Hello! Any update?


Dear Markus Revvie Mendoza,

Greetings from the National Privacy Commission (NPC)!

Thank you for your request dated 8 January 2024 at 09:07 P.M. under Executive Order No. 2, s. 2016, on Freedom of Information (FOI) in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You are inquiring about the total number of reported cybercrime cases as well as data related to phishing incidents in the Philippines for the year 2023.

Response to your request

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance, the NPC does not have the information you requested. Please be advised that the mandate of the NPC is to administer and implement the Data Privacy Act of 2012 and to monitor and ensure compliance of the country with international standards set for data protection. Therefore, monitoring the number of cybercrime cases related to phishing incidents falls beyond the scope of the NPC's mandate and authority.

As we lack the capability to monitor in real-time cybercrime cases, you may consider seeking assistance from the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center at exedir1@cicc.gov.ph, Philippine National Police – Anti-Cybercrime Group at contact no.: 0968-867-4302, and the National Bureau of Investigation – Cyber Crime Division at contact no. 8252-6228.

For further assistance you may review the FAQ section of the eFOI site: http://efoi-ph.uc.r.appspot.com/help

Naga at info@privacy.gov.ph. Your review request should explain why you are dissatisfied with this response and should be made within 15 calendar days from the date you received this letter. We will complete the review and tell you about the result within 30 calendar days from the date we receive your review request.
