CARPIO, J.
Moreover, where the broadcast is libelous per se, the law implies damages.[45] In such a case, evidence of an honest mistake or the want of character or reputation of the party libeled goes only in mitigation of damages.[46] Neither in such a case is the plaintiff required to introduce evidence of actual damages as a condition precedent to the recovery of some damages.[47] In this case, the broadcasts are libelous per se.  Thus, AMEC is entitled to moral damages.
