Cybercrime Prevention Act – Republic
Act 10175

Republic Act 10175 – Cybercrime Prevention Act was signed into law last
September 12, 2012. This law is already in effect as the Supreme Court
uphold its constitutionality (February 18, 2014). Although some provisions
were deemed as unconstitutional (struck down) particularly Sections 4(c)(3),
7, 12, and 19.

It is a law considered to be 11 years in the making as various groups,

organizations, and personalities lobbied for its passage. It took awhile for the
law to be passed as legislators and various stakeholders need to understand
the magnitude of cybercrime and whether the penalty provisions indicated in
the E-Commerce Law – Republic Act 8792 is sufficient or not.

At a PTV4 Forum on Anti-Cybercrime Law, Department of Justice Assistant

Secretary Geronimo Sy explained that laws on cybercrime are considered as
the 3rd building block of legislations necessary to protect the people from
crimes committed in cyberspace and use of ICT.
I always look at cybercrime as something under the 2nd block or special penal
laws (where I think the E-Commerce Law is in). Although it seems there is
now a set of laws in place that are already in that 3rd block and increasing
further (which may already include the E-Commerce Law as it is the first
policy in place against hacking and online piracy).

As we use and integrate ICT and Internet in our lives, perhaps it is possible
that new forms of crimes can happen online and where broader or special
legislation will have to be created (that provides mandate for resource
allotment too). Nevertheless, that perspective, whether agreeable or not,
brings the importance of having more organized groups of netizens who can
interact with policy makers proactively on Internet / ICT related policies and do
its share of stakeholder consultation.
 

From my review and understanding, the law:

1. Penalizes (section 8) sixteen types of cybercrime (Section 4). They are:

Types of Cybercrime Penalty

includes commission of any of the punishable acts made possible
due to the lack of supervision or control.

If you are going to include all provisions in the Revised Penal Code, there can
even be more than 16 types of cybercrime as a result.

2. Liability on other laws

Section 7 was struck down by Supreme Court as it violated the provision

on double jeopardy.

3. Jurisdiction
(a) The Regional Trial Court designated special cybercrime courts shall have
jurisdiction over any violation of the provisions of this Act including any
violation committed by a Filipino national regardless of the place of
commission. Jurisdiction shall lie if any of the elements was committed within
the Philippines or committed with the use of any computer system wholly or
partly situation in the country, or when by such commission any damage is
caused to a natural or juridical person who, at the time the offense was
committed, was in the Philippines. (section 21)

(b) For international and trans-national cybercrime investigation and

prosecution, all relevant international instruments on international cooperation
in criminal maters, arrangements agreed on the basis of uniform or reciprocal
legislation, and domestic laws, to the widest extent possible for the purposes
of investigations or proceedings concerning criminal offenses related to
computer systems and data, or for the collection of evidence in electronic form
of a criminal offense shall be given full force and effect. (section 21)

This gives the Philippines the ability to participate in treaties and of mutual
cooperation with countries that have counterpart legislation effectively –
especially – on cybercrime cases that have team members or victims residing
in the Philippines.

4. Responsibilities of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and National

Bureau of Investigation (NBI)

The law gave police authorities the mandate it needs to initiate an

investigation to process the various complaints/report it gets from
citizens. There are instances of online attacks, done anonymously, where
victims approach police authorities for help. They often find themselves lost in
getting investigation assistance as police authorities can’t effectively initiate an
investigation (only do special request) – as their legal authority to request for
logs or data does not exist at all unless a case is already filed. (which in case
of anonymously done – will be hard to initiate)

I truly believe in giving citizen victims, regardless of stature, the necessary

investigation assistance they deserve. This law – gave our police authorities
just that.

The PNP and NBI shall be responsible for the enforcement of this law. This
includes:

(a) The PNP and NBI are mandated to organize a cybercrime unit or center
manned by special investigators to exclusively handle cases involving
violations of this Act. (Section 10).
(b) The PNP and NBI are required to submit timely and regular reports
including pre-operation, post-operation, and investigation results and such
other documents as may be required to the Department of Justice for review
and monitoring. (Section 11)

(c) THE SUPREME COURT STRUCK DOWN SECTION 12 THAT IS

SUPPOSED TO authorize law enforcement authorities, without a court
warrant, to collect or record by technical or electronic means traffic
data in real-time associated with specified communications transmitted by
means of a computer system. (Section 12) Getting a COURT WARRANT is a
must.

(d) May order a one-time extension of another six (6) months on computer

data requested for preservation. Provided, That once computer data
preserved, transmitted or stored by a service provider is used as evidence in a
case, the mere furnishing to such service provider of the transmittal document
to the Office of the Prosecutor shall be deemed a notification to preserve the
computer data until the termination of the case. (Section 13)

(e) Carry out search and seizure warrants on computer data. (section 15)
Once done, turn-over custody in a sealed manner to courts within 48 hours
(section 16) unless an extension for no more than 30 days was given by the
courts (section 15).

