Legal Question in Employment Law in Philippines
Hi Atty,
My question is about libel.. Can we consider a TRUE statement to be a libelous statement?
In other countries they only consider a false statement to be a libelous statement, just like in this video below:

Libel is a general term. If what you meant by libelous statement is oral defamation then that would not be a defense.
