    Police officer Felipe Navarro got into a heated argument with two reporters, Enrique Lingan and Stanley Jalbuena, at a police station. During the argument, Navarro poked his gun in Jalbuena's face. Lingan intervened and challenged Navarro to a fistfight without his gun. Navarro then mauled Lingan, resulting in his death. At trial, Jalbuena presented a voice recording he had made of the argument at the police station as evidence. The court ruled the recording was admissible because the exchange between Navarro and Lingan was not a private conversation and thus not prohibited to record under Philippine law.

    Felipe C
    G.R. No. 121087, August 26, 1999

    Facts:

    Enrique Lingan and Stanley Jalbuena, both radio reporters went to a police station to
    report an incident. During the course, a heated argument arose between police officer
    Felipe Navarro and the two reporters. Navarro then poked his cocked firearm on the
    face of Jalbuena. Lingan interfered, this then irked Navarro and another argument
    ensued. Lingan then challenged Navarro to divest himself of his gun so that they can
    have a fistfight. Thereafter, Navarro mauled Lingan which resulted in Lingan’s death.
    During trial, Jalbuena, testified and presented in evidence to confirm his testimony was
    a voice recording he had made of the heated discussion at the police station.
    Issue:
    WON the voice recording is admissible in evidence in view of RA 4200, which prohibits
    wiretapping.
    Ruling:
    Yes, the tape in admissible. The law prohibits the overhearing, intercepting, or recording
    of PRIVATE COMMUNICATIONS. Since the exchange between petitioner Navarro and
    Lingan was not a private conversation, its tape recording is not prohibited.