(f) Upon expiration of time required to preserve data, police authorities shall

immediately and completely destroy the computer data subject of a
preservation and examination. (section 17)

5. The responsibility of service providers (SP)

Service provider refers any public or private entity that provides to users of its
service the ability to communicate by means of a computer system,
and processes or stores computer data on behalf of such communication
service or users of such service. (Section 3(n).

(a) SP upon receipt of a court warrant from police authorities to disclose or

submit subscriber’s information, traffic data or relevant data in its possession
or control shall comply within seventy-two (72) hours from receipt of the order
in relation to a valid complaint officially docketed and assigned for
investigation and the disclosure is necessary and relevant for the purpose of
investigation. (section 14)

(b) The integrity of traffic data and subscriber information relating to

communication services provided by a service provider shall be preserved for
a minimum of six (6) months period from the date of the transaction. Content
data shall be similarly preserved for six (6) months from the date of receipt of
the order from law enforcement authorities requiring its preservation. (Section
13)

(c) Once computer data preserved, transmitted or stored by a service provider

is used as evidence in a case, the mere furnishing to such service provider of
the transmittal document to the Office of the Prosecutor shall be deemed a
notification to preserve the computer data until the termination of the case.
(Section 13)

(d) Upon expiration of time required to preserve data, SP shall immediately

and completely destroy the computer data subject of a preservation and
examination. (section 17)

(e) Failure to comply with the provisions of Chapter IV specifically the orders

from law enforcement authorities shall be punished as a violation of
Presidential Decree No. 1829 with imprisonment of prision correccional in its
maximum period or a fine of One hundred thousand pesos (P100,000) or both
for each and every non-compliance with an order issued by law enforcement
authorities.

Service Provider protection insofar as liability is a concern is already covered

under the E-Commerce Law.

6. Responsibility of individuals

(a) Individuals upon receipt of a court warrant being required to disclose or

submit subscriber’s information, traffic data or relevant data in his possession
or control shall comply within seventy-two (72) hours from receipt of the order
in relation to a valid complaint officially docketed and assigned for
investigation and the disclosure is necessary and relevant for the purpose of
investigation.

(b) Failure to comply with the provisions of Chapter IV specifically the orders

from law enforcement authorities shall be punished as a violation of
Presidential Decree No. 1829 with imprisonment of prision correccional in its
maximum period or a fine of One hundred thousand pesos (P100,000) or both
for each and every non-compliance with an order issued by law enforcement
authorities.

7. Inadmissible evidence

(a) Any evidence procured without a valid warrant or beyond the authority of
the same shall be inadmissible for any proceeding before any court or
tribunal. (section 18)
8. Access limitation

The Supreme Court struck down Section 19 of the law that gives the
Department of Justice powers to order the blocking of access to a site
provided there is prima facie evidence supporting it.

9. Cybercrime new authorities

(a) Office of Cybercrime within the DOJ designated as the central authority in
all matters relating to international mutual assistance and extradition. (section
23)

(b) Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) an inter-agency

body to be created under the administrative supervision of the Office of the
President, for policy coordination among concerned agencies and for the
formulation and enforcement of the national cybersecurity plan. (section 24)

CICC will be headed by the Executive Director of the Information and

Communications Technology Office under the Department of Science and
Technology as Chairperson with the Director of the NBI as Vice Chairperson;
the Chief of the PNP, Head of the DOJ Office of Cybercrime; and one (1)
representative from the private sector and academe, as members. (section
25)

The CICC is the cybercrime czar tasked to ensure this law is effectively
implemented. (section 26)

Although the law specifically stated a fifty million pesos (P50,000,000) annual
budget, the determination as where it would go or allotted to, I assume shall
be to the CICC.

DEBATE / DISPUTE on the Cybercrime Prevention Act.

In my discussion with lawyers, journalist, bloggers, among others, concerns

were raised on how the law can be in violation of the Constitution and other
laws. This includes:

1. Discrimination against online crime.

In crimes committed online, the law gives a higher penalty compared to its
offline counterpart. This is seen as a violation of principles within the E-
Commerce Law where both offline and online evidence is given equal weight.
In its implementing rules and regulations, it also indicated not to give special
benefit or penalty to electronic transactions just because it is committed
online.
However, I note that perhaps the reason for this also is to increase the
penalties. The original Revised Penal Code, for example, gives a penalty for
libel in the amount of up to six thousand pesos (P6,000).

