ORANGE AND LEMONS’ BIG HIT
The Pinoy band has been accused of copying the melody and musical arrangement of an obscure single, "Chandeliers," by 1980s New Wave group, Care, and then using it for their breakout hit, "Pinoy Ako." Their song was used as the theme for Pinoy Big Brother.

The aftermath: As far as we know, the band has never been sued for the alleged offense. The band members have since gone their separate ways. Lead guitarist/vocalist Clem Castro got kicked out of the band. Thus, he started his own band. He’s now identified as the "frontman" of the three-piece indie pop group The Camerawalls signed under his own label, Lilystars Records. The three remaining bandmembers-Mcoy Fundales, JM Del Mundo, and Ace Del Mundo-formed a new band called Kenyo.

SECOND: One former justice said it was possible that Del Castillo or his staff may have researched the same materials as cited in the alleged plagiarized articles. Another reputable source hinted that judges and justices are aided by legal staff for research, considering the volume of their work and it is here that the lapse or gap may have occurred."

THIRD:  In April 2010, businessman Manuel V. Pangilinan tendered his irrevocable resignation as chair of the Ateneo de Manila University (AdMU) board of trustees after it was found that portions of the commencement speeches that he delivered at the school’s graduation rites in March that year were copied from the speeches of celebrities like J.K. Rowling, Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama

FOURTH: The AdMU board of trustees initially didn’t want to accept Pangilinan’s resignation. However, they had no choice but to let him go. To this day, everyone’s still wondering who exactly wrote those plagiarized speeches. For his sake, we hope Pangilinan fired those lazy speechwriters.

FIFTH:In a blog entry posted on April 6, 2011 sports blogger Jaemark Tordecilla compared veteran writer Krip Yuson’s article on the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) published in Rogue magazine and a GMA News Online article by sportswriter Rey Joble on the late PBA commissioner Rudy Salud. Tordecilla observed, "Almost the whole middle section of Yuson’s article was lifted directly from it (Joble’s article). Whole paragraphs were copied, with very minor changes made."
