So anyway sige let's do this. Um welcome everyone to uh the subcommittee of the committee on finance hearing today. Welcome to the entire asr-000011 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:29.980 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: DICT uh team and the attached agencies. Uh on the agenda today is the propos budget for fiscal year 2027 uh national expenditure program of the DICT and attached agencies. So before we proceed I'd like to acknowledge some significant developments uh on the part of the legislative. We passed the e-governance act in uh a year asr-000012 00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:59.980 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ago. This seeks to make government services more accessible, integrated and responsible through digital platforms and konektadong Pinoy Act which aims to expand internet access, promote competition, improve the quality and affordability of connectivity throughout the country. uh also last year these two laws were sponsored by Senator Alan Caitano. At the same time there remain several issues that we need to examine closely as we consider the 2027 budget particularly on cyber security, data asr-000013 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:29.980 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: privacy, online scams, cyber crime and the protection of children and other vulnerable groups from online harm. Children can be profiled and targeted online where mind conditioning is used to carry out real world harms. Gaming and messaging platforms can be exploited to reach vulnerable young people. I would therefore like to know whether the proposed budgets of the DICT, CICC, NPC, and NTC provide them with sufficient resources, personal technology and capacity to respond effectively to these asr-000014 00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:59.980 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: threats. I also want to uh make sure that we are mindful of our commitments under the sustainable development goals. This is not just we cannot take isolation. um our access to all the programs and um uh implementation of the laws we are passing the budgets that we're now going to be providing you will affect SDG3 on asr-000015 00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:29.980 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: good health and wellbeing, SDG4 on quality education, SDG5 on gender equality, SDG8 on decent work and economic growth, SDG9 on industry, innovation and infrastructure, SDG10 on reduced inequalities, SDG11 on sustainable CI and commun and SDG 17 on participation for the goals. So when we discuss the DCT budget today, I hope we do not look at technology and isolation. Every peso we allocate to the asr-000016 00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:59.980 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: sector has implications for the educational system, the health care uh system, our economy, public safety, government efficiency and the daily lives of Filipinos. So we also want to ensure that um our expanded digital access uh is within the confines of a safe environment. We want to see continued reporting and um clear programs uh to identify online scams, identity theft, data breaches, cyber attacks, disinformation, online sexual asr-000017 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:29.980 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: abuse and exploitation of children and all other forms of cyber crimes. We also want to include in the discussion and the preparation of the budget uh the rise of the use of artificial intelligence which we know can help improve government services and productivity but must also be used to create but are also used and we should be mindful that they are used to create deep fake spread thisinformation commit asr-000018 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:59.980 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: fraud and exploit vulnerable individual so we should have uh safeguards in place for this so um on that note We will hear from DIC. I understand that the secretary is in Malakan. So you will be the one to present. Okay. And then after that um the cyber crime investigation coordination center, national privacy commission and national telecommunications commission.

Cayetano: like walking distance ba yun sa kanila, nasa barangday ba nila yun? asr-000189 00:19:26.800 --> 00:19:27.460 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi otherwise. asr-000190 00:19:28.340 --> 00:19:33.840 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And it is an issue that has been brought to our attention that we read about, not just in the Philippines. asr-000191 00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:44.520 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Hindi natin na, we want to fulfill that role, pero without the enough tools, baka kulang din yung access nila. asr-000192 00:19:44.520 --> 00:19:48.760 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, just maybe a very quick response before you go to the next point. asr-000193 00:19:52.540 --> 00:19:57.780 DICT ICT Literacy and Competency Development Bureau Director Jennalyn G.

Cayetano: But at least that remains to be my concern. asr-000201 00:20:30.080 --> 00:20:32.680 Senator Pia S.

