The Republic Act 10175 or the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 was already signed into law by President Benigno Aquino III on September 12, 2012.
The House Committe on Communications and Information Technology has approved an anti-cybercrime bill, which aims to protect individuals and institutions from cyber attacks.
The House Bill 383 or the “Cybercrime Prevention Act” was principally authored by former President and currently Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, which seeks to criminalize the use of Internet for illegal activities.
The bill was co-authored by Camarines Sur Rep. Diosdado Arroyo, Tarlac Rep. Susan Yap, Ilocos Sur Rep. Eric Singson Jr., Aurora Rep. Juan Edgardo Angara, Pampanga Rep. Carmelo Lazatin, Marikina Rep. Marcelino Teodoro, Cagayan de Oro Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, and Buhay party-list Rep. Mariano Michael Velarde Jr.
