Video summary
Attorney Danny Con opens his program by welcoming viewers and addressing a series of legal inquiries that range from cyber liability to family law issues. The first major topic discussed is the nature of cyber libel, which carries heavier penalties than traditional defamation due to its online reach. A viewer named Kevin asks whether he can post bail before or after a case is raffled in court; Attorney Con clarifies that individuals have the right to seek advance bail even prior to the formal hearing, provided they follow the recommended guidelines set by the Department of Justice for specific crimes. He also addresses a confusing question regarding impeachment trials, explaining that such proceedings are political exercises rather than standard judicial cases and do not result in imprisonment; instead, conviction leads only to removal from office and potential disqualification from holding public positions.
The conversation shifts significantly when Alex calls in with concerns about owning a motorcycle registered under his name but intended as a gift for a thirteen-year-old child who is currently driving it without a license. Attorney Con immediately identifies this situation as highly dangerous and legally problematic, noting that since the vehicle cannot be owned by a minor, any donation of such an item to a child is considered void against public morals and safety laws. The lawyer warns Alex that if the child gets into an accident or commits traffic violations, he could face prosecution because his name appears on the title as the registered owner. Furthermore, Con raises serious red flags regarding the donor's identity, noting that the benefactor claims to be a foreigner from America with no familial relation to the child, which suggests potential involvement in human trafficking or other criminal activities involving minors.
In response to these alarming details, Attorney Con strongly advises Alex not to transfer ownership of the motorcycle but instead to contact local authorities and social welfare agencies like DSWD immediately for protection and investigation. He emphasizes that cooperating with law enforcement is crucial because failing to report such suspicious circumstances could implicate Alex as an accessory to crimes against children, which are taken very seriously by international bodies like Interpol. The attorney concludes the segment by urging viewers to remain vigilant about unusual gifts or arrangements involving minors and encourages them to report any irregularities to prevent child abuse and trafficking before it escalates into a full-blown legal crisis for everyone involved.

long hair for a long time, right,
Tita G, so good to see you directly,
so anyway, welcome back to all
those who watch us on YouTube and
Facebook, because this is the
program for you.
now
and will our
partner be lost, our partner
today, lawyer deampanilorney
PG gal hello hello hello mar to all those who are
watching us today on Facebook
and also on YouTube, I hope it's okay
because the spelling of PG for Attorney
PG is P E G e
O but if you have difficulty, it's okay,
PG. Only P and G.
There you go. That's what it's called. Parental
guidance. Or a gelatin heart.
How many?
Or starve to death. Or that's also possible.
Together, how can you become a
starving P, with respect at the end? What
? The honorable.
So, if you want to suggest
what else is possible in PG, please text
us here at Globe first. Palon,
what's pretty gorgeous? Why not? I
just thought of that now. Oh my god, why not? Or
what number is that? Ah, for glob it's 0954310031
and for smart it's 0961770807.
That's it, you can now use Facebook Messenger.
Those are your questions
actually. The only question is, is the respect for
yourself or your husband? Mine.
Oh, aren't you? Don't
you know that when
you have a nickname,
you get insulted when you say it? Yes,
he said it can be replaced. Or are you just
thinking about something because you're being tempted? Hey, respect, respect,
respect. It's okay.
Respect is okay with me. I
have friends who call me that.
Thank you. Oh really? Mm.
I am answering. Oh, I'm so scared of that
. You're welcome. No.
My real surname is A. Ang. Now
my aunt used to have a lover, and her
hair is light. Or did
I say I really don't want the
winner to have a hit wife?
Oh yes. Actually one day
I read that someone got married, the person
he married was named Lim, the first name was
Andy Andy Lim. Is what
I saw not true
or not?
