Zaldivar v Gonzales; G.R. No.

80578; 07 Oct 1988; 166 SCRA 316
Published on 15 September 2017 — in Legal Chyme — by Claudine

FACTS:
Petitioner Zaldivar
moved for Special
Prosecutor
Gonzales to be
cited in contempt
for defying the
Supreme Court’s
cease and desist
orders and for
issuing
contemptuous
statements to the
media.

ISSUE(S):
Whether or not Gonzales is guilty of contempt.

HELD:
YES. Statements made by respondent Gonzales to the media
were contemptuous as they imply members of the Supreme
Court acted on a manner not be tting the o cers of the highest
court of the country. Respondent is entitled to the
constitutional guarantee of free speech. What Gonzales seems
unaware of is that the freedom of speech and of expression,
like all constitutional freedoms, is not absolute and that
freedom of expression needs on occasion to be adjusted to and
accommodated with the requirements of equally important
public interests.
