An optometrist will be facing a complaint for violating Article 154 of the Revised Penal Code, which prohibits anyone from “unlawful use means of publication and unlawful utterances”. The medical professional will be charged with Republic Act (RA) 10175, or Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, which punishes a person who committed online libel for spreading fake news that a foreign national died in a private hospital in Mandaue City, Cebu due to coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19).