2. Did the Cybercrime Law criminalize online libel? Will it result to

double jeopardy?
Some see the Cybercrime Law as enabling criminalization of online libel. I
think that is not correct.

Libel is a criminal offense as defined under the Revised Penal Code.

The E-Commerce Law empowered all existing laws to recognize its electronic
counterpart. It recognized both commercial and non-commercial in form. This
made electronic documents (text message, email, web pages, blog post, etc)
admissible as evidence in court (and can’t be denied legal admissibility just
because it is electronic form and has the same primary evidence weight).
Existing penalties under the laws where offense fall in shall apply. That is why
the filing of libel cases committed electronically became possible in the past
years (and there were cases filed, some won, some lost, and some are
ongoing).

Libel is already a criminal offense under the Revised Penal Code as is. Then it
got extended to its electronic form since 2000 (with the recognition of its
electronic form provided by the E-Commerce Law) with existing penalties
applying to it. With the Cybercrime Law, it increased the penalty further if
committed with the use of ICT.

According to Atty. Geronimo Sy (Department of Justice), during the PTV4

Forum on Anti-Cybercrime Law, a complaint on electronic libel will only have
one (1) case to be filed. The maximum penalty for electronic libel is 8 years.

Hitting the “Like” button on Facebook does not make you commit the act of
libel. In this ANC interview, Senator Ed Angara clarified that posting a
comment where you get to share your thoughts is covered under “protected
expression”.

The amount of penalty is still to be set by the DOJ as there is usually no

automatic degree scaling in special penal laws. If a person who got accused
of committing electronic libel also did the same in traditional (offline) form, only
one case shall be filed. It will be interesting to see how the DOJ will implement
the scaling in effect as a result of this.

The mention of libel in the Cybercrime Law is the most contested provision in
the law. The additional penalties is seen to curtail freedom of expression.
Most of the petitions against the Cybercrime Law focused on this provision.

Numerous legislators are already expressing interest as well in amending the

Cybercrime Law and Revised Penal Code.

3. Real-time data access

I appreciate the need for real-time access to data, such as cellular traffic
data,  especially in tracking scammers and any critical incident as it happens
(such as kidnapping and other in-progress crimes) where immediate access is
important.
However, the mining of this data for surveillance can be seen as subject
abuse. Furthermore, if no intervention such as a judge approval, comes first
before getting access where need can be justified.

Although I think this will slow down the process if anything needs court
approval first. But other parties believe that this is a must requirement. As the
Supreme Court struck down Section 12, I hope processes will be set-up
to assist law enforcement with its investigation, to fasten court warrant
issuance, especially as it receives complaints from victims of
cybercrime.

As the Cybercrime Law gets upheld by the Supreme

Court, here are my personal notes on the development
of its implementing rules and regulations:
1. Ensure that procedures for police assistance and securing court orders will
be fair regardless whether complainants can afford a lawyer or not to assist
them.

2. Make the process for data access efficient so that text and online scams
culprits can be made accountable soon while ensuring that the data collected
won’t be abused.

I am glad that lobbying moves to strike down the whole Cybercrime

Prevention Act (Republic Act 10175) did not prosper. The law has
greater purposes and intentions that can be helpful in protecting the
interest of our netizens and country online.

Will update this document further (to be continued)

May classmate po kasi ako na nakialam ng fb account ng isa ko pa pong classmate,
nagbasa po siya at nagbackread ng conversations namin sa group chat. 6 lang po
kaming member ng group chat na yon pero ung classmate ko pong nagbasa hindi po
siya kasali don. Ngayon po, nagscreenshot po siya nung mga pinag-usapan namin and
kinalat po niya sa buong klase namin, nakaabot pa po sa mga prof. Tanong ko lang po
kung sakop po ba ng cybercrime law ung ginawa niya and pwede po ba siyang kasuhan
about don? Salamat po

Nahulihan ko ang mister ko ng ibat ibang fb acct at puro teenagers ang mga chinachat
nya at tinatanong nya kung gustong makapanood ng sex video. May pumapayag kaya
napapadalhan nya.
Isa sa mga kachat nya nagsbi sya (mister ko) na padalhan siya ng nakahubad at
nagpadala nga ng napakaraming pictures nya na nakahubad. Sa kasunod na kachat ng

winawalang hiya. 2nd gusto ko ng matigil na o kundi man ay mabigyan siya ng kaso?

Pwede po ba kasuhan yung isang tao or ang company na anti-cybercrime law dahil
piang-tittext nila yung mga frined at client ko na may utang ako sa kanila.
Nakuha nila yung mga contact number sa phonebook ko kaya sila nakapag-text sa mga
friend at clinet ko,Parang gusto nila akong ipahiya at minsan tinawagan pa nila ang isa
sa cellphone number na tinext nila at sinisigawan pa.