Yes. Oh, Andy is having a
hard time, he's still Andy, NI. Oh, it's
really dark. It's
really dark. He's white,
he's white. That's why I'm saying it's
also dangerous to have surnames,
you choose me over you, is
that a dealbreaker? It would be really cool, wouldn't it
? It's
true that you love it so much, but
my god, if that last name is
really a hit, I really wo
n't let it go. Oh,
my poor children, is that it? Or is it possible that
the paw is still okay,
that paw is okay. Anyway, this is a
little reminder to make
Aunt G happy today. Oh, that's
our first question. Kevin.
Okay. 32 years old from Quezon City. Good
day, attorney. I would like to seek
legal advice regarding a
cyber liability case. Oh, it seems like we have it weekly
or always. Yes. It will disappear.
Because sometimes we are Filipinos too. Oh, chich mema. Yes,
that's true. What is the meme? Can someone just say something? That's
right, he just said that, and it's
happening now that the case was filed with him, and there's a
resolution, and I was told
that it's in Hebes, and it's going to be in court.
I just want to know if
I can still post bail
after the case is raffled and at the same time
file a motion to reduce
bail. If the bail amount is high
, he should think ahead. Yes.
Okay. Now, if
I were to voluntarily surrender, would
I still be imprisoned while
waiting for my bail to be approved?
Or can I be released immediately once
this is processed? Let's break it down a
little. He has so many questions.
And then you know, his mind
is about 10 steps away from Kevin
actually being okay. I thought it was cyber libel
but actually it's about Bill.
Yes.
The right to Baal. Okay. The first
question, but our first question is,
attorney, maybe we should look into
cyber libel first. What is cyber
libel? Okay. Cyber libel is actually
just libel but done online. How is that?
Sample. For example in social media or
anything said, anything that is
libel, so the definition of libel is
that you're written or published
casting, um uh either our words or
writing words that cast, um ah, that's what's in
your reputation, for example, you're being criticized for being ugly, that's why
truth is a defense in libel, so let's be
sure, what if he's really ugly, or what
if someone said you're a liar?
That's it, that's it, or casting. That's true. That's
libelous or maybe that's what you're
selling, because what is that? Or
why is he thinking about bail right away
? Why is this case so serious
? Yeah, actually libel isn't that
serious, but when libel becomes
cyber libel, the
penalty increases. Anything that is cyber. Or so
what does cyber libel mean? Does
this mean that
the bail is based on how
much money you have? Yes. Okay. Cyber
okay usually okay, his first question was
can I post bail? Because
he said, "Oh, he's got hearing
." Yes. Supposedly he has a hearing. That
means it has already been leaked to the
prosecutor. He had
information that
he was already in charge. And that's usually after the
prosecutor raffles the
case in court to find out whose
fault it will go to, or what we call a
fault. Yes, in the courtroom, the courtroom is the one that's
at home on the couch, that's
not what we call it, because it's the
judge who will hear the case, okay,
yes, my first answer to the question is,
can he file bail even before it's
raffled, the answer is yes, because usually
the information of the prosecutor is already
there, let's say that there's a
charge that he's probably guilty of, and this is it, this is it,
this is the crime that he's
probably guilty of. Now the DOJ
has something like that, a table
where you can see how much bail is for
each crime.
Ah, what's that, a package? There's a package for that.
For example, if your crime is a
major arrest, that's the
maximum, there's a fine,
there's a recommended bill, it's called
recommended, what is the cyber label,
is it available?
Oh yes it's very much available okay
so you can bail you can
bail even before it is raffled
advanced bill so because I'll just base
that on what's recommended on
their chart or you go with what you brought I have something
I want to bill this if
you have that bill
just present it to the court wherever you are
maraffle maraffle p we've already got it
okay so advance think about it okay
can the subject of an impeachment trial
charge prosecutors of cyber label let
's repeat it ha so yeah I know that ha it's a
separate okay I didn't understand because
I'm a little bit confused eh. They used to say
mini trial but it's not a mini trial.
So the question is not his question is
can the subject of an impeachment trial
charge prosecutors of cyber libel? The
answer is actually no. Or again and again.