Cayetano: development goals, one is on education, asr-000371 00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:34.280 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: the other one is on health, at the end asr-000372 00:28:34.280 --> 00:28:36.540 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of the day, itong free Wi-Fi natin asr-000373 00:28:36.540 --> 00:28:38.080 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is not just for leisure, asr-000374 00:28:38.380 --> 00:28:40.060 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: di ba? Because asr-000375 00:28:40.060 --> 00:28:42.580 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I wonder if anyone ever did a survey, asr-000376 00:28:42.780 --> 00:28:44.340 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but like, how do most people asr-000377 00:28:44.340 --> 00:28:46.020 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: use it? I don't think anyone in this room, asr-000378 00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:47.780 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: myself included, will deny asr-000379 00:28:47.780 --> 00:28:50.240 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that a big chunk of my usage is leisure, asr-000380 00:28:50.800 --> 00:28:52.340 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but a big chunk of my usage asr-000381 00:28:52.340 --> 00:28:54.020 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is also work. Like right now, asr-000382 00:28:54.380 --> 00:28:55.640 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: we're using Wi-Fi at work. asr-000383 00:28:56.340 --> 00:28:58.200 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: If this is the Senate Wi-Fi, then I asr-000384 00:28:58.200 --> 00:28:59.300 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: guarantee you, it's bad. asr-000385 00:29:01.020 --> 00:29:01.460 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But asr-000386 00:29:01.460 --> 00:29:04.680 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: on other occasions with my team, we work asr-000387 00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:06.300 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: gabi na, they work from home, I work asr-000388 00:29:06.300 --> 00:29:08.240 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: from home, and we're able asr-000389 00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:10.240 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: to have discussions because we asr-000390 00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:11.600 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: have Wi-Fi. So, asr-000391 00:29:12.120 --> 00:29:14.080 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: hindi free Wi-Fi yung sa amin, by the way. asr-000392 00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:16.120 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: But asr-000393 00:29:16.120 --> 00:29:18.340 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: my point is, pagdating dito sa mga asr-000394 00:29:18.340 --> 00:29:19.840 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: schools like state universities, asr-000395 00:29:20.220 --> 00:29:22.240 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that's how we can ensure that quality asr-000396 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:24.260 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: education can reach the far-flung asr-000397 00:29:24.260 --> 00:29:26.100 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: areas, diba? Like we can have asr-000398 00:29:26.100 --> 00:29:28.360 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: professors, you know, like really good asr-000399 00:29:28.360 --> 00:29:30.220 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: professors with PhDs asr-000400 00:29:31.120 --> 00:29:31.840 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: from asr-000401 00:29:31.840 --> 00:29:36.080 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: premium universities asr-000402 00:29:36.080 --> 00:29:38.260 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: be lecturing in asr-000403 00:29:38.260 --> 00:29:40.160 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: small colleges because asr-000404 00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:42.380 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of Wi-Fi. And same goes with the doctors. asr-000405 00:29:42.560 --> 00:29:44.440 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I mean, I'm preaching to the choir, alam nyo naman yan, asr-000406 00:29:44.520 --> 00:29:46.100 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but I have to put it in record because asr-000407 00:29:46.100 --> 00:29:48.460 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: yun talaga yung purpose natin, asr-000408 00:29:48.540 --> 00:29:50.380 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: diba, for the Wi-Fi. It's not asr-000409 00:29:50.380 --> 00:29:52.180 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: so that kids can be on Facebook asr-000410 00:29:52.180 --> 00:29:53.800 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: and can have barkada, but asr-000411 00:29:53.800 --> 00:29:55.980 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: but, you know, beyond asr-000412 00:29:55.980 --> 00:29:57.780 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: leisure, it's also connectivity because asr-000413 00:29:57.780 --> 00:30:00.020 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: how many, how much, what is the person asr-000414 00:30:00.000 --> 00:30:01.380 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of Filipinos that have asr-000415 00:30:01.380 --> 00:30:04.160 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: an immediate family member that's an OFW. asr-000416 00:30:04.420 --> 00:30:05.800 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So in that sense, kahit sabi mong asr-000417 00:30:05.800 --> 00:30:07.720 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kwentuhan lang yun, pero that's kwentuhan asr-000418 00:30:07.720 --> 00:30:09.980 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: that a child needs. asr-000419 00:30:10.060 --> 00:30:11.900 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: That's kwentuhan with their mother, that's kwentuhan with asr-000420 00:30:11.900 --> 00:30:14.060 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: their father who is probably away for a year asr-000421 00:30:14.060 --> 00:30:15.860 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: or two years. So support tayo asr-000422 00:30:15.860 --> 00:30:17.640 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: dyan. Kahit sabi mong walang asr-000423 00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:20.260 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kahit sabi mong asr-000424 00:30:20.260 --> 00:30:22.040 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: kwentuhan lang yan. No, that's the kind asr-000425 00:30:22.040 --> 00:30:23.780 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: of connectivity that we really want. asr-000426 00:30:23.820 --> 00:30:25.000 Senator Pia S.

