To curb down the cybercrimes in the Philippines, the
Philippine Congress has ratified the law penalizing
violators of cybercrimes and this is the Republic Act
10175 or also known as the Cybercrime Prevention Act
of 2012. The purpose of this act is to define
cybercrime, provide for the prevention, investigation,
suppression and penalties therefore and for other
purposes.
MANILA, Philippines Almost 9 out of 10 Filipino Internet users have been victimized by cybercrime or a malicious
activity on the Internet at one time or another, the Department of Justice (DOJ) primer on facts and trends about
cybercrimes committed in the country, said on Tuesday.
The primer on Philippine cybercrime has been prepared by the DOJ as part of its advocacy program to prevent abuses
in cyberspace as the legality of the new law against cybercrime is being deliberated in the Supreme Court.
In October 2012, the implementation of the new Cyber-crime Prevention Act of 2012 was suspended by the high
tribunal for four months until Feb.6 following 15 petitions seeking for the law to be declared unconstitutional wholly or
partially. The high court is set to hear on Jan.15 oral arguments on the law that became controversial because of its
provisions that included the criminalization of online libel. n the three-page primer presented in a question and
answer format, the DOJ said that cybercrime has become one of the fastest growing crimes globally.
In the Philippines, the primer quoted a 2010 report of the security software firm Symantec that as many as 87 percent
of Filipino internet users (nearly nine out of 10) were identified as victims of crimes and malicious activities committed
online. These included being victimized in activities such as malware (virus and Trojan) invasion; online or phishing
scams; sexual predation; and services in social networking site like Facebook and Twitter.
From 2003 to 2012, the Anti-Transnational Crime Division (ATCD) of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group
(CIDG) of the Philippine National Police (PNP) looked into 2,778 referred cases of computer crimes from government
agencies and private individuals nationwide.
The primer defined cybercrime as a crime committed with or through the use of information and communication
technologies such as radio, television, cellullar phone, computer and network, and other communication device or
application.



Quoting the 2001 Budapest Convention on Cybercrime, the primer said there were four
types of cybercrime offenses against the confidentiality, integrity and availability of
computer data systems; computer-related offenses; content-related offenses and offenses
related to infringements of copyright and related rights.
The primer also noted that the first cybercrime case in the country was the controversial
case involving Onel de Guzman who in 2000 released the I Love You virus.
The case filed against De Guzman was dismissed at the first stage because there was no
law punishing the deed as of that time in May 2000 in the Philippines, it said.
The primer also said that two cybercriminals had been convicted for hacking under
Republic Act no. 8792 or the Electronic Commerce Act or the E-Commerce Act. The first
conviction involved a person caught hacking the government portal gov.ph and other
government websites while the other involved a person who used the Business Process
Outsourcing (BPO) call center provider Sitel Philippines Corporation to illegally secure
credit card information from the companys sister firm, Sitel USA.
Since the new law against cybercrime has been suspended, the government is dealing
with cybercrime-related cases using existing laws such as the E-Commerce Act, RA 9995
or the Anti-Photo and Voyeurism Act of 2009, RA 9725 or the Anti-Child Pornography
Act of 2009, RA 9208 or the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003, RA 8484 or the
Access Device Regulation Act of 1998 and RA 4200 or the Anti-Wire Tapping Law.
