PLAGIARISM

Many cases of plagiarism in the Philippines. I will give you 5 cases :

    MANUEL "MANNY" V. PANGILINAN’S SECONDHAND SPIELS:

 1.       The accusation: 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.

     ORANGE AND LEMONS’ BIG HIT:

  2.    The accusation: 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.

      UP COLLEGE OF LAW DEAN ATTY. MARVIC LEONEN’S LACK OF ATTRIBUTION:

 3.        The accusation: 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."

       THE KRIP YUSON SITUATION:

   4.     The accusation: In a blog entry posted on April 6, 2011 sports blogger Jaemark Tordecilla compared veteran writer Krip Yuson’s article on the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) published in Rogue magazine and a GMA News Online article by sportswriter Rey Joble on the late PBA commissioner Rudy Salud. Tordecilla observed, "Almost the whole middle section of Yuson’s article was lifted directly from it (Joble’s article). Whole paragraphs were copied, with very minor changes made."

         THE "IT’S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES" SLOGAN:

   5.    The accusation: By January 2011, the Department of Tourism (DOT) "It’s more fun in the Philippines" campaign had replaced the battered "Pilipinas kay ganda" campaign. But, it wasn’t long before people were also slamming it for ripping off a 1951 Swiss tourism slogan that read, "It's more fun in Switzerland."
