Read: Why Schools Should Have A Cyber Wellness Program
Cyberbullying is not included on the new cybercrime law, but there are pending bills filed in both houses of congress on this.
update: cyberbullying is part of the anti-bullying act of 2013 but it only covers students up to high school. Adult victims can use the other provisions of the cybercrime law, like libel and identity theft.
For minors, aside from the newly approved law, it’s also widely believed that “Republic Act 7610 also known as Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act” is recognized as one of the possible laws that can be used by cyberbullying victims, specially if the act is done outside the school context.
ARTICLE VI- Other Acts of Abuse
Section 10. Other Acts of Neglect, Abuse, Cruelty or Exploitation and Other Conditions Prejudicial to the Child’s Development. –
(a) Any person who shall commit any other acts of child abuse, cruelty or exploitation or to be responsible for other conditions prejudicial to the child’s development including those covered by Article 59 of Presidential Decree No. 603, as amended, but not covered by the Revised Penal Code, as amended, shall suffer the penalty of prison mayor in its minimum period.
For adults, they can use the provisions of the cybercrime law, like online libel and identity theft if a false account was set-up to perpetuate the act.
There is a special challenge to identify the cyberbully since bullying can be done anonymously, or hide behind a pseudo online personality. But according to PH law enforcement groups, they have the capability to trace the identity of the anonymous bully.
As the pioneer in advocating cyber wellness in the Philippines, we believe one way to reduce if not totally prevent bullying and other cyber abuse incidents is “educate” stakeholders about cyber wellness.
Read: What is Cyber Wellness?
Cyber wellness education is meant to inform stakeholders of the risks associated with the use of smartphone/mobile gadgets, internet and social media, and equip them with a framework to effectively
- set-up a policy against abuses and guidance on how to use said tools for value adding purposes (school admin)
- set up procedure on how to handle bullying and cyber abuses, and how to help victims. (school admin)
- develop a curriculum or training program for students, teaching and non teaching staff; and learning session for parents. (school admin)
- use practical approaches to set-up house rules about internet and gadget use, and engage kids about gaming and social media (parents/guardians)
- avoid online behaviours that will expose users to risks, observe online ethics and practice online safety behaviours (end user/students)
Here are some of our cyber wellness engagements with teachers as part of their faculty development seminar, and stand alone learning sessions for students, parents, and guidance counsellors.

Hello sir! Thought you could help.
There’s this person in our office who’s posting sa fb mga fake stories about me and part of his post is mga pagbabanta like ipapademolish nya daw ako outside sa office and his friends are commenting na if he needs a hitman, to ask them for help. Though his posts didnt mention my name and he justs used a codename. One of our common friends sent him a PM asking who he’s referring to and he answered that it’s me. I’d like to know sir if that can be used to file a legal case against him. Thanks for your help sir
if your common friend will stand with you to testify and give evidence that it is you who are being discussed

Per my lawyer friend, you can file a complaint via the Philippine embassy, by way of a consularized SPA and a complaint-affidavit. Both documents must be consularized.
Good day! Sir I am 43 years old an OFW here in the Middle east I experience the same as what the others here, one lady I already identified her as an old rival of my wife to their past life now repeatedly sending some foul chat message about my wife that she said my wife has an affair with the other guy sometimes she said that that the guy is her husband. Even she has no proof for this alleged cheating. Many times I reported it to Facebook because she created lots of accounts in Facebook and sometimes she used our family name. I really don’t know what to do as a victim of this women, Sir what can I do to stop this destructive doing of this lady because I’m here in Middle East and I cannot file any blotter or complain regarding to this incident. Thanks and good day!
your wife can file in your behalf
Good day. May nagcreate ng fake Facebook account ng daughter ko at may Intention talagang siraan sya. May nagsend sakin ng screenshot ng group chat ng isang concerned friend na classmate ng anak ko Kaya nalaman namin Kung sino gumawa. Nung una nagpanggap ang kkclassmate nya na sya ang Nanay at sinesendan ng threat ang anak ko na ipapabarangay sya at ng ako na ang kumausap ay bigla na akong nakablock. Ang reason nila is may ginawa din daw na fake account ang anak ko Kaya binalikan lang daw nila which is impossible dahil bantay ko gadgets ng anak ko at magkasama kami all the time dahil full time hands on ako sa kanila at wala akong kasambahay. My daughter and Yung group ng classmate nya na gusto syang siraan ay between 10-11 yrs. Old. Pumunta ako sa school pero ayaw nila mangielam dahil summer class daw kaya hindi nila saklaw pero lahat na involve na Bata ay dun sa school nagaaral. Ano po Ang pwede ko pong gawin?
if the school will not act on that, proceed to Dep Ed Division of City Schools

