A.M. No. 10-7-17-SC – IN THE MATTER OF THE CHARGES OF PLAGIARISM, ETC.,<br />

AGAINST ASSOCIATE JUSTICE MARIANO C. DEL CASTILLO<br />

Promulgated: October 15, 2010 8<br />

<strong>plagiarism</strong>:<br />

What is black can be called “white” but it cannot turn white by the mere calli<strong>ng</strong>. The unfortunate<br />

ruli<strong>ng</strong> of the majority Decision that no <strong>plagiarism</strong> was committed stems from its failure to disti<strong>ng</strong>uish<br />

between the determination of the objective, factual existence of <strong>plagiarism</strong> in the Vinuya decision[1]<br />

Isabelita C. Vinuya, et al. v. The Honorable Executive Secretary, et al., G.R. No. 1622309, April 28,<br />

2010. [2] and the determination of the liability that results from a findi<strong>ng</strong> of <strong>plagiarism</strong>. Specifically,<br />

it made “malicious intent”, which heretofore had not been relevant to a findi<strong>ng</strong> of <strong>plagiarism</strong>, an<br />

essential element. The majority Decision will thus stand against the overwhelmi<strong>ng</strong> conventions on<br />

what constitutes <strong>plagiarism</strong>. In doi<strong>ng</strong> so, the Decision has created unimaginable problems for<br />

Philippine academia, which will from now on have to find a disciplinary response to <strong>plagiarism</strong><br />

committed by students and researchers on the justification of the majority Decision. It has also<br />

undermined the protection of copyrighted work by maki<strong>ng</strong> available to plagiarists “lack of malicious<br />

intent” as a defense to a charge of violation of copy or economic rights of the copyright owner<br />

committed through lack of attribution.<br />

... no software exists that will automatically type in quotation marks at the beginni<strong>ng</strong> and end of a<br />

passage that was lifted verbatim; these attribution marks must be made with deliberate effort by the<br />

human researcher. Nor can a software program generate the necessary citations without input from<br />

the human researcher. Neither is there a built-in software alarm that sounds every time attribution<br />

marks or citations are deleted. The best guarantee for works of high intellectual integrity is consistent,<br />

ethical practice in the writi<strong>ng</strong> habits of court researchers and judges.<br />

Peremptory norms began to attract greater<br />

scholarly attention with the publication of Alfred<br />

Treaties in International Law.[FN10]<br />

[FN10] For example, in the 1934 Oscar Chinn<br />

Case, Judge Schücki<strong>ng</strong>’s influential dissent stated<br />

that neither an international court nor an arbitral<br />

tribunal should apply a treaty provision in<br />

Supreme Court’s 28 April 2010 Decision in<br />

Vinuya, et al. v. Executive Secretary, G.R.<br />

No. 162230<br />

greater scholarly attention with the publication<br />
