SECTION 1. This Act shall be known as the “Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012”.
The Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 is the first law to criminalize computer crime in the Philippines, which had a strong legal precedent in Philippines criminal law before the law was adopted. The law, divided in 31 chapters, criminalizes various kinds of offenses, among them illegal access(hacking), data interference, device abuse, computer- related crimes such as computer fraud, content crimes such as cybersex, spam and other offences. The law includes three sections, each divided by eight chapters.
Its provisions apply regardless of place of committee to all Filipino nationals. It is also the competence of any natural or legal person who was in the Philippines at the time of commission to act penalty, whether the wrong device had been fully or partly located in the Philippines or whether the damage had been made. The Regional Court of Justice is competent for cases involving infringements of the Law.
