Exhibit F
The Civil Code on Damages

One who is aggrieved by a defamatory post in social media may find refuge in the provisions of
the Civil Code on Damages (Art. 2176, Civil Code). One who posts in social media, causing
damage to the reputation of another may be liable to the subject for damages and this can be a
valid cause of action under the law. Such posts must tend to pry to the privacy and peace of mind
of another, meddle or disturb the private life or family relations of another, intrigue to cause
another to be alienated from friends or vex or humiliate another on account of religious beliefs,
lowly station in life, place of birth, physical defect or other personal condition. (Art. 26, Civil
Code).

The Labour Code on Just Causes for Termination

An employee who spreads rumors or intrigues against a co-worker or their superior or vice versa,
or who does any act similar to cyberlibel, slander, intriguing against honour or even prying into
the privacy of another may be a just cause for termination if embodied in the company policy in
addition to all other causes of action available to them under the laws mentioned, (Sec. 5.2(g),
D.O 147-15).

However, all these will only be a valid cause of action to one who is the subject of the post and
who is aware of the post directed to him or her.

Freedom of speech must not be infringed but this right is not without any limitations. In the end,
it is always best to devote the stroke of our fingers and the clicks of our mouse to intellectual
discourse that matter rather than risk being held liable under the law. After all, the power of our
minds should be mightier than any sword there is.

Infringement on the Company’s code of conduct and ethics policy, and failure to adhere to the
Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy will be a just cause for immediate termination.
