Persons found guilty of cybersex face a prison term or a fine of at least P200000 but not exceeding P1 million by the Prison Mayor (6 yrs and 1 day until 12 years). Child pornography through computer is subject to a one-off penalty above that set out in RA 9775, or in the 2009 Anti-child Pornography Act. The RA 9775 provides for fines of between P50,000 and P5 million to those who produce, disseminate, or publish child pornography and for maximum life imprisonment of 20 and 40 years.
Individuals convicted of unwanted communication face the arrest of a mayor, or a fine of at minimum P50,000, not exceeding P250,000 or both.
