Even if he did not write it himself, he tried to pass the speech off as his own. Had the plagarism issue not come up, would he have admitted that the words did not come from him? But since the blogger called them out, he totally puts the blame on his ghostwriters. Shows how much balls he's got --- zilch!
Nakakahiya! This is not asking forgiveness but rather plain Arrogance! When you're asking sorry, you should be modest enough to admit what you did, this is in no way close to that.... People like him make the Filipinos look bad! Shameless Senator equates to shameless staff I guess!
Korek, kung makaspeech wagas. E di naman nya opinyon yun kundi ng staff nya at mga bloggers sa US. Kelangan talaga pagawa ng speech sa iba para magandang pakinggan? Buti pa si Lapid hindi trying hard. Hahaha
eh hindi din naman original nung Sarah yun noh, it was also an excerpt fm the book by Dr Campbell-Mcbride, pare-pareho lang silang nangopya! I guess, ang magnanakaw ay galit sa kapwa magnanakaw. OA lang yang Sarah na yan.
Hi Anonymous3:25! I don't think Sarah lifted from Dr.Mcbride's book or research. Yes the content may have been from the doctor, but the words used to profound were hers'. Otherwise she could have added "quote-unquote" in those statements. Any writer whether a blogger a columnist or even a novelist knows that! Which leads us to another point as well, Sotto thinks he actually lifted something that he 'thinks was lifted from the doctor herself'. It isn't the case!
Anonymous3:25, diosko, alam mo ba pinagsasabi mo? What Sarah the blogger did was CITE McBride as a reference, but she didn't use McBride's words verbatim. She paraphrased McBride and did her own interpretation. This is exactly why the government should invest on education, so that people wouldn't come up with the kind of rubbish that you just wrote. Can't even tell the difference between plagiarism and citation.
parang utang na loob pa nung blogger na ginamit yung blog niya ng walang paalam.hehe..parang galit si atty. sa letter niya. hahaha. sana nagsorry din xa.
aba, nakakahiya naman sa kanila ha! sila na nangopya, parang sila pa ang galit kay sarah! nakakaloka! kung ano-ano pang sinabi, eh tungkol lang naman sa pangongopya ang issue! haaaay!
Ang kapal naman ng mukha. Dapat siguro ipa-disbar na yan for gross negligence at intentional na pag-ignore sa copyright laws. Parang pinapalabas pa niya na fame-whore lang ung blogger at naghahanap ng credit. E totoo naman na ung blogger ang ni-quote at hindi si Dr. Campbell. Hndi niya alam na ung mga bloggers, hindi naman yan nagccopy paste lang noh. Nirereword nila kaya alam nila kung kanila ung statements na ni-quote sa speech. Nkklk! I highly doubt na binasa nga nila ung work ni Dr. Campbell at iba pa.
This guy obviously did not take Public Relations. And Copywriting. And Crisis Management. I cannot believe the kind of people our senators hire. Shame.
the best for the senator is to shut up and vote n lng on the bill. more talk more mistakes. nakakahiya plagiarism .sendor p man din siya. he should be the first to uphold the law on intellectual property rights.
kahit di mismo si tito sotto ang nag-lift ng words dun sa blogger kundi mga staff nya, ganon pa din un. Mismong si tito sotto ang dapat mag-sorry at wag ng magmalinis na ndi nangopya!
As a Senator, the buck stops at him, he shouldn't dont pass it. Command responsibility, alam mo ba yun, Tito Sen? Di ba bilang ikaw ang magbabasa ng speech mo, dapat inaalam mo ang mga detalye ng sasabihin mo. Di naman yan katulad ng idiot board sa tv na nakasanayan nyo na. Hay..
