Blatant Plagiarism from the Philippines!!!

Check out this blatant plagiarism from Philstar.com known as the Philippine news and entertainment portal for the Filipino global community. The the online presence of the STAR Group of Publications, a leading publisher of newspapers and magazines in the Philippines.

This is the link to the Philstar article dated September 27, 2008 by Jay Ortega.

And here is where it came from (dated September 18, 2008).

What a shame! Does the Filipino global community have no access to the rollingstone site???

  1. Hello!

    I like this entry so much and the fact that this is not the first time in Philippine periodical history.

    Some people in the publication are so lazy, they either copy someone's work elsewhere (thinking it's an obscure find) or get a ghost writer on their behalf.

    The funny part is, the entry of philstar.com was removed at this very time that I checked. As equal as you, I'm tired of these goof ups and simply want to bring them to shame...

    Much respect,

    Johnonymous
