About Cybercode.ph: Building a Trusted Philippine Technology Law and Cybersecurity Knowledge Resource
Cybercode.ph is an independent Philippine technology law, cybersecurity, data privacy, cybercrime, AI governance, digital transformation and business compliance knowledge platform created to make complex digital rules easier to find, understand and use.
The website provides structured explanations of Philippine laws, regulations, court decisions, agency guidance, cybersecurity practices, digital-business obligations, incident-response procedures, technology policies and practical compliance resources.
Our goal is to help individuals, businesses, employees, online sellers, technology teams, compliance professionals, researchers and decision-makers understand the rule, the risk and the practical next step.
Cybercode.ph is developed and managed by Anton Sheker and Marjo Villarosa.
Our Mission
To make Philippine technology law, privacy, cybersecurity and digital compliance more accessible, understandable, traceable and useful.
Digital questions rarely fit neatly into one law or one government agency. A single incident may involve the Data Privacy Act, Cybercrime Prevention Act, Internet Transactions Act, electronic evidence rules, consumer protection requirements, agency guidance and practical security controls. Cybercode.ph organizes these materials into a connected knowledge system.
Why Cybercode.ph Was Created
Philippine technology regulation is spread across statutes, implementing rules, Supreme Court decisions, National Privacy Commission issuances, DICT and CICC guidance, DTI rules, BIR requirements and other government sources. Readers often know the problem they face but not which law, regulator or procedure applies.
Cybercode.ph was created to bridge that gap by connecting legal rules with practical situations such as data breaches, hacked accounts, online scams, AI use at work, e-commerce compliance, digital contracts and business cybersecurity.

Our Editorial and Research Standards
We Prioritize Primary Sources
Cybercode.ph prioritizes primary Philippine sources, including LawPhil, the Official Gazette, Supreme Court decisions, the National Privacy Commission, DICT, CICC, DOJ, NBI, PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group, DTI, BIR, PSA, Congress and the Senate.
We Distinguish Different Types of Authority
We distinguish enacted law from implementing rules, agency guidance, pending legislation, court interpretation and editorial explanation. Bills and proposals are not presented as enacted law.
We Avoid Unsupported Conclusions
Where the law is unsettled or official sources conflict, we identify the uncertainty rather than presenting a false definitive answer.
We Provide Dates and Context
Time-sensitive guides are materially reviewed against current official sources. Important regulatory dates, legislative status and recent judicial developments are stated whenever they affect the answer.
We Correct Material Errors
Material factual, legal or source errors should be corrected when identified, with affected guidance updated when the underlying law or official guidance changes.

Cybercode.ph Is Not a Law Firm
Cybercode.ph provides general educational and research information. It does not provide individualized legal advice, create an attorney-client relationship, replace official government instructions or substitute for advice from a qualified lawyer, cybersecurity professional, data protection officer, accountant or other appropriate specialist.
Responsible Use of Information
Readers should verify important deadlines, filing requirements, penalties and regulatory obligations against the current official source, especially where a matter involves litigation, regulatory reporting, cybersecurity incidents, financial loss or personal-data exposure.