Tama look at Manny Pangilinan he graciously admitted the mistake when he was accused of plagiarism in his graduation speech at Ateneo and apologized for it and even offered to resign from the board of directors of Aateneo...hay naku Tito Sotto just admit it and apologize!
heartrending miserable excuses! Mr. Sotto (he doesn't deserve the designation of being called a senator in the first place) just lost my valuable vote for the next/succeeding electionS!
kung kinopya talaga sa blog ung speech ni titosen, aba'y nakakahiya nga talaga...lalo na inamin ng COS nya cla ang gumawa ng speech at hndi si titosen....wagas kung makapag-speech eh hndi nmn pla sya nag gumawa...
kung hindi naman kinopya at pareho lng ng source ang speech at ang blog...may K din magalit o mejo maging arrogante tong si villacorta lalo na kung una nang nakapagbitiw ng hndi magandang salita ung blogger...
ang magandang gawin dyan, magcompare notes n lng cla para malaman kung kinopya nga or hindi.
Does Sarah know who is Rizal? We do. But maybe that Sarah doesn't. :S Dunno what to feel. A little indifferent. But slightly sad as well about plagiarism ... not too wise of an act ...
ngek , mga comedian, its fun in the philippines, kaya mga senador pinagtatawanan eh, me senador na nagunguna pang tumakas kahit me warrant, me senador na wala ng pamana, malakas pa ang loob mag demanda, me sendaor na nag coup na naboto pa, senador na magaling mag- anak sa ibang babae eh ang genes naman malala pa sa aso, haaaay , so how can one respect the senate????
Actually when it comes to plagiarism issue, I don't see that its tito sen's kasalanan coz its his staff who prepared the talumpati. What Im seeing here is that tito sen's kasalanan is he made some iyak-iyak during his talumpati rh dba? Given the fact that hes not really the one nmn who made the talumpati. So I guess that the plagiarism issue is not his kasalanan, but the fault of his staff.
Now regarding with his patawad letter sent by his COS nmn. I've nvr seen such kahambugan apology ever pa like this. Oh my veggies. . They're so masakit sa ulo. It seems that the writer pa who did them kasalanan. Just a piece of advice for their camp -- "Humility is the susi"
oh my gosh te. sana nagtagalog ka na lang. Nakakaloka yung way of writing mo. Haay! dapat talaga siya ang gumawa ng sarili niyang speech no. Hindi yung iniaasa sa iba. Nakakahiya!
OMG he is giving us a BAD NAME! San ba grduate ang HITAD na to? tayong lahat nagbabayad sa mga sweldo ng mga yan magpakumbaba sila noh, sla bobo eh ang dali dali lang mag isip ng personal na opinion sa mga bagay bagay kung may conviction ka talaga eh, eh kasi nakikisakay lang sila hindi nila talaga gets na babae naman ang apektado sa RH bill eh hindi sila, mamaru silang lahat!!!
Anong kinalaman ng pamilya Rizal dyan at nadamay pa? Lol. If they were able to protect and give shelter to those who are homeless, then fine I'll join team ANTI RH BILL. This is BS.
The Chief of Staff is as low as the Senator. What is he/they thinking? Grabe lang kung attorney ka pa man din at ganito ka magsulat? Can you not raise the bar, pls? tsk tsk
Ms de Villa is merely pointing out that the both quoted a passage from a book. So why do they need to be to singled out. So please, everyone calm down and just give the freaking credit to whoever that credit is due. geez
uhm... yes both of them are saying they quoted from a book but the senator could have paraphrased what sarah wrote. kopyang kopya nya yung sinulat ni sarah sa blog nya when she was paraphrasing the book! so please before telling us to calm down because a senator obviously plagiarized, know the facts! oh, i forgot.. he didnt even write that damn speech he was crying about!!!
Stand corrected, I meant Villacorta...big deal! Why don"t you people take a serving of prunes maybe that will loosen you guys up a bit..geez nyahahahahahahaha!
Kasi naman, maghire na lang ng legit writer para sa mga ganyang speech. Senator pa naman sya, he should know na everything he say will be quoted lalo na maselan ang RH Bill. Achoo.
