Hi all,
Two Philippine government websites http://mwss.gov.ph/ and
http://www.bsp.gov.ph was defaced by Anonymous Philippines.
As a fighter for internet freedom may we know what is our stand for this
matter in case members of the media will ask and
members of our community. Cyber Crime Law in the Philippines has flaws
specially on the libel part. Here is the statement of
the hackers to the government.
The media is also now reporting about this here Int'l groups warn
Philippines on anti-cybercrime
law<http://www.interaksyon.com/article/44236/intl-groups-warn-philippines-on-anti-cybercrime-law>
http://www.congress.gov.ph/press/<http://www.congress.gov.ph/press/details.php?pressid=6171>
The Philippine Government has just passed a bill that effectively ends the
Freedom of Expression in the Philippines.
The Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 is the most notorious act ever
witnessed in the cyber-history of the Philippines,
and the language of the bill is cunningly designed to make you think it
only applies to individuals who are deep in
cyber-technology and doesn't apply to everyone, but some part of the bill
basically says it can imprison anyone who
commits libel either by written messages, comments, blogs, or posts in
sites such as Facebook, Twitter, or any other
comment-spaces of other social media in the Internet.
New technologies give us new opportunities to connect with a lot of people
not only in this country but all over the world.
They can also provide us with a medium through which our political, public
and even private views can have an immediate and
direct impact on individuals, communities and even countries. It is just so
disappointing that our government, in adopting
our 80-year-old antiquated libel laws to the Cybercrime Law, again seems to
have retarded our march with the rest of the world
with respect to giving full force to the people's freedom of expression.
We ask for a revision of the said bill for the betterment of the Filipino
denizens.
Protect our Right to Freedom of Expression!

If you are asking whether we support website defacements, the answer is