wala pa pong batas para sa cyber bullying case involving adults. meron po tayo cybercrime and data privacy law. please consult a lawyer po para matulunguan kayo ng husto
(1)what if an individual nagpost ng sensitive convo of a girl sa mga lalaki nya pero dinelete dn po and nagsend ng messages sa mga kakilala and fam ng girl about sa mga panlalaki nya, anong pananagutan ng concerned individual kahit deleted na yung posts?
(2) anong pananagutan ng nanay pag nagsesend sya ng mga nudes sa mga lalaki nya and kasma pa ang anak nyang lalaki sa picture
malaki po, please consult a lawyer
Hi sir just want to ask if consider cyber bullying po ba na pino post nila yung picture mo thru fb,like posting private convo using your images in facebook at pinapahiya ka nila.. They accusing me false statement they keep sharing it para madami mkakita at para mpahiya ako sa marami.. Im 24 and i dont know if my age is in the bracket for that case kasi as i read the prev. Messages this only for minor.. I just wanna ask if what is the first thing to do to solve this , is it also considered a cyber bullying?? Looking forward for your response. Thank you.
Focus on other laws that will be applicable in your situation in the absence of Cyberbullying or bullying law for adults. Check the cybercrime and the data privacy law if it applies to your situation.
consult a lawyer so they can evaluate if either data privacy or cyber crime law was violated
night Hi po Sir Sonny . I have a case po kasi hope makakuha ako advice from you . I badly needed a passport kaya lumapit na ako sa mga for rush online booking sa facebook . I found one that promised me she’ll give me an appointment on a certain date but i have to pay her service fee. Desperate na kasi ako sir makakuha ng appointment so I paid her. Hindi po ako naischedule ng appointment on the said date kaya i requested for a refund po and rated one star on her page para maging aware yung future clients nya to set their expectation. Unfortunately sir pinost po ng page yung mga details ko . She posted my FB account in public ,Flight details and my personal information such us birthdate , mothers maiden name and other crucial details . ano po ba pede maikaso sakanila? at risk na kasi ang security ko since lahat po ng info ko is pinost nya sa public …
report the matter and seek help sa Data Privacy Commission. the one shared are sensitive information
May kaso po kasi kami ngayong apat na magkakaibigan. Nagumpisa po to sa kaibigan ko na buntis that time ng 6months and medyo crtical po, isa sa means of living nya e ang online selling po ng relo. Bale pagka post nya po sa isa sa mga group ng bentahan page sa Tarlac may nagmessage po sa kanya na magoorder daw po, eh hndi naman po alam ng kaibigan ko na minor ung nag order. So nung time po na andyan na yung item at immessage yung nagorder, bigla nalang po naka block na siya. Ang ginawa po nung supplier nya na kaibgan din namin e siya yung nagpost nga na hinahanap yung buer with picture po. Ako nman po at yung isa kong kasama pang nakasuhan e nagcomment lang naman po. Come by Jan 10 or 11, 2018 nakatanggp nalang po ako ng letter from barangay na may reklamo nga po ng pambbully nga daw po. So at first wala tlga akong idea kung sino at ano yun, nung dumating po ako sa barangay, biglang nasa loob po ng justice hall e pamilya nga nung bata at nung kaibgan kong isa. Since overwhelmed din po ako sa situation, i asked for a copy ng birthcert as a proof na minor yung bata then bigla pong nagalit yung