Plagiarism
What is plagiarism?
Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work or ideas as your own, with or without their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement. All published and unpublished material, whether in manuscript, printed or electronic form, is covered under this definition. Plagiarism may be intentional or reckless, or unintentional. Under the regulations for examinations, intentional or reckless plagiarism is a disciplinary offence.
First: ORANGE AND LEMONS’ BIG HIT
The Pinoy band has been accused of copying the melody and musical arrangement of an obscure single, "Chandeliers," by 1980s New Wave group, Care, and then using it for their breakout hit, "Pinoy Ako." Their song was used as the theme for Pinoy Big Brother.
As far as we know, the band has never been sued for the alleged offense. The band members have since gone their separate ways. Lead guitarist/vocalist Clem Castro got kicked out of the band. Thus, he started his own band. He’s now identified as the "frontman" of the three-piece indie pop group The Camerawalls signed under his own label, Lilystars Records. The three remaining band members-Mcoy Fundales, JM Del Mundo, and Ace Del Mundo-formed a new band called Kenyo.
Second : ASS REHASHEDOCDECISIONIATE JUSTICE MARIANO DEL CASTILLO’S
In July 2010, Associate Justice Mariano del Castillo was the subject of an exposé done by Newsbreak. They alleged that numerous parts of Del Castillo’s decision on the case involving World War II comfort women were copied from three materials written by legal experts abroad and that the said authors were not properly attributed. According to an ABS-CBNNews.com report, Del Castillo allegedly lifted quotes and footnotes from "A Fiduciary Theory of Jus Cogens" by Ivan Criddle and Evan Fox-Descent (2009) published in the Yale Journal of International Law, "Breaking the Silence on Rape as an International Crime" by Mark Ellis (2006) published in the Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law, and "Enforcing Erga Omnes Obligations in International Law" by Christian Tams (2005).
Though his plagiarism was exposed, Del Castillo was not charged with any crime. He is still one of the associate justices of the Supreme Court
Third : MANUEL "MANNY" V. PANGILINAN’S SECONDHAND SPIELS
In April 2010, businessman Manuel V. Pangilinan tendered his irrevocable resignation as chair of the Ateneo de Manila University (AdMU) board of trustees after it was found that portions of the commencement speeches that he delivered at the school’s graduation rites in March that year were copied from the speeches of celebrities like J.K. Rowling, Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, and Conan O’Brien. To be fair, Pangilinan was not directly at fault. His speechwriters were responsible for the plagiarism.
The AdMU board of trustees initially didn’t want to accept Pangilinan’s resignation. However, they had no choice but to let him go. To this day, everyone’s still wondering who exactly wrote those plagiarized speeches. For his sake, we hope Pangilinan fired those lazy speechwriters.
Fourth : THE "PILIPINAS KAY GANDA" LOGO
In November 2010, barely a week after the Department of Tourism (DOT) unveiled its "Pilipinas kay ganda (Philippines so beautiful)" campaign, people were enraged by its logo. It didn’t help that the slogan had already been slammed by the public. Things just got worse when netizens, like blogger Spanky Hizon Enriquez, pointed out that the logo was similar to the one used in Poland’s tourism campaign. It wasn’t clear who was to blame for the copied logo, as Campaigns and Grey, the advertising agency involved in the project said their role was only "in an advisory capacity." It was implied that perhaps the ideas they suggested were modified (directlyor indirectly) by government officials who wanted to be involved in the so-called creative process. Anyone who has worked for the government knows that many such endeavors often get bogged down by "too many cooks." So, it’s very likely that the ad agency got trapped in the said scenario.
The "Pilipinas kay ganda" campaign was replaced by the "It’s more fun in the Philippines" campaign, which had its own share of controversy.
Fifth : UP COLLEGE OF LAW DEAN ATTY. MARVIC LEONEN’S LACK OF ATTRIBUTION
In December 2010, UP College of Law Dean Atty. Marvic Leonen submitted his resignation letter to UP Diliman Chancellor Sergio Cao after he was accused of plagiarizing parts of an article he wrote for the Journal of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines. A group of lawyers-who called themselves the Philippine Social Justice Foundation (Philjust)-claimed that the article, which was published in 2004, had segments that "used original source material without proper attribution."
Leonen’s students and colleagues lauded him for owning up to his supposedly inadvertent plagiarism. He went on to serve as Dean of UP College of Law until June 2011. In November 2012, Leonen was appointed an associate justice of the Supreme Court, the youngest appointee since 1938. Leonen was then just 49 years old.
