@bnc.ph: PERSONA NON GRATA: DEFENDING COMMUNITY DIGNITY OR SILENCING CRITICS? Can local governments legitimately declare someone persona non grata to defend the dignity of their constituents, or could the move be used to silence criticism? Atty. Vaupetroanji “Vet” Peña, Senior Associate at DivinaLaw, explains that such declarations should reflect the collective sentiment of the community, not the personal grievances of select individuals or public officials. She also stresses that public officials must be able to tolerate criticism and should not use persona non grata resolutions to settle personal scores. So where should the line be drawn between protecting community dignity and respecting freedom of expression? Watch the discussion on #ABOGADO with Atty. Mike Toledo and Atty. Karen Jimeno. #PersonaNonGrata #FreedomOfExpression #ABOGADO #PersonaNonGrata #InternationalLaw #news #phnews #latestnews #bilyonaryonewschannel #bilyonaryo #bnc #fyppage #fyp #fypp #Naia
