Dear Chief Acosta,

Magandang araw! Nais kong malaman kung maaari bang gamiting ebidensiya ang records ng guidance counselor na nag­lalaman ng impor­masyon o komunikas­yon ng kanyang mga kliyente kahit hindi sila nagbigay ng pa­hintulot? — Angie

Dear Angie,

Para sa iyong kaala­man, ang iyong katanu­ngan ay binigyang-linaw ng Section 28 ng Republic Act No. 9258 o mas kilala sa tawag na “Guidance and Counseling Act of 2004” kung saan nakasaad na hindi maaaring gami­ting ebidensiya sa anumang layunin at anumang paglilitis ang records ng licensed guidance coun­selor na naglala­man ng impor­masyon o komunikas­yon ng kan­yang mga kliyente kung wala silang pahintulot:

“Sec. 28. Right to Privilege Communication for Guidance Coun­selor. – A certified guidance counselor who is allowed to practice guidance and counseling in accordance with this Act, without the consent of the client, be examined as to any communication or information which has been acquired while attending to such client. The protection accorded here­in shall also be extended to the rec­ords and secretary or clerk of a licensed guidance counselor, who may not be examined concerning any fact, the knowledge of which has been acquired in such capacity.

Any evidence obtained in violation of this provision shall be inadmissible for any purpose and any proceeding.” (Binigyang-diin)
