The Cyber Martial Law: The Plaintiff versus the Netizens of the Philippines
By Kimberly C. Magaway
What will you call a law that threatens to refute one‘s rights to freedom of expression
yet has the concept of protecting it [freedom of expression]? Unconstitutional? Maybe. How
about, a triggering device for netizens to participate in the issues, inside the cyber domain,
responsibly?
From House Bill No. 5808, authored by Representative Susan Yap-Sulit of the second
district of Tarlac and 36 other co-authors, and Senate Bill No. 2976, proposed by Senator
Edgardo Angara, the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 or R.A. No. 10175 existed as
President Benigno Aquino III, shortly after Corona‘s impeachment trial, signed its right for
passage last September 12, 2012 and took effect on October 3, 2012. This law ensures the
use of cyberspace in a responsible manner, as Edwin Lacierda, Presidential spokesperson,
echoed, “…ang sinasabi lang naman ng ating Pangulo is dapat din maging responsable ang
isang tao sa pagsulat sa cyberspace”. However, this law received innumerable protests, not
for its precept of preventing cybercrimes, but on the potential curtailment of the freedom of
expression. Cyberspace, to most Filipino netizens, is the only space where they can freely
express and share their opinions and views honestly and unfazed. On the other hand,
Lacierda, in defense, has said, “May mekanismo for responsibility that accompanies any
freedom, in this case, freedom of expression. We‘ve recognized that there are reasonable
limitations to freedom of expression”.
This Act has 8 chapters and 31 sections. It is addressed to several criminal offenses
such as illegal access, data interference, cybersquatting, cyber fraud, child pornography,
cybersex, spam, libel and so forth. With universal jurisdiction, its provisions apply to all Filipino
nationals regardless of the place of commission. Its jurisdiction also lies when a punishable
act is either committed within the Philippines, whether the erring device is wholly or partly
situated in the Philippines, or whether damage was done to any natural or juridical person who
at the time of commission was within the Philippines. Under the supervision of the Department
of Justice, the Act prompts the creation of a cybercrime unit formed from the National Bureau
of Investigation and the Philippine National Police empowered to exclusively handle cases
violating the Act. Under this unit is the collecting of real-time traffic data from Internet service
providers, require the disclosure of computer data within 72 hours after receipt of a court
warrant from a service provider, conduct searches and seizures of computer data and
equipment and mandates the establishment of special "cybercrime courts" which will handle
cases involving cybercrime offenses (offenses enumerated in Section 4(a) of the Act).
The protests against this act got even louder when some senate officials issued their
counterpoints to the effect of the Act. Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago said that the Act was
unconstitutional particularly on the statement enclosed in the provisions. Thus, she predicted
that the Supreme Court would point its being unconstitutional. She also said that the
construction of the provisions was vague. Other than being unconstitutional, Defensor viewed
the Act as an obstruction to the commerce of free ideas as opposed to the absolute
constitutional provisions stating: No law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech.
Since these provisions, as said, hinder the ‘freedom of expression in the Philippine
Activity 1.4
(1) Look for three concept papers from different fields of specialization (art, business,
philosophy, politics, religion, science, sports, home economics, agri-fishery, industrial arts and
information, communications technology) and (2) compare and contrast them using a Venn
Diagram. You may include “Cyber Martial Law: The Plaintiff versus the Netizens of the
Philippines” as one of the compositions. For other references, you may use those that are
found in the reading materials you have at home, or you may search the internet, just make
sure to cite your sources properly.

What I Can Do
Think of a certain topic that suits your interest and make a concept out of it following one
mode/pattern in presenting a concept. Present this through a video. During the presentation,
use visual/graphic aids for your concept paper to supplement understanding. Your concept
paper and concept paper presentation will be rated using the rubrics below. Meanwhile, for
those who have no source/gadget, you may present this activity in person. Inform your teacher
so he/she can set a schedule for your presentation.
