 Activity 1: Make a brief discussion on the Strength, Weaknesses,
Opportunities and Threat of the RA 1075.

some countries.

functioning of the computer system and the measures to protect and preserve the
computer data therein to provide, as is reasonable, the necessary information, to
enable the undertaking of the search, seizure and examination

•Risk management approaches , tools and technologies in the country

Threat are obsolete.

Activity 2: Look for decided cases with regards to cybercrime offenses indicating the acts committed and
the court’s decision. Would you agree to the court’s decision? Support your answer.

The decided cases with regards to cybercrime offenses that I had chosen are cyberlibel cases since fake
news and information are rampant online, in almost any social media platform. First case, Pasay court
convicts fugitive social media blogger anew over libelous FB posts against Senator Drilon. Second case, the
Manila Regional Trial Court Branch 46 found Maria Ressa, the executive editor of the online news website
Rappler, and the journalist Reynalodo Santos Jr. guilty of “cyberlibel”.

I believe and agree to the court’s decision. Freedom of speech is the right of the people to express their
opinions publicly without government interference. Freedom of speech is one of the most misunderstood
concepts in this country. It is often misunderstood due to people’s varied interpretations. There are some
who think that obscenities are included in ‘ideas’ and ‘opinions’, so a netizen uses social media to attack
an individual, thinking that he or she has the freedom to do so. Like any other right, freedom of speech
is not absolute. There are kinds of speeches that are illegal and people who are not mindful of such limits
shall be held responsible for abusing this freedom. Therefore, let us always think of the consequences
before ranting and posting online.
ASSESSMENT
Direction: Essay writing.

1. A is the girlfriend of B, A decided to broke up with B because of its

frequent argument and misunderstanding but B refuses to agree and
said that if A broke up with him he will post their sex scandal on the
internet. What would be the possible crime that could be charge
against B? Support your answer.

Since the intimate content is shared and it fell into the hands of
someone who threatens to make A go viral, the possible crime that
could be charged against B is Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act,
why? Under RA 9995 it is prohibited to copy or reproduce, or to cause
to be copied or reproduced, such photo or video or recording of sexual
act or any similar activity with or without consideration. B can also be
liable for Anti-Violence Against Women (R.A. 9262) for causing or
likely to cause mental or emotional suffering of A for his intimidation,
harassment and humiliation.
