Cybercrime Law timeline

CHEERS TO the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ), BusinessWorld and Rappler for providing a timeline on the passage of the Cybercrime Prevention Law.

PCIJ detailed the passage of the Cybercrime Prevention Law in the Senate and House of Representatives from 14th Congress to 15th Congress in their timeline. (14th Congress, The Morphing of the Cybercrime Prevention Act, 15th Congress, The Morphing of the Cybercrime Prevention Law)

BusinessWorld gave a straight-forward timeline on how the bill went from being under the radar of public attention to the biggest talk on the internet. (Anti-Cybercrime law timeline: The law that launched a thousand memes)

Rappler published a more extensive timeline explaining how “it took 11 years to pass the suspended Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, but it took only days to insert the law’s controversial provisions on online libel.” (The road to the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012)
