In a developing country that only passed a law on cybercrime years ago, many chinks still remain in the system crippling for progress enforcement. Nonetheless, Philippines is working its way to be a bully-free country. Here are developments on policies regarding cyberbullying law:
Expanded Anti-Bullying Act by Hon. Lucy Marie Torres-Gomez (HB 452)
Anti-MOP Bullying Act of 2016 by Hon. Rodel M. Batocabe, Hon. Alfredo A. Garbin, Jr., and Hon. Christopher S. Co (HB 803)
Anti-Office Bullying Act of 2016 by Hon. Rodel M. Batocabe, Hon. Alfredo A. Garbin, Jr., and Hon. Christopher S. Co (HB 815)
Anti-Cyberbullying Act of 2015 by Rep. Rolando G. Andaya, Jr. (HB 827)
Anti-Bullying Act of 2013 (R.A. 10627)
Cyberbullying is defined as a young persons tormenting, threatening, harassing or embarrassing using the internet or other digital technologies. The psychological and emotional outcome of this is similar to real-life-bullying. The only difference is, face-to-face bullying ends when physical contact ends, for cyber, there is no escape. Bullying can easily affect both the bully and the victim, and that’s why the government in the Philippines is working hard to crack down on it. The latest measures include the signing the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013, which criminalizes any act of bullying or cyberbullying that happens in the country
