Nancy was hoping that the President will support and consider this bill as one of the administration’s priority measures.
Binay also said according to an interview that this measure will empower women and their children by providing them with the necessary protection against online bullying, cyber-stalking, and other forms of harassment committed using the internet, social media or any other forms of electronic media.
She also said that “the law fails to address the form of violence brought on victims of such scandals, by reason of their special relationships with their assailants,” in which she pointed out to end such form of harassment against women and their children in the social media.
She said that media beceme the instrument for the people to disseminate some unreliable information that could affect and destroy both known personalities the private citizen of the country.
