10. The Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 is the first law in the Philippines which
specifically criminalizes computer crime, which prior to the passage of the law had no
strong legal precedent in Philippine jurisprudence.
While laws such as the Electronic Commerce Act of 2000 (Republic Act No. 8792
regulated certain computer-related activities, these laws did not provide a legal basis for
criminalizing crimes committed on a computer in general: for example, Onel de Guzman,
the computer programmer charged with purportedly writing the ILOVEYOU computer
worm, was ultimately not prosecuted by Philippine authorities due to a lack of legal basis
for him to be charged under existing Philippine laws at the time of his arrest
11. The Act, divided into 31 sections split across eight chapters, criminalizes
several types of offense, including illegal access (hacking), data
interference, device misuse, cybersquatting, computer-related offenses
such as computer fraud, content-related offenses such
as cybersex and spam, and other offenses.
The law also reaffirms existing laws against child pornography, an
offense under Republic Act No. 9779 (the Anti-Child Pornography Act of
2009), and libel, an offense under Section 355 of the Revised Penal
Code of the Philippines, also criminalizing them when committed using a
computer system.
Finally, the Act includes a "catch-all" clause, making all offenses
currently punishable under the Revised Penal Code also punishable
under the Act when committed using a computer, with severer penalties
than provided by the Revised Penal Code alone.
12.
13. The Magna Carta for Philippine Internet Freedom (abbreviated
as #MCPIF) is an internet law billfiled in the Philippine legislature.
The bill contains provisions promoting civil and political
rights andConstitutional guarantees for Philippine internet users, such
as freedom of expression, as well as provisions on information and
communications technology policy, ICT4D, internet governance, e-
governance, cybersecurity, cyberwarfare, cyberterrorism,
and cybercrime.
The Magna Carta for Philippine Internet Freedom was proposed as an
alternative[1] to the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 whose
enactment was met with mixed reactions.[2] Proponents of the bill claim
that the #MCPIF is the first crowdsourced bill in the Philippines
14. The Act has universal jurisdiction: its provisions apply to all Filipino
nationals regardless of the place of commission.
Jurisdiction also lies when a punishable act is either committed within the
Philippines, whether the erring device is wholly or partly situated in the
Philippines, or whether damage was done to any natural or juridical person
who at the time of commission was within the Philippines.
Regional Trial Courts shall have jurisdiction over cases involving violations
of the Act.

20. Anti-DOTA Addiction Bill
Filed In Congress
Valenzuela City first district
representative Win Gatchalian filed a bill
at the House of Representatives seeking
to prohibit all computer shop owners from
letting minors enter their shops within
school hours
According to the representative, House
Bill 4740, also known as the “Internet
Cafe Regulation Act”, will limit children’s
access to computers in order to prevent
addiction and other “untoward incidents”
on online and computer games such as
DOTA and Counter Strike, citing the
violent incidents that occur among players
when stakes are raised.
21. Minors To Put Under Limits At Internet
Shops In Valenzuela City
The Valenzuela City Government strictly
implements the Sangguniang
Panlungsod Ordinance No. 13, series
of 211, otherwise known as, “The Internet
Ordinance of Valenzuela City,” beginning
with a massive poster and tarpaulin
campaign around the city.
The campaign aims to inform the public
that in Valenzuela City, minors, or any
person below 18 years old, are allowed at
internet cafés, and computer rental and
gaming shops from 4:00 p.m. to 9:30
p.m. only.
Tarpaulins were installed at conspicuous
areas around the city and posters are
being placed at internet cafés, and
computer rental and gaming shops, to
spread awareness among the owners and
operators of such establishments that a
new local law to regulate their operation
inforce in force.
22. The simply designed poster, featuring clear-cut text and a sketch of a school-
age girl in front of a personal computer stamped with a red caution symbol, is
one of the series of posters and tarpaulins released by the Office of the City
Mayor, through the Public Information Office (PIO), along with the
posters/tarpaulins against selling of liquor and tobacco products to minors, and
posters/tarpaulins on the prohibited hours of selling liquor and alcoholic
products in the city.
Under the ordinance, minors shall be restricted to enter the internet shops
and cafés from 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and beyond 9:30 p.m., allowing them
ample time of five hours and a half to do school research and home works.
23. Furthermore, Section 5 of the said Ordinance limits the operating hours
to until 1:00 a.m. Internet cafes in the city are usually open
24/7. “Minors lingering at internet shops till wee hours in the morning
are among the reported concerns from parents and concerned citizens
alike,” said City Mayor Sherwin T. Gatchalian of the rationale of the
ordinance which he approved early this year.
The regulation of the allowable hours shall be fully-implemented except
during weekends, holidays and school vacations.
Any violator shall be fined with a maximum of PhP 5, 000.00 and/or
closure of the establishment and cancellation of the business permit.
The assigned team of the Business Compliance Task Force (BCTF) will soon
conduct a massive random operation to check if internet shop owners will
comply with the new local law.
24.
25. LA TRINIDAD, Benguet (Philippines) – Internet
cafés in the province of Benguet deep in the Cordillera
mountain ranges shall control the type of content that
can be accessed by their customers.
