MANILA, Philippines—Justice Secretary Leila De Lima on Wednesday said the complaint filed by a 17-year-old girl who invoked the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 after her alleged sex video has gone viral can still push through for violation of Republic Act 9995 or the Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act.

The victim filed the case with the Department of Justice last October 3. It is the first complaint filed for violation of the controversial law.

De Lima said they have also referred the complaint to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to determine other actions to take.

At the same time, De Lima said they will continue accepting complaints for violation of the Cybercrime Prevention Act even if there is a 120 day temporary restraining order issued by the Supreme Court against its implementation.

“But we will tell them please have patience because the Cybercrime law is not yet in effect but we will evaluate the complaint if there are other laws violated,” De Lima said.

Yun naman pala–Alam na alm nyo yan mga nakapag aral kayo sa pagka abogado–yun magaling na nag singit–soto copier –ang umepal ng husto kaya nasira.

Meron ng batas para protektahan ang kababaihan at bata laban sa pang aabuso at kalaswaan—-

IISA LANG ANG PAKAY NG MGA NAG SINGIT–

Pang resbak nyo lang yan hindi nyo gustong komentaryo

Kapag si GMA / corona at mga kaalyado pa nya –wla kayong reklamo sa mga batikos

ngayun mag eelection, magtatago kayo sa mga palusot na batas?

Poor Daldalima.
Trying so hard to justify the implementation of this despotic law.
The more she insists, the stronger the belief that this administration is desperate to silence its critics.

The easiest way is for de Lima to disregard the TRO, she’d tried that before.

how can a cybercrime be a crime when it’s really just a stream of 0′s and 1′s? unless somebody has binary thinking process, i.e. kkk or not-kkk. noykapon has that ability.

“how can a cybercrime be a crime when it’s really just a stream of 0′s and 1′s?”

probably the same way pron on film is just celluloid plastic, or just magnetized medium between two layers of tape.

and that slander is uttered, which stops the moment sound stops.

maybe it has something to do with the action rather than the medium.

There are parts of the law that may be useful but there are ones that are unconstitutional.

I suggest, take out the bad ones and keep the ones. How hard could that have been to do? That actually should have been done before it was signed into law.
