My auntie said foul words against me such as I am a demon, and I was worshipping demons and it was sent in our group chats. What case can I file against her?

Thank you for raising your concern. Based on what you have shared, the statements made by your auntie, particularly calling you a 'demon' and accusing you of worshipping demons, may constitute verbal abuse and could potentially fall under slander or defamation under Philippine law, especially if the statements were made in the presence of others or through messages that could be shared. The law protects individuals from false, malicious, and insulting remarks that damage one’s reputation or cause emotional distress.

However, whether legal action is advisable depends on factors such as the context of the conversation, whether the statements were made publicly or privately, and whether there is evidence (such as messages or witnesses). In many family disputes, mediation or a formal demand to stop the behavior may be recommended before pursuing legal remedies. If the statements continue or escalate, you may consider consulting with us to assess possible actions under the Revised Penal Code or other applicable laws, etc.

Sincerely,
