Ms. Tanganga
Cebu City,
Philippines
Mr. Waylingaw was your boyfriend who was a computer expert. While he was
playing or surfing his laptop computer through Facebook, he accidentally released
and sent to you a corrupted file called as I Care for You Virus. When you opened the
attached file that contained the virus, it infected and caused damage to your
computer. It instantly duplicated and emailed itself to all the addresses in your email
address book.
The virus changed or omitted graphic files, pictures, videos and music files to
an infected virus and would render them useless. Moreover, it redirected the users
Internet browser to a malicious website.
The issue in your case is whether or not, based on the above facts, Mr.
Waylingaw is liable for his acts even if he has no intention or he has lack of knowledge
about the virus.
Based on the aforesaid provision, it is clear that Mr. Walaylingaw can be made
liable of violating the Anti-Cybercrime Law even if he only acted in negligence.
Moreover, any person who commits an act in violation to the said provision is
criminally liable and can be charged under paragraph 1, Section 8, of the same Act
that provides:
By these circumstances, you may file a criminal action against Mr. Walaylingaw.
However, the law also provides that any evidence procured without a valid warrant or
beyond the authority of the same shall be inadmissible for any proceeding before any
court or tribunal. Thus, the burden of proof lies to the person who seeks for relief. In
your case, you have to cooperate first with the law enforcement authorities like the
National Bureau of Investigation to investigate and gather information that will serve
as evidence before the court.
Sincerely yours,
