Question 20
20. Atty. Diwata, a suspended lawyer, created a professional social media
page and maintained poser accounts which she used across various social
networks. Atty. Diwata, during her livestream, spread fake news that the
Court’s Strategic Plan for Judicial Innovations 2022-2027 failed to
achieve its major target outcomes and had prejudiced the legal profession.
Particularly, Atty. Diwata launched a social media campaign against the
Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability and claimed that
it is akin to an ex post facto law because its provisions are given
retroactive effect. May the Supreme Court discipline Atty. Diwata for
her social media activities? Explain.