kaibgan nung nanay at sumigaw na po sa loob ng justice hall. After a week nalaman nalang namin na may naissue ng Certificate of File Action na pong naissue sa nanay na hindi daw po kami sumipot sa barangay pero isang beses ko lang nman po silang nakausap at that time e nasa ibang name pa nga po yung complainant. At hndi rin po kami nakaharap ng nanay na kumpleto kaming apat. Nagbitiw po ng salita yung nanay na magkaubusan daw po ng pera at my konesyon sila sa NBI daw po. Ngyon po by March mid month nakatanggap po ako ng subpeona regarding nga sa Cyberbullying with RA 7610. Ano po bang pwede namin gawin?
Since kasuhan na po yan, it’s better to consult a lawyer. You may go to PAO (Public Attorneys Office) to seek help
Hi tanong ko lang po. Sino po pwedeng lapitan at ano pong pwedeng ikaso? Pls give me some advice. I Don’t know what to do. Eto po yung situation. Pinagbibintangan po ako na nagpopost daw ng pictures ni girl online. She posted it on her facebook account pointing my name she post na ‘sya nalang daw ang mag uupload ng mga pictures nya para hindi na daw ako mahirapan magkalat. I don’t even know what she’s trying to say on her post. At mag uupload pa daw sya ulit para hindi ako mahirapan. Someone send me the screenshot of her post. Naka block ako sakanya pero nag post sya blaming me that I’am spreading her photos. I don’t know if it is nude or what? Naloka ako nang bongga. Nananahimik ako biglang may mang bibintang saakin. Pakiramdam ko nasira ako ng bongga sa madaming tao at nasira nya ang privacy ko. Pls help me thankyou!
If filing a case is your direction, best to consult a lawyer on that aspect. But here are the things you need to consider:
(1) Have you tried reporting the said account to Facebook yet.
(2) If both of you are not minor, the anti-bullying law does not apply. Instead the cyber crime law may be applied if online libel is involved.
(3) If you know the person and you are both living in the same barangay, you may try to resolve the issue at the barangay level first
(4) You can also go to either NBI or PNP Cybercrime unit.
hello sonnie, Magtatanong lang po sana ako may isang tao pong tinuturo po ako na may kasalanan nang pang iiscam online at napatunayan na wala po tlga ako kasalanan sa nangyari at hindi po ako ang taong yun ngayon kung ano anong masasama ang sinasabi niya sa akin dinadamay na niya pati magulang ko ano po ba dapat ko gawin completo po ako sa mga screenshot salamat po.
you may get legal advise from PAO (public attorney’s office) or any lawyer if online libel applies in your situation.
hello sonnie, my nephew is facing threats from his classmate. About a year ago, they have private group chat with some of his friends. Then someone leaked the private group convo to the girl. Well, they were somehow bashing her at that time,. But since that was a private convo of them, they ask for an apology to the girl. they did not bash her in public whatsoever.
Now, shes threatening again that he will leak those convo to the socmed and to give shame to my nephew and his friends. we are looking to file complaint because of this, and if cyberbullying can also be an angle. Or can we use the anti wire tapping law against the leak of the private convo?.
if the kids involve are minor, you may report the harassment to the school concerned. if adults, you may proceed to they cybercrime unit of either NBI or PNP
kung binigay mo young password, wala pede I kaso. And anytime you can change the password.. if that is not the case, hacking yun.

