 RA No. 10929 is known as the free

SLIDESMANIA
 RA no. 10929 - DICT
Minimum internet speed per user is 2Mbps

On a 2Mbps connection, it should take around 8 seconds to load a

typical web page or to download a high-quality photo from the
internet to your device. On average, downloading a MP3 file will
take around 20 seconds and downloading a mobile application will
take about 2 minutes.

 What do you think is the problem?

 “
Accordingly, this allotted amount of 2Mbps
to be used per user is actually reasonable.
However, in rural areas, this amount is
hardly experienced. Students who happened
to have rely on this kind of services, due to
financial instability, are not pleased with
how slow the internet connection is and

If only the 2mbps internet speed is properly
and fairly distributed for every user then this
issue should have not existed. The
government should really look unto this
matter as having good internet connection
specially in public places helps better the
performance of the students and give relief to

 Some facts about cybercrime.
Cyber-threats can lead to a variety of consequences, ranging from
theft of personal information to extortion of money or loss of
valuable data, such as family photos. Society and systems depend
on critical infrastructures, such as power plants, hospitals, and
financial services. Online threats spill over into the real world too
often. Whether or not those threats actually result in physical harm,
they change the way we think, behave, or go about daily life. The
news doesn't let us forget that in severe cases, online threats turn
into very real violence or intimidation.
SLIDESMANIA
 Let’s review some facts.
Republic Act No. 10175 (RA 10175) also known as the
Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.
In RA 10175, Philippine recognizes the need to protect and safeguard the
integrity of computer, computer and communications systems, networks
and databases, and the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of
information and data stored therein from all forms of misuse, abuse and
illegal access by making punishable under the law such conduct or
conducts.
SLIDESMANIA
 To this end, the State shall adopt sufficient powers to effectively
prevent and combat such offenses by facilitating their detection,
investigation and prosecution at both the domestic and
international levels, and by providing arrangements for fast and
reliable international cooperation.