Cayetano: When you say they are now secure from state-sponsored attacks, asr-000704 00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:16.200 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: these are other states. asr-000705 00:41:16.200 --> 00:41:17.920 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What do you mean by a state? asr-000706 00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:22.960 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Do you mean it in a legal sense like other countries? asr-000707 00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:25.120 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Or just other beings? asr-000708 00:41:25.120 --> 00:41:30.400 DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: There are possibility, Madam Chair, that some of the threat actor, asr-000709 00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:35.560 DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: like not local threat actor, they are constantly attacking asr-000710 00:41:35.560 --> 00:41:42.080 DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: our government agencies in terms of trying to expel threat. asr-000711 00:41:42.080 --> 00:41:43.600 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, you're saying there are two kinds of actors. asr-000712 00:41:43.600 --> 00:41:47.640 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: There's local, meaning mga Pilipino din, and then may international. asr-000713 00:41:47.640 --> 00:41:52.280 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And then they can be further classified in different ways. asr-000714 00:41:52.280 --> 00:41:54.920 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: There's a, how would you classify it? asr-000715 00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:59.040 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: There's individual attack, and then there's like a asr-000716 00:41:59.040 --> 00:42:02.400 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: conspiratory attack by some… asr-000717 00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:08.960 DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: Well, Madam Chair, hindi lang naman po tayo sa Pilipinas ang under threat ng AF. asr-000718 00:42:08.960 --> 00:42:12.920 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yes, I know. That's why nga sabi ko, let's make it clear na hindi ko naman inaano yung Pilipinas. asr-000720 00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:15.200 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kumbaga, ano yung global situation natin? asr-000721 00:42:15.200 --> 00:42:23.680 DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: Yes, it's the common threat po na there are threat actors that are attacking other countries asr-000722 00:42:23.680 --> 00:42:31.680 DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: and including Philippines, especially the ASEAN Summit, the upcoming ASEAN Summit. asr-000723 00:42:31.680 --> 00:42:42.680 DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: There are threats po na those groups, some of them are criminal enterprises or state, asr-000724 00:42:43.440 --> 00:42:47.520 DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: sponsored actors. We are constantly under threat po doon. asr-000725 00:42:47.520 --> 00:42:53.120 DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: And then what we are trying to do right now in terms of the cyber security posture is, asr-000726 00:42:53.120 --> 00:43:02.400 DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: we are covering as many government agencies to protect against those kind of attacks. asr-000727 00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:06.320 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Yung threat sa government agency, ano yung habol doon? asr-000728 00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:13.280 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: To just make a statement na nakahack sila sa isang government agency or, let me finish lang my question, or, asr-000729 00:43:13.280 --> 00:43:17.880 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: is there data there, like personal data, let's say, ang nahack nila is, asr-000730 00:43:18.400 --> 00:43:23.240 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I won't mention na lang the agencies, but there are agencies that have a lot of our personal data, di ba? asr-000731 00:43:23.740 --> 00:43:26.920 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Kasi we register there, we transact with them. asr-000732 00:43:27.300 --> 00:43:29.840 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I'm talking government, hindi pa nga private, government lang. asr-000733 00:43:29.840 --> 00:43:39.660 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, would you say that the purpose of the, I'll just call them the hackers, is one or the other or both? asr-000734 00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:51.760 DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: Madam Chair, there are two groups of local actors po dito sa atin. asr-000735 00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:57.140 DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: The first group are yung tinatawag nating hacktivists. asr-000736 00:43:58.040 --> 00:44:04.160 DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: These hacktivists are the one attacking institutions, yung mga schools. asr-000737 00:44:04.900 --> 00:44:13.260 DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: They have recruited mga young generations na gustong matuto about cyber security. asr-000738 00:44:13.280 --> 00:44:20.620 DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: The other group is more about, they want money. asr-000739 00:44:21.260 --> 00:44:26.980 DICT Cybersecurity Bureau OIC Rodil M. Aniban: So, they are targeting to exfiltrate data and selling it in the dark web. asr-000740 00:44:28.100 --> 00:44:28.740 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Thank you for that. asr-000741 00:44:29.300 --> 00:44:31.100 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, I'll wrap up this point. asr-000742 00:44:33.100 --> 00:44:42.100 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: It goes into one of my, one of the main reasons I have been against the mandatory ROTC. asr-000743 00:44:42.100 --> 00:44:42.700 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ROTC. asr-000744 00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:53.020 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Is because when it was presented to us years ago, it was not presented in a way that I felt was ensured with the changing threats. asr-000745 00:44:53.640 --> 00:44:56.280 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: So, my question to them at that time was, asr-000746 00:44:57.900 --> 00:44:59.960 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: pinaprepare ba natin yung mga mag- asr-000748 00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:01.520 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: ROTC dito sa mga asr-000749 00:45:01.520 --> 00:45:03.480 Senator Pia S.

