In a TV interview, a spokesperson from the Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility said the proposed legislation is unnecessary because Philippine libel law already addresses the issues raised by the senator. 
Kwenye mahojiano ya televisheni, msemaji kutoka Kituo cha Uhuru na Wajibu wa Vyombo vya Habari alisema sheria hiyo haina ulazima kwa sabbau sheria ya uhuru Ufilipino tayari inashughulikia masuala yanayoibuliwa na seneta.
