People : Bongbong vis-a-vis Noynoy

The news or press release below on Senator Bongbong Marcos shows his position and opinion in regard to the unconstitutional provisions of the Cybercrime Law,  particularly on the libel clause and the issue on freedom of expression. The senator says that the libel clause needs to be amended and categorically states that the bill he signed does not include the libel clause. He also favors a free internet and free speech, and says that "it is a fatal mistake to muzzle our voices in this medium". This statement from the good senator has definitely earned him some "pogi points" among the netizens of this country.

This is quite a contrast to the statement of Malacañang Palace : 
Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said that the Aquino administration stands by the law, insisting that there are “responsibilities in cyberspace.” From this statement, we can deduce that President Noynoy is endorsing the Cybercrime Law "hook, line and sinker" despite all the protests and complaints that some provisions are unconstitutional, and threaten free speech. President Noynoy's  position is rather disturbing considering the fact that his parents are the democratic icons of this country.

Reversal of positions?