What is the
question if they can,
can they
Yes. No. Normally not. Just a question
. This is a very good question
because I'm confused too. Is this one,
um, is this one, uh, impeachment,
uh, court, like a trial
court? Um although it is uh said it is
termed as an impeachment trial trial it
is not exactly a judicial proceeding. Is it
a political exercise and the
judges there are called judges
but they are not like under the supreme
court that can be said so he is not the
same he is not the same but normally
what they do when they conduct the trial
they sort of follow
whatever the normal trial
the normal trial does but the thing is
this is mostly a political exercise ' is it
because the crimes that are already there
but No he is not a crime eh. No,
he's not either, it's not a crime. So
it's more of if you have violated the
um because there are specific um impeachable
offenses they call ' if
you have committed that and they will determine
that during the trial.
Oh okay. So what this means is that this
position is being discussed. You will be removed
from your position. Yes. He's not the one who's going to be
impeached if there's no one there.
There is no prison in impeachment.
You will actually be removed from your position.
You will be removed from your position. And they can
also impose a perpetual ban on holding
public office. Yes. Now, if it is
proven that this is correct, that is
another court to try if
he has any criminal problems. It seems like
that. Am I right there? Because the
impeachment is just for the position.
Yes or something else. That's different. It's like he's saying, "How can
I surrender?"
He has another question.
If I surrender, will
I still be imprisoned? No. Because as
long as you have as long as you have
bail, the right to bail. Once you have
once you have um bail um what does that
mean is you are free while
your case is being reviewed? So, once you're in jail, you won't be able to
go while the case is still
pending and being heard. Okay. Okay.
Oh, this is Alex from Bulacan.
Hi Alex from Bulacan. Good evening.
M and Attorney PG. Hi, Alex. Hi,
Alex. I think he might still be playing tennis
, maybe practicing. Do
you have a point there? Let's get back to Alex
. Okay. Let's move on to the next question. Let's
go back because we're still practicing.
He's right there. Okay. Hi, Alex. Good
evening.
Hello. Good evening.
Hi Alex. Okay
Alex, what's the problem?
Yes. What can we help you with now?
Ah, about owning a motorcycle or
ownership.
Okay.
Because someone sent me money
to donate to the
child. Minor.
What kind of donation is that?
Someone sent you money as a
donation or gift for a child. Donation
gift for children. Okay. Yes. Then he said
I should put my name on the paper.
Everything is under your name. Ah, it seems
okay. Someone sent you money
to buy a motorbike.
Yes. Ah, he's giving the motorcycle to the
child as a gift. But it should be But since you were young,
when you say young, how young? Yes. Yes, indeed
. Why would he ride a motorcycle when he's still so
young? Yes, indeed. Why
give him a motorbike when he's still young?
How old is this child?
13.
13? The motorcycle can't be ridden yet
. Oh.
Yes, indeed. Anyway, that's why I'll
give you a name because I
assume you're no longer a minor. Is that right? That's
right. What happened, you say?
Then he told me in my stomach that
he would give it to me when the
child was 16.
Who will give the motorcycle to when the child turns 16?
Why did they give it to the child?
The child is using the motorbike.
Yes, sir. Is
he the one driving the motorcycle?
Yes, sir.
Why? He doesn't have a license. Does
he have a license?
Nothing. Why is that? No, how did that
happen? Oh, that's not allowed, Alex. Yes, indeed
.
He's actually not allowed. Yes. If it is a You know
Alex, you are in danger there because
the motorcycle is in your name if
that child gets into an accident
and
he or she gets into an accident.
If he or she has an
accident as the registered
owner
of that motorcycle, you will be the one who will be prosecuted,
especially since he or she is a child and you allowed
him or her to use the motorcycle that is in
your name.
Oh, that's a big problem for you. Now
what should you ask
Attorney PG? Mm.
