The Cyber Crime Law Seminar at San Beda College

ย 

When in manila,ย be sure to know the laws that are being implemented by the government. It is always best to be educated with these things.

ย 

We usually put a negative reaction towardsย rules.ย ย That is because most of it hinder us ย from freedom to do what we want right? But have we ever thought why laws were being created? They are not there just to annoy usย . ย Lawsย create disciplineย and to make us more responsible. ย It makes us become good citizens. This is just me looking on the brighter side of things.ย 

ย 

One law thatย created a stirย within the country is theย RA 10175-The Cyber Crime Law

ย 

How come many of us reacted quite differently regarding this law?

ย 

There are soย many reasons to discuss but only one major thing I know of, ย It’s because all Filipinos love the internet.

ย 

ย 

ย 

ย The Internetย is the number one leading major source of communication today.

I learned a lot of things during the event ย The Cyber Crimeย ย Law as I’ve come to understand, isn’t so bad after all.ย  Speakers Attorney Michelle Dy ( who was sent by Senator Angara to deliver a speech on behalf of him), NBI special ย crime investigator Joey Narciso, ย who specializes in ICT related offenses and cyberย crimes, and Jose Angelo David, a graduate of UP Diliman and is currently a 3rd year law student at San Beda College, was able to discuss and gave a better understandingย of it’s intentions. ย

ย  Unbelievable. If hackers could jeopardize information from NBI, Pag Ibig, SSS and other governmentย  institutions then it’s our fellow countrymen who will suffer. It’s our private information stored to most of their databases so don’t you think it’s quite alarming?

Our third speaker Jose Angelo David, who’s currently a third year Law student of San Beda Collegeย  discussed about freedom of speech. ย For me, ย freedom of speech gives us the right to voice out your opinions. You share ideas and information and willingly ย disclose it without hesitancy. ย And this is as ย per Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Though there are some instances where freedom of speech are being used carelessly. We used it to hurt someone, to create commotions which could lead to scandals and controversy. That’s why there are a lot of Libel cases especially in the media and entertainment industry.