kung involve ang bata, pede kayo lumapit sa childrens and womens protection desk ng PNP. Pede din kayo lumapit sa cybercrime unit ng PNP (camp crame) at NBI (taft)
First, baranggay level muna sila. If di naayos, you need to consult a lawyer on how to proceed. Libre po sa public attorneys office (PAO).
you need the help of NBI or PNP cybercrime unit to do that.
hi.. ask ko lang.. ano po valid evidences para mag file ng cyber bullying… paano po valid po ba lhit na wala nmn binangit na name .. bali nah away po kase unf kamag anak ki. bali ung pinsan ko po ay nagcomment s picTuRE ng isa png pinsan namin.. dummy account po gamit. wala nmn po minention n pangLan .. pwde po b kmi mag file ng case laban sknya..
kung di pinapangalanan, medyo malabo ng konti
ang cyberbullying po for minors lang po, ilan taun na po ba tayo? Anu po exactly ang ginawa sa inyo?
ang cyber bullying po ayon sa batas ay ginawa ng minor at ang biktima po ay minor.
sa mga adults po, barangayan po muna, kung hindi ma resolve, tsaka pede tignan kung pede ikonsider na online libel
Hi I have a question po.for adults po for cyber bulying can you give me some details po kung ano po pwedeng kaso if someone leaks private informations like pictures or videos kahit live with out permission po sa taong yun what will be the case na pwedeng kaso po for those people. . …. medyo malabo nga lang po itong sasabihin ko eh …. How about if a person doesn’t know that there’s something is happening na sa kanya pero walang na syang idea na people is messing her life and people who she know and she don’t know bullies her na their laughing at her looking at her and looking at their phones and the laughing at her…….making fun of her…..with out reason pero may nalileak na palang pictures or live videos sa kanya. Pero yun taong yun walang other proof na mahanap na site pero lahat po ng tao alam and wala syang ideas kung ano meron sa kanya in the internet she’slloking but she cant find and no ones helping her. Do you have some ideas how to look for proof kung may nageexist po. What she needs to do po, actually the person is an adult.
you need someone to attest na they FB live you and disclose private info, and add to that evidence to substantiate it. w/ your story, there seems to be violation on your right to privacy, but you need to discuss this further w/ a lawyer.
As for the digital footprints that you’re trying to get, if you are outside their circle, you cannot view whatever they’re discussing or sharing.
Feel free to seek help with the cybercrime division of either PNP or NBI if you feel helpless.
question lang po..cyber crime or cyber bullying na po ba ang paninirang puri sa facebook?? kc nakakaranas ng depression ang kapatid ko sa ibang bansa dahil sa mga kamag anak nmn dahil nag ppost ng picture at kung ano anong paninirang puri ang gpinopost nila.. thanks
Hi, I replied to this already via your FB comment. Thanks
pwede po
Itatanong ko lang kung matatawag bang cyberbullying ung ipost ko ang subpoena sa facebook? Nabrgy po kc ako at hindi ko nmn alam na bawal pla.. Binura ko na ung post ko pero sinasabe ng nagrereklamo sken na cyberbullying po yun at pinahiya ko raw sya s social media.. Samantalang pano sya mapapahiya gayong ako ang nirereklamo nya at sya ang nagrereklamo? Pakisagot po . salamat.
anu ba sabi ng baranggay? at anu ba yung original na reklamo sayo?
Sana po masagot nyo.. Un lang ang gusto ko malaman kung matatawag bang cyberbullying ung pagpopost ko ng subpoena na binura ko na pagkatapos ng unang patawag smen s brgy..at anung dpt kong gawin. .
wala pa pong cyber bullying na batas para sa mga adults, ang applicable lang po ay online libel ng cybercrime act. Lawyer po ang makakapagsabi kung yung mga elemento ng pinost ninyo (kahit na binura na) ay papasok sa online libel
Hello, meron po kasing gumagamit ng mga photos namin ng kaibigan ko. Gumawa ng page and saying na pokpok kami kahit hindi naman. Then gumawa rin ng dummy account then nagsesend siya ng mga link sa mga pinopost niya na mga photos namin na hindi naman talaga kami ganun. How can you help us? Kilala namin yung gumagawa nun at may mga screenshots ako na siya nga dahil sa mga posts niya. Paano po namin iproprocess or paano niyo po kami matutulungan?? Binabaliktad kc niya kami daw ang gumagawa noon kahit wla naman kaming ginagawa.
You can proceed to the women and children protections desk. There is one in the nearest police precinct in your area
Hello sir! I just want to ask where should I file a complaint. Someone posted our picture on her Facebook wall (it is a group photo) with a caption to humiliate and embarrass us online. The photo has a visible image my school-aged daughter since she is part of the group picture. What legal action can we take on this? Thanks!
Hi,
If your daughter is a minor, you may visit the women and children’s desk of the PNP
Hi Sir! Please help my 11 years old daughter about cyberbullying. Someone created a facebook page using her name and profile picture. This person is sending messages to my daughters classmate, pretending to be her and saying a lot of bad things to the recipients of his/her messages. Maraming classmates na po ang nagalit sa anak ko even yung mga nakakabasa ng pinapakalat na messages ay iba na din po ang tingin sa anak ko. Nagtataka sya dahil wala naman syang ginawa and we found out that someone used her name and picture and created a facebook page even other account. Sobra na pong naapektuhan ang anak ko at hindi ko na pinababasa sa kanya ang mga messages/comments and posts ng poser at ng mga kakilala nya dahil ayaw ko po na maapektuhan sya lalo na ang kanyang pag-aaral. I already reported the incident to her school. Ano po ang pwede namin gawin sa case na ito?
Question po, may facebook account po ba yung anak ninyo? Kasi dapat wala since below 13 pa sya. Meantime here’s what you can do po.
(1) Report to Facebook that a minor is being harassed by someone else, creating a fake account. Emphasize on her being a minor
(2) Follow-up with the school for their course of action for (1) invesitgation for the fake account, (2) what to do w/ students harassing her on FB
(3) Go to the nearest Women and Childrens Desk of PNP (they have one in every precinct) and get advice on how to proceed.
May facebook po sya and it’s being used also for any updates about school homework, programs and activities. Nagreport na po ako sa facebook about the fake account pero wala pong option to type a message explaining the situation.
You may follow the instructions here:

Thank you po for your guidance and help!

Hi i have been bullied with this poser not using his own name calling me names mostly everyday. I want to know this person that way i can file a case against him or her. Wher do i go to report this. Thank you.
Hi,
You can go directly to either PNP Cybercrime unit at Camp Crame, or NBI Cybercrime unit at Manila. Alternately, you can use this online form to submit a report:
http://acg.pnp.gov.ph/main/?page_id=1047
Can i file charges to someone who illegally access and use my social media account and start sending offensive messages to the people in my account?
Of course po. You can visit either PNP Cybercrime at Camp Crame or NBI Cybercrime at Taft ave.
Bullying is indeed everywhere. Thing is, if it is done online, many people will see it and the damage to the victim is even larger. It is good that we have this kind of protection for the Filipinos especially that many are experiencing cyber bullying.
Hi, is there a legal charge when a professor is bullying a student? I’m experiencing this right now.
If HS and below, it’s part of the child protection policy. If under and post graduate studies, you have to refer to the school COC for an administrative case. If harassment is being done online, the provision of online libel of the cybercrime law may be used.
Hi sir. I just wanna ask lang po. Kung tama po bang nararamdaman kong nabubully ako through fb? Kasi someone posted my photo and say bad things about me. And they also got a photo of my family. Pinost din po nila yun. I really need your advice sir. Ano pong pwede kong gawin? And ano pong pwede kong ilaban sa case na to? Thanks po.
Pa screenshot po and specific post, then you can proceed to women and childrens desk ng PNP. That is, after you have reported the post to FB and hindi wala nangyari.
Hi Sir. I have the same case as Aprylle. Someone created a fraud account under my name saying bad things about me. What is the first step to take to file a complaint against that person?
Hi @katherinesecusana:disqus
Sorry for late reply, been busy lately. Anyway here’s what you can do:
1. Keep a screenshot of the page.
2. Report the page to the FB.
3. Report the matter to (1) Women and Childrens desk of PNP and (2) NBI Cybercrime unit or (3) PNP Cybercrime unit.
If you will go to PNP Cybercrime, look for Ivy and tell her that I referred you
Hi Sir,
Thanks you so much for responding, it is indeed a big help.
May I also please know where the PNP cybercrime is located and if I need to pay anything?
Regards,
Kaye
Camp Crame for PNP Cybercrime or Taft Ave for NBI Cybercrime unit