It is still Sotto's faults, why? kasi it came from his own mouth and deemed as his own opinion or say to the topic. May mga editor nga na per sentence ang pagchecheck sa google just to make sure na di plagiarized ang article, bat di man lang sya nanigurado.
'Alala ko tuloy English subject ko sa unibersidad - tinuruan kami paano i-paraphrase ang ano mang quotes na nais naming ibahagi sa anumang sulatin para iwas plagiarism. And to think, nagtapos lang naman po ako sa probinsya. Ano kaya ang itinuro ng mga prof nila sa kani-kanilang mga pribadong unibersidad? O baka absent sila that time (na itinuro sa klase) o naidlip? Peace.
Si Sotto dapat ang sumulat ng sarili niyang speech. Hindi yung sa staff ipinagawa! Nakakahiya sila. Staff, pinapasweldo... Nangopya! Senador, pinapasweldo din at mas mataas ang posisyon sa staff niya, nagpapagawa ng speech! KALOKA!
Anyone who believes that the senator should be free from blame should remember the humility of MVP when his speech writer was found to have copied from the graduation speeches of Oprah and JK Rowling. MVP resigned as the chairman of the board of Ateneo as a result of this plagiarism act performed by his staff. Although it was not MVP himself who wrote the speech, he took it upon himself to resign. That is what you call DELICADEZA.
same question, is this an authentic letter from villacorta? such atrocious writing! and it is supposed to be an apology letter? no sincerity at all. baka naman staff rin ni villacorta ang sumulat nito. aba eh kung ganun sibakin na ang mga nakaupong iyan at ang staff nalang ang ilagay sa mga posisyon nila.
SE. SOTTO TINAWAG NA MAGNANAKAW PERO NANINDIGAN NA WALANG MASAMA SA PANGONGOPYA NYA. PAIYAK IYAK PA ANG DRAMA NYA AKALA MO GALING SA UTAK AT PUSO NYA ANG MGA PINAGSASABI SA SENADO PERO COPY AND PASTE LANG PALA. YAN BA ANG TURO SA WANBOL UNIVERSITY?
As opposed to Gloria who mastered in a respectable school in the US and look where she is now. Teh, wala sa school or pinag-aralan yan, nasa character.
The least they could do is to apologize. Since they opted to "admit" they lifted words from her blog, just simply say sorry and stop right there. Taking credit for someone else's words/work was embarrassing enough, now this? They've completely gone bonkers!
the senator and his staff should be humble enough to admit their obvious mistake,apologize and move on.simpleng bagay pinapalala nila dahil sa kayabangan.dami pang mas malalang problema ang bansa,yun ang asikasuhin nila.
this is not the issue. the issue here is the plagiarism committed by the senator and his staff. the death of the child is not the primary issue of this article.
I am sad for Tito Sen for losing his child. However, what he said was his opinion of what PROBABLY caused his son's death. Anyhoo, plagiarism in our school can mean expulsion or failing a class. I'm just surprised that in our government it accounts to NOTHING.
He has a point though, who among us read this sarah's whatever's blog? But because it got "quoted" by a popular person, we got to know that her blog exists and that they share the same opinion, that is anti-RH bill, so Sarah whoever can be the bigger man/woman and accept the apology for a better cause or she can insist her right for her ego. In any case I am pro-RH bill so they can all satisfy their bloated egos for all i care
They do not share the same opinion. Sarah is pro-choice po. Sen. Sotto twisted the words of Sarah for his own anti-rh stance. If you quote an article or book, you should have had the decency to properly identify your sources.