How will this happen? Um,
should I take the motorbike? Well,
I didn't buy it,
you legally have the right to have
possession of that motorcycle
because it's in your name and it's okay if
you say it's a donation, the
intention is to give it to the child,
right? But that is a void donation because
Um, all donations must not be against
public, moral, safety, against the law.
So
to donate a vehicle, a motorbike that cannot be
owned by a child, that is not a valid
donation. It can be it's a void
donation. It's against public morals.
Who donated? Who
donated? Alex,
he is a foreigner abroad.
foreigners.
You know I'm scared of this. Yes, indeed.
Why is he donating a motorcycle? Why is
he donating a motorcycle to a 13-
year-old child?
I don't know. Or are they somehow
related? Alex said, "Oh my." Oh
my, it looks like
your expertise is needed here. Is
it dangerous first?
That's dangerous, Alex. First of all,
maybe the child is being used.
Yes, indeed. So Alex, knowing what the
arrangement was with the person who was not a
foreigner, why would you give
the foreigner what he made the
child do so that he could be given the luxuries
of a child?
Yes,
he only helps with support and then
he is the one who spends the funds.
Why is he doing that?
Is he a relative?
No, please. Oh, so you just think you,
me, Alex, me, are beautiful, that I,
friend,
I'm not laughing anymore, friend.
Yes, indeed. Alex, you know what it's like
to give a motorcycle to a
minor who is already abroad.
Yes. And how did you recognize that, Alex?
Yes, indeed.
Only online.
Oh.
Oh, Alex,
that's dangerous.
Alex. You're also in danger there if I were
you. Let's show that to the NBI.
Yes, indeed. There are so many bad things that
could happen there. I'm getting
caught a lot, so I don't have a bad idea.
But it's possible, but it's not just the very
nature of the first thing to do is to donate to a
13-year-old child a motor vehicle
that he or she cannot legally
own or drive, because that's dangerous. So at
least on that face value, Alex, take that
motorcycle because that's why it's
named after that. You'll be the one
who gets angry about that too. Now if
that child has an accident or if
he has an accident, you will also be the one who
will be upset because you are the one
named in it. You can't
pull out that foreigner who
gave something because he's not here
in the Philippines. We can't be sure
Alex, if I'm the one, if I'm the one, if
you have any doubts, tell the
authorities, why would you be implicated?
You just thought that foreigners wouldn't be
caught, there are so many who have been caught in
other countries, and 'what about Interpol?
Interpol?
Then the victim, especially if
the crime is child sexual
pornography?' What I'm afraid of is that it's
online. And then I'm telling
you, I'm the one telling you what
I am, so you can be clean
because if you're not, you're an accessory to the
crime. And um, this is actually just
child pornography or something
like that, sexual assault of children is quite
important to Interpol, and then
the penalty is very high. That will be a red
notice. Do you know our
seafarers who are abroad in the US? Are
they stuck on the ship? Mm. Those
on the ship thought that if they didn't
engage in those activities, they wouldn't. Yes.
They thought it was nothing. Others have
n't really engaged in that yet.
Only their children are in the picture.
Yes. But what did the US do? They were rushed,
handcuffed
and
immediately taken for investigation. So if
you think you can't see it or no one
knows, well,
you're wrong. So, Alex,
help the kid. Yes. Do
n't you have a mother? The child is an
attorney, the mother is
in jail, and then those who don't
care about the child.
Or is that DSWD, that's your DWD.
Oh okay.
Yes, because no one is taking care of the child. Who
takes care of him? The
foreigner sends him money.
Then But who is with him at home?
Who is that child studying with? The
foreer is making him cold.
But where does he live?
Parañque. Just
alone
. He was alone in the bakar but
he had troops there. When the mother of
his troops.
Troops?
Yes. Alex.
That topic is very sensitive. This is how you can get
Alex's details, and here we are at the
DSWD
so we can help him because he's a child,
13 years old, he wouldn't know what to
do. Yes.
