Plagiarism controversy

On 28 April 2010, Justice del Castillo penned the decision on Vinuya vs. Executive Secretary, a case involving Filipina sex slavery victims during the Japanese occupation in the Second World War. Petitioners said that it contains "plagiarized portions" taken out of context to support the arguments for denying their petition.
