Cyber bullying incidents will not dissipate anytime soon, so if you are at the receiving end and you want to take the legal route to address this, read on as the discussion on this post may help you.
- Update 1.8.2020 – Dark Social: A New Twist in Online Bullying
Relevant cyber bullying articles for your perusal:
- What to do when being (cyber) bullied
- What IS NOT cyber bullying

I was asked if there is an applicable law against cyberbullying since the anti bullying law only applies to minor, and the newly signed Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 (RA 10175) is silent about cyber bullying.
Though Cyber bullying is not included on the new cybercrime law, some of its provision may be applied to ‘adult’ victims seeking justice. These are:
- Online libel
- Identity theft if the perpetuator created and assumed the identity of a victim, and used said account to embarrass and harass the victim
- Hacking, if the perpetuator hacked and used the victims account to embarrass and harass the victim.
Aside from RA 10175, the Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act of 2009 or RA 9995 also applies. This, if the perpetuators use intimate personal images and videos to blackmail, extort or harass the victims.
For minors, aside from RA 10627, or the anti-bullying act of 2013, “Republic Act 7610 also known as Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act” can also be used to run after perpetuators of cyber bullying and bullying.
 
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.
There is a special challenge to identify the cyber bully 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)

hello there, I need some help about someone who posted my SSS ID, private conversations and the photo of my children who are minors with harrasing/embarassing captions on social media, can I ask what will I do to sue that person?
hi,
1. is to secure a screenshot of the said post using a ‘browser’, where the URL can be seen
2. if you know the perpetuator and you are living in same barangay, you may explore using that avenue first
3. go to the PNP womens and childrens desk to lodge a complaint

consult a lawyer so they can evaluate if either data privacy or cyber crime law was violated
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.

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… Read more »

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.

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.

Binabaliktad kc niya kami daw ang gumagawa noon kahit wla naman kaming ginagawa.

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:

hello po., im currently experiencing cyberbully. a person using dummy accounts to pm me saying things like panget and sending pictures of zoomed pictures of my face with different name captions., threatening me he/she will send message to my family what kind of person I am. how can i solve this? pls help
dummy account of what platform? If Facebook, they cannot send message w/o you allowing it
yes but i can see it in message request. he/she made an account of me to send message on me.here is the link of that account with my picture and my name Joeyhttps://www.facebook.com/pangetsi.joey
just ignore it. or report it to facebook so they can take down a fake account.
i did report it but facebook said does not violate their terms.
Did you tell them that they stole your identity?
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

You can visit the women’s and childrens desk of the nearest PNP to report this incident.
They change everything in my facebook even my email add and password.okey sir thank you for your advice..
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.
More info here: http://asksonnie.info/what-to-do-when-cyberbullied/
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.

Hi Sheila,

hi 🙂 I just read a conversation of a certain people talking about me somewhat backbitting at me I read something that is really below the belt already is that a cyber crime already? if it is how can I report them? they we’re actually planning to poison me yet the another person refuse to her plan. how cab i teach them a lesson ?

Make sure you have a screenshot of the conversation, then proceed to the nearest PNP women’s desk in your area. They will be able to help you from there.
Please keep me posted.
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.