And you know that.
Yes. Actually there are attached
agencies and DSW dealing specifically
with child trafficking, with child
abuse.
Not our agency, but the one
I can always connect with. Are
you sure those numbers are American or from another
country? From what? He's an American
. He is from America. Okay, go ahead and get
Alex's number so Alex can also
be acquitted just in case,
because Alex is cooperating with us,
right? Alex is doing the right thing.
There is a call to action, an
interagency on child abuse and
trafficking. So um they actually deal
with this kind of thing.
Yes. And then anything if it is considered
minor the Yes. DSWD should
also enter into that whether it is
being neglected or neglected.
Okay, Alex, don't hang up the
phone, the staff will talk to you.
to you
yes
ah barbs okay okay thanks Alex
I have a dog okay
what's that on the motorcycle what should I do if it's being
taken from me
why is it being taken from you if it's in
your name is it fully paid
yes because he wants me to transfer it to
his girlfriend now that it's new to
whom it's being transferred to his new
trustee to
his new trustee I haven't transferred
the ownership. Ah so why is it that
if I were you, if I were you,
get in touch with DSWD first. It's a bit like
why he's transferring you, because
maybe it's different, maybe it's because you feel like
you're doubting what's
happening, Alex, right? Or maybe
he has another one. Yes, of course.
Who is the trustee?
Is that a minor band or is it someone who is the
age of the mother or the
mother of the troop? Maybe that's another thing
. That's why we don't want to be
investigated.
Yes. Yes. Yes. It's better to help
the children. The more that you
help and the less that you participate
will be better for you, Alex. That's it. In
short, if you work with the
right people, because just in case, it's
in his name.
Or no, no, this is the question, that's
your question. Can you be forced to
execute a deed of sale to
someone you don't want? No. Or, but
cooperate because if not,
of course he'll get involved, so what's the point?
Yes. There's a chain, right?
That has a chain. If you think you can't be
traced or something. There is that. So
Alex, talk to our team
.
Okay, sir. Thank you, Alex. Okay. Let's do what's
right, especially for children. Yes, it's true.
Okay.
He coughed.
Yes, indeed.
Okay. Okay, okay.
He is exhausted. He is there. We won't do
the right thing if we think it's right.
And good luck, Alex, in your match tomorrow.
Okay. In tennis. That's different. I don't want
that. Other. Okay. Okay. Okay. Thank you
very much. You don't really know,
attorney. Yes, indeed.
That's so worrying. It's very suspicious
and um I think um that needs to be
investigated. It's very unusual.
There is no reason for a foreigner who
has no relation to a child to a child.
Yes.
To give a gift like that.
Correct. That's a dangerous gift. Yes. And
maybe the uh child asks for it, but why
would you give it? Yes, indeed. What is
what's in it for you?
Exactly. Joe. Joe. That shouldn't be the case
because Joe is American.
Sorry. If that's the case, you know that
when we were kids, we didn't like anything, so you
too. That's why you're in a position where it
hurts inside, all the others,
we can't accept that.
That's just your body. Yes, indeed. Someone is watching.
Anyway, imagine that, right? It seems like
we were called out about the motorbike, but it turns out that the
problem is deeper.
Exactly. That's what we see
here. Anyway, I hope
you enjoyed our program today and we
are very sure that you will join us in
this kind of revealing the
truth and helping others. And
if you notice anything unusual
involving the same facts,
don't hesitate to
report it to the authorities. PSWD
would be best for minus. Yes. Yes,
those kinds of situations are
unfortunately not
uncommon,
especially in my current job.
I read a lot of things like that and it's
really depressing. Okay anyway,
thank you very much. I am
your mayor, Mariao. I'd like to
say hi to Papa Jimmy, Mama Training and
of course Babe Macastro. Welcome back,
Aunt G. Yes. I am your lawyer from
Panilla, Attorney PG. B
