Please note that we are only able to provide some of the information you have requested for as  the following incident statistics is for the 1st and 2nd quarter of the current year. However, for the requested memorandums, we only released public advisories regarding phishing and credit card theft.

But more extensive information gathering relating to these kinds of incidents is already included in our roadmap, especially if there is a Philippines-related information that is affected.
