Computer crime or cybercrime, is any crime that involves

a computer and a network. The computer may have been
used in the commission of crime, or it may be the target.
Such crime may threaten a nation's security and financial
health. Issues surrounding these type of crime have become
high-profile, particularly those surrounding hacking,
copyright infringement, child pornography, and child
grouping. There are also problems of privacy when
confidential information is intercepted or disclosed.

Bully- to frighten, hurt, or threaten a smaller or weaker
person.

believe our government had a slow actions about this kind

they preferred not to report the incident.

Prevention Act against Cybercrime

The Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, officially recorded
as Republic Act No. 10175, is a law in
the Philippines approved on September 12, 2012. It aims to
address legal issues concerning online interactions and
the Internet in the Philippines. Among the cybercrime
offenses included in the bill
are cybersquatting, cybersex, child pornography, identity
theft, illegal access to data and libel. While hailed for
penalizing illegal acts done via the Internet that were not
covered by old laws, the act has been criticized for its
provision on criminalizing libel, which is perceived to be a
curtailment in freedom of expression.
On October 9, 2012, the Supreme Court of the
Philippines issued a temporary restraining order, stopping
implementation of the Act for 120 days, and extended it on
5 February 2013 "until further orders from the court."
On May 24, 2013, The DOJ announced that the contentious
online libel provisions of the law had been dropped.
On February 18, 2014, the Supreme Court ruled that section
5 of the law decision was constitutional, and that sections 4C-3, 7, 12 and 19 were unconstitutional.
