What freedoms are protected regarding speech and assembly?
The state is prohibited from passing any law that abridges the freedom of speech or of expression. This protection extends to the freedom of the press and the right of the people to peaceably assemble. Citizens also have the right to petition the government to seek redress for their various grievances. Based on Article III Section 4 1987 Philippine Constitution, these democratic rights are essential for a free and open society. “SECTION 4. No law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances.” 28-Jan-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
