SOTTO'S LAST SPEECH 'TURNO EN CONTRA' COPIED AGAIN?

excerpt from abs-cbn

Did Senator Tito Sotto, who has been accused of plagiarism, copy yet again from someone else in the last part of his "turno en contra" privilege speech against the reproductive health (RH) bill on Wednesday?

 

Social media user called out Sotto, accusing him of only translating parts of a speech originally delivered by the late US Senator Robert F. Kennedy.

She said on Twitter that she noticed something wrong in Sotto's speech in Filipino.

"I knew 'maliliit na galaw' sounded like an awkward translation of something originally in English. So I googled 'ripples courage,'" she said.

Some of the contentious lines of the speech are:

KENNEDY:

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.  

 It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped.

Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.

SOTTO:

Iilan ang magiging dakila sa pagbali ng kasaysayan, subalit bawat isa sa atin ay maaaring kumilos, gaano man kaliit, para ibahin ang takbo ng mga pangyayari. Kapag pinagsama-sama ang ating munting pagkilos, makalilikha tayo ng totalidad na magmamarka sa kabuuan ng kasaysayan ng henerasyong ito.

Ang mga hindi-mabilang na iba't ibang galaw ng katapangan at paninindigan ang humuhubog sa kasaysayan ng sangkatauhan.

Tuwing naninindigan tayo para sa isang paniniwala, tuwing kumikilos tayo para mapabuti ang buhay ng iba, tuwing nilalabanan natin ang kawalan ng katarungan, nakalilikha tayo ng maliliit na galaw. Kapag nagkasama-sama ang mumunting galaw na mga ito, bubuo ito ng isang malakas na puwersang kayang magpabagsak maging ng pinakamatatag na dingding ng opresyon.
