Get in the know: Republic Act 10175 – Cybercrime Prevention Act

Fellow Filipinos, please read and be informed before passing judgment.


It is not a threat to our human rights. It is not to be feared, only if you have the propensity to commit criminal acts. Yes the law need to further enhance its parameters and amendments, yes it is not perfect; IT CAN BE PERFECTED to protect our human right to be who we are on CYBER SPACE without being stalked, defamed, or having our identities stolen for some obscure reason. Here are the criminal acts and see if YOUR rights are hindered:

1. Illegal access (akyat bahay gang in cyber space)

2. Illegal interception (snatchers in cyber space)

3. Data Interference (salisi gang in cyber space)

4. System Interference (destruction of private property)

5. Cybersex (QC circle and Q.Ave in cyber space)

6. Misuse of devices (your friendly neighborhood pirates and hackers; production and sale of something not yours is still STEALING)

7. Cyber-squatting (yes, there are squatters in cyberspace)

8. Computer-related Forgery (recto replicators of cyber space)

9. Computer-related Identity Theft (recto replicators of cyber space)

10. Child Pornography (cyber food for our sexual predators)

11. Unsolicited Commercial Communications (SPAMMING/ you have a choice not to watch infomercials on TV you should also have the right not to waste time with unsolicited sales)

12. Libel (journalists should always be unbiased and present the truth objectively)

Rebelling against this law is waving your right for protection leaving you wandering cyberspace with the feeling that someone is out there to get you.

Faith Goals

Sometimes people never really see how near they are to the goal, they give up and quit without knowing they almost had it.


Now faith is being sure of what we hope for1 and certain of what we do not see.2
Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)

Guilty Pleasure

A little sneak...
Just a peek...
Not too much...
Not even a touch...

Failure

I have despised myself for so long for failing all the time. I incessantly kick myself while I envy those who succeed at everything. I question, what do they have that I do not? Am I really doomed to fail every time I try? Why do they get all the good stuff? Where can I get 'em?

Morning Routine

At the end of every day, I somehow successfully reply to and delete messages.

Next morning, it comes back twice as much...

Oh Please.

For those unsolicited blind dates....

Accountability.

I used to not care about anything...
A master of looking out for number one...

You...

You...
Chase all my fears away.

Brush With Death (nth time)

I never really thought of what I did that way.
People told me I was just lucky they were not armed.
Ugh, me and my impulses!

What Lies Ahead

"Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip, set up their tent, and fall asleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes his faithful friend. 
"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see." 
Watson replies, "I see millions of stars." 
"What does that tell you?" 

Cross Road

Facing a fork...

The other way is blocked...

Nowhere else to go...

No other choice...

KINDNESS

In Bible Leadership school, I had my first encounter with creating exhortations in one of our classes. The assignment was about Galatians 5:22-23, the Fruits of the Spirit. Each person in the class was to take on one of the fruits and I was given "Kindness" 

I have been compelled to share it here; hopefully, we start a trend of God's loving kindness.

This is a little of what I wrote back then, and a little of me now:

Once And For All

Dear Athena,

I hope this settles everything and we can put it to rest. It is way overdue and this discussion about what transpired has gone far too long; it has been quite a while now.

Thank You - Katinas



Just a little while longer I wanna pray
Can't get You off my mind so I came to say
Thank You Lord, just for loving me, alright
Many times I do forget
Every need that You have met
