5. HiStory
TheCyber crimePreventionAct of 2012 isthefirst law in the
Philippines which specifically criminalizes computer crime,which
prior to thepassageof thelaw had no strong legal precedent in
Philippinesjurisprudence. Whilelawssuch astheElectronic
CommerceAct of 2000(RepublicAct 8792) regulated certain
computer-related activities, theselawsdid not providealegal basis
for criminalizing crimescommitted on acomputer in general :
for example, Onel deGuzman, thecomputer programmer charged
with purportedly writing the I LOVE YOU computer worm, was
ultimately not prosecuted by Philippineauthoritiesdueto alack
of legal basisfor him to becharged under existing Philippines
lawsat thetimeof hisarrest.

"without knowledge" by most of thelawmakers, if you say something
bad against certain peopleon theInternet, you can becharged in
court.

in implementing thelaw--Thegovernment refusesto budge
on thislaw, saying thepublic should trust them to comeup
with theproper Implementing Rulesand Regulation to ensure
that therewon't beabusesof thelaw despitethevaguewording.

thesafety of distance, hecan watch thefireworksfly asthe
government screwsyou over. So yes, it can protect industries