A child Internet user shall not be allowed to access
nudity, sexual activity, and aggressive violence (unless
it is an essential part of any educational requirement in
school).
Whenever possible, the Internet café establishment
shall install filtering software that shall inhibit all
Internet users’ access to pornographic websites.
These are just some of the very stringent regulatory
provisions of an Ordinance recently enacted by the
Benguet Provincial Board prescribing guidelines and
regulations of the operation and service of Internet
cafés and other similar establishments within the
province.
26. An Internet café establishment which violates the provisions of the Ordinance
shall face the cancellation of its business permit and license and an
imprisonment of the owner for six months to one year and a fine from 500 to
5,000 pesos.
Known as the “Child-Friendly Internet Café Ordinance”, it
embodies the provincial government’s “role in protecting children against
abuse, exploitation and violence, in all forms and means, including violence
against children in cyberspace, brought about by the use and access of the
Internet through Internet cafés and other establishments.”
The Ordinance seeks to affirm the province of Benguet duty to promote,
protect and safeguard the survival, the development, protection and
participation rights of all children, consistent with the Convention on the
Rights of the Child and the Philippine National Strategic Framework for Plan
Development for Children
27. .
Under the said provincial ordinance, a child Internet user (anyone below 18
years old) shall not be allowed to use the services of an Internet café during
regular school hours for on-line or network gaming, e-mail, chat or any other
service, unless permission is given by a duly-authorized representative of the
school, parent or guardian.
“Permission” is defined in the Ordinance as something that “must be written and
accompanied by the contact details of the duly-authorized school representative, parent
or guardian for verification purposes”.
In addition, the Provincial Ordinance requires that all Internet café establishments “shall
maintain open cubicles for each computer unit that will allow employees or staff of the
Internet café establishment to view the type of content or Internet services being used”.
The Ordinance also requires that all Internet café establishments “shall adopt and inform
all Internet users of a procedure for reporting any intentional or accidental access to
illegal, offensive or harmful content on the Internet”.

44. Epigenetic research
WHY IS EPIGENETIC RESEARCH IS APT IN OUR
CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS
FILIPINO CHILDREN SHOWED THE
MOST VULNERABILITY
45. FACTS
Unicef showed that there are about three to six million Filipino children
left behind as parents pursue work abroad.The figure of affected Filipino
children casts a huge shadow when compared with Indonesia's one million
and Thailand's half a million.
Feminization” of migration has complicated the situation as it “implies a r
edefinition of the economic role of women in society and within the
family as well.”
The absence of parents, creates “displacement, disruptions and
changes in care-giving arrangement.”
Such effects are more felt when it is the mother who works abroad, as
families go through more adjustments, than when it is the father who
goes to work abroad.
This is because men do not easily take up care-giving when they assume
the role of the mother
46. the social costs of labor migration cannot be denied, impacting severely on children,
psychologically and physically.
While children feel the economic benefits of parents working abroad, various studies
however show that children “do not recognize this as a form of care.” Thus, children of
migrants are less socially adjusted.
Those with absent mother “tend to be more angry, confused, pathetic and more afraid
than other children
Absence of the mother could be the most disruptive in the life of the children.”
The feeling of neglect and abandonment is most felt by the eldest daughter who assumes
the mother’s role in the family as the father struggles to take the mother’s role.
Some report that such communication technologies as the mobile phone and the internet
have been instrumental in easing the anxiety arising from separation (Porio 2007). In
Madianou and Miller’s (2011) study of long-distance parenting among Filipina migrants in
the UK, mothers felt empowered by the mobile phone, as it allowed them to partially
reconstruct their roles as parents. Others contend that ICT use can heighten feelings of
anxiety because of increased awareness of how different their family situation is from the
norm (Miller, 2007).
47. Labor migration of parents also skews the values of children as they view it only
in terms of “money equivalent.” With no proper guidance from the parents, the
regular remittances lead to materialistic attitude of children.
Children of migrants are also vulnerable to abuse and violence with the parent’s
absence
Children of OFWs, particularly of migrant mothers, are more ambivalent
about the benefits of transnational communication. Parreñas (2005)
describes young adult children’s feelings of abandonment and longing for
deeper emotional intimacy with their mothers that cannot be appeased by
weekly calls over the mobile phone. Moreover, such connversations are
typically “commodified,” in that the discourse is dominated by the mothers’
admonitions that the child achieve in school or behave appropriately in
exchange for the mother’s sacrifices and economic contributions. Negative
feelings are allegedly diminished when children receive support from
extended families and communities, enjoy open communication with their
migrant parents, and clearly understand the limited financial options that led
their parents to migrate in the first place (ibid.).
48. FUTURE GOALS
1) Making our Department of Health recognize this silent epidemic
for more efficient information campaigns through its
endorsement
2 Acknowledgement that internet addiction as a
disorder or a pathology to reckon with as it
produces not just behavioral aberration but
molecular changes
2) Mapping epigenetic factors to identify
factors in the environment that creates phenotypic
changes in the genome as an alternative way of
prevention (i.e. maternal abandonment during the formative
years greatly predispose or make these
offspring and can affect succeeding generations more
vulnerable to this type of pathology
