogance. Sorry, arrogance implies some form of intelligence. An idiot is an idiot is an idiot.

        • At many times, such grading cannot always be acceptable. How about Albert Einstein? He was a drop out. Nothing to reveal to examiners. Who was he then? The psychiatrists could have sent him to the mental asylum if they heard Quantum Leap theory from him! Or the Curve Theory is the shortest path to a point! Has these doctors examined the members of the JBC first of all? Not yet! Time to do so!

      • “He said that a Grade of 1 is considered as Excellent, a Grade of 2 is Very Satisfactory, a Grade of 3 is Satisfactory, a Grade of 4 is Not Satisfactory and a Grade of 5 is Very Unsatisfactory.” This statement for a psych test is already suspect. I’m a psych major and I have never encountered this scale in any of the tests we studied and administered, even aptitude tests. And what tests were administered? Each test has a specific trait being measured. They did not even mention this in the article. And most managerial posts already do away with testing because the track record and experience of the person already speak about his or her qualifications. This is just absurd.

    • They should conduct the same psychiatric or psychology test for would-be members of the Commission of Appointments.

      The above-link was a good read. As one JBC confidant was quoted, ‘it is only one of the factors’, of several?
