Can you record someone in a public place without their consent?

MMDA Chairman Romando Artes says he believes consent is not required when filming in public, citing the recent incident involving a teacher who was detained while riding a motorcycle without a helmet.

However, Artes said the MMDA will review its policy on recordings in public places and consult with the National Privacy Commission before finalizing any changes or clarifications.

The issue raises important questions about privacy, public spaces, and the limits of recording people in the Philippines.