hi ! i just want to ask if there’s any possibility to trace the person who hacked my sister’s FB account? yung hacker kase up until now ginagamit yung fb ng kapatid ko, then sinisiraan nya yung kapatid ko.. i already warned that person na tumigil na but wala syang takot. so i want to make an action for that. so ano po bang mga kaso ang pwede naming isampa sa kanya? ano ano yung mga steps to file a case regards on this issue? thank you.
Hi Jaymen,
It’s possible to trace but only the authorities (NBI/PNP) have the capability to do that. You can visit them anytime to file complaint or seek advice. Here’s what you can do for the meantime, report the hacked account to Facebook so they can take action.

hmm pano po namin marereport sa Facebook? ee di na po namin mabuksan.. iniba po ata yung password nung account ng sister ko.
mula sa log-in page, click mo yung forgot your password at sundan mo instruction kung papaano ma recover yung account na na-hack.
mula sa facebook account mo, puntahan mo yung sinasabi mo na post or pic na naka ka harass at i report mo sa facebook
patulong po, ako po ay napicturan sa trabaho ng taong hindi ko kilala, at naka post sa FB pero mukhang fake ang name na gamit niya. nilagay pa niya real name ko sa FB para ipahiya ako. anong pwede ko gawin at anong case pwede ifile?
Hi Nic,
Ang una mo pwede gawin is to report the said picture sa Facebook mismo at sabihin mo this picture is taken without consent, and the picture is meant to embarass you. Kung sa work eto, get help from HR too.

Hello po! What if I was accused na nambully ako but the truth is hindi ko naman talaga intention na ibully yung classmate ko I mean parang katuwaan lang naman sana but it was taken seriously though yung pinost long picture is di naman malaswa and di ko naman po minura or nagtrashtalk. I’ve apologize naman po sakanya and to her parents but their pursuing to punish me na matanggal ako sa ranking because of that.
Hi. I have experienced being bullied in FB community. She was creating accounts under my name and pictures. She was threading stories about me. She was using a different name on FB even when texting us. Puro paninirang puri at death threats to my family were send to me. What should I do. to track her and find her? Can i file sue about this? thanks
Hi April,

hi i want to ask. is it possible to trace whre teh FB came from? kasi ang bata ay 8 years old so menor de edad at ginagamit nya ang name ng bata sa facebook tapos kunwari ang bata nag cocoment na REST in peace papa. tapos saying that this is my father he leaves us together with his mistress. that is the caption of the picture .the mother of boy is a TEACHEr.
the husband is supporting, because of jobless he cannot support , but he is looking for a job. and he will support the children once he finds a job
so being a teacher and a mother she needs to protect the welfare of the child.
so the DEPED has the possibility to removed her license as a teacher?
please advise
I’m sorry po. Hindi ko po maintindihan yung iba tanong. But as for the FB kung ma trace, pwede po yan pero ang may kakayahan lang po ay ang PNP or NBI Cybercrime Division. Pero mahaba po na proseso yan. Please read this po for details:

Hi. I just joined a facebook community group. In this group they had a discussion where in they post pictures of a vehicle not properly park with plate number clearly shown in it. They tagged this discussion as “stupid drivers” and calling them “mga ngengot”. Can this be consider as a cyber bullying?
the elements of cyberbullying may include: deliberate and repeated act, use of technology to cause an embarrassment, fear and loss of dignity to another person. But in your example, only plate numbers are shown. Car owners and drivers are not necessarily one person.

(1) Does the current law on bullying “really” criminalize bullying? as a whole? with that, i mean including school bullying. of course, they would call it juvenile delinquency and so no imprisonment and just rehab, etc. (2) But other than school bullying, is there a penalty, like imprisonment, on such acts?
the anti-bullying law only covers high school students and below. school principals, after evaluation of the case and factors affecting juvenile incidents, and after proper consultation with lawyers and other stakeholders, may file a criminal case IF act falls under the revised penal code.
for adults, other laws may apply. like some provisions of cybercrime law may be used to addressed cyber bullying.
