An official from the Department of Information and Communications Technology on Wednesday said the Philippines is now ''significantly better'' when it comes to addressing cyberattacks. ''We're significantly better now, our detection mechanisms are there, our protective systems are there and you will notice that we're also sharing information with our allies," said DICT Undersecretary Jeffry Ian Dy.

But we are 118 million Filipinos," Dy explained."So, I think we need to improve this by for example having a cybersecurity law that will mandate even the private sector to report to us, if there is a cybersecurity incident,'' he added.Recently, the National Bureau of Investigation said it arrested three individuals who were allegedly behind the hacking of several private and government websites, banks, and Facebook accounts.