Sana man lang ng nagsalita or nagquote si Tito sen ay nagbigay credit to whom credit is due, hindi yung parang sa kanya nanggaling, arogante pa yung staff niya, Like Boss, like Staff!
i agree that the senator did not lift the quote by himself...but as someone who is giving the speech, he should be accountable to what he is saying. ano un, tagabasa lang cya ni Atty. Villacorta?
hay naku, atty. tsk tsk tsk.. the sorry part could have been enough. sa sobrang dami mo pang sinabi mas nalintikan ka pa lalo...si atty naman dapat nag private message na lang muna sya. mas mukha naman tuloy siyang ewan. kesehodang sila ang nag gawa at hindi si tito sen, sa speech nya si tito sen ang nagsalita pa din. di dapat ang sinabi ni tito sen sa speech nya, ay "according to the research of my staff blah blah blah" kase hindi naman pala sya ang gumawa ng mga pinagsasabi nya eh. di ba nga , pag gagawa ng speech na para sa buong bayan bigyan naman ng effort at pag aralan hindi yung emotional part ng presentation ang pinag practisan.
Most of the senators have their secretary who do the speeches but this is an open-secret. Senators never admit this to the public.Due to this incident,Sotto had to admit that it was his secretary who did it in order for him to be guilt-free of plagiarism.
Blatant plagiarism na nga, dinamay pa si Rizal. Why can't Sotto's group own up to the deed, apologize to all the blogs copied and move on. Humility naman diyan. Its stupid to hate when being corrected. OT, ganyan pa talaga magsulat ang isang esq. walang capitalization, et al. hindi formal tingnan. kalerQUI
Hay, mali ang wordings eh... Hindi talaga apologetic.. Masyadong mayabang ang dating. She could've humbled herself and in doing so, baka si sarah pa ang ma-embarrass for all these brouhaha.
rizal???? what's the connection? and for using the phrase "remember rizal..." remember? is sarah a filipino that she knows rizal that well to retain in her mind? kakatawa naman ang Chief of Staff ni Sotto. Lawyer pa sya ng lagay na yan.
Pathetic itong si Sen. Sotto, paiyak iyak pa sa speech na hindi naman pala siya ang sumulat. His granstanding blew up on his face. My God, people of the Philippines wake up! Mamili naman sana tayo ng deserving leaders..
Simple lang naman eh. If Mr. Sotto feels so strongly about the RH Bill, why did he let other people write his speech for him? He should have written down HIS OWN THOUGHTS himself, IN HIS OWN WORDS.
Ito ba ang klase ng senador na pinapasuweldo ng mga taxes natin?
tsk.how arrogant.
ReplyDeleteTama
DeleteEwan ko ba kasi bakit binoto pa yan for Senator?
Tayong mga pinoy dina nadala dala pati senador natin nangungupya din pala ng homework sa iba

ReplyDeleteHay, mali ang wordings eh... Hindi talaga apologetic.. Masyadong mayabang ang dating. She could've humbled herself and in doing so, baka si sarah pa ang ma-embarrass for all these brouhaha.
ReplyDeleterizal???? what's the connection? and for using the phrase "remember rizal..." remember? is sarah a filipino that she knows rizal that well to retain in her mind? kakatawa naman ang Chief of Staff ni Sotto. Lawyer pa sya ng lagay na yan.
ReplyDeleteVery arrogant. Didn't even use a personal account to address the matter. And you call yourself lawyer? TSk.God bless the Philippines.
ReplyDeletePathetic itong si Sen. Sotto, paiyak iyak pa sa speech na hindi naman pala siya ang sumulat. His granstanding blew up on his face. My God, people of the Philippines wake up! Mamili naman sana tayo ng deserving leaders..
ReplyDeleteHe already admitted n kinuha nga speech s blog, so how hard is it to say Sorry? Damage control n lng sana approach nila.
ReplyDeleteSimple lang naman eh. If Mr. Sotto feels so strongly about the RH Bill, why did he let other people write his speech for him? He should have written down HIS OWN THOUGHTS himself, IN HIS OWN WORDS.
ReplyDeleteIto ba ang klase ng senador na pinapasuweldo ng mga taxes natin?
gosh, OK na sana but when I read further, SOBRANG AROGANTE talaga!
ReplyDeleteVery arrogant and insincere.