Cayetano: security experts, asr-001357 01:09:06.620 --> 01:09:09.020 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: I don't know if government asr-001358 01:09:09.020 --> 01:09:11.240 Senator Pia S.

Barcena: data protection officers, both asr-001923 01:29:08.940 --> 01:29:11.180 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: in the private and government asr-001924 01:29:11.180 --> 01:29:13.060 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: sector to equip them with asr-001925 01:29:13.060 --> 01:29:15.380 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: the necessary tools to perform asr-001926 01:29:15.380 --> 01:29:17.140 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: their functions as data protection asr-001927 01:29:17.140 --> 01:29:19.220 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: officers. We also have other asr-001928 01:29:19.220 --> 01:29:21.120 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: initiatives in respect to other asr-001929 01:29:21.120 --> 01:29:23.080 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: industries. Earlier this asr-001930 01:29:23.080 --> 01:29:25.000 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: year, we actually had a joint advisory asr-001931 01:29:25.000 --> 01:29:27.200 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: with the SEC and the ICT and online asr-001932 01:29:27.200 --> 01:29:28.820 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: lending platforms to asr-001933 01:29:28.820 --> 01:29:31.160 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: educate our borrowers on asr-001934 01:29:31.160 --> 01:29:32.980 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: their rights with respect to online asr-001935 01:29:32.980 --> 01:29:34.960 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: platforms, as well as educate asr-001936 01:29:34.960 --> 01:29:36.700 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: the online platforms themselves asr-001937 01:29:36.700 --> 01:29:39.160 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: regarding their obligations to potential asr-001938 01:29:39.160 --> 01:29:41.120 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: borrowers with respect to their respective asr-001939 01:29:41.120 --> 01:29:43.000 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: online applications. So asr-001940 01:29:43.000 --> 01:29:44.780 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: these will be continuing programs in asr-001941 01:29:44.780 --> 01:29:46.860 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: 2027, Madam Chair, but asr-001942 01:29:46.860 --> 01:29:48.960 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: the modest increase of 60 million asr-001943 01:29:48.960 --> 01:29:51.080 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: for 2027 will be asr-001944 01:29:51.080 --> 01:29:52.440 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: used to further fund asr-001945 01:29:52.440 --> 01:29:55.000 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: our strategic priority programs asr-001946 01:29:55.000 --> 01:29:57.240 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: for next year. This would include asr-001947 01:29:57.240 --> 01:29:58.400 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: enhancement of our asr-001948 01:29:58.820 --> 01:30:00.020 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: enhanced security response asr-001949 01:30:00.000 --> 01:30:08.340 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: and Investigation Task Force project, specifically increasing the number of dark websites being monitored by the NPC asr-001950 01:30:08.340 --> 01:30:13.220 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: for chatter or information on data breaches. asr-001951 01:30:13.940 --> 01:30:17.900 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So part of the ongoing programs of the NPC is our breach notification. asr-001952 01:30:18.540 --> 01:30:27.340 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So those entities that have experienced data breaches are supposed to notify the NPC within 72 hours of the discovery of the breach. asr-001953 01:30:27.340 --> 01:30:35.080 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: But we also have programs to be proactive in terms of identifying breaches even before they are reported to us. asr-001954 01:30:35.520 --> 01:30:41.960 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: And this bump in the budget in 2027 will further expand that proactive capability of the NPC. asr-001955 01:30:42.680 --> 01:30:49.180 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: It will also allow us to leverage AI technology with respect to our complaints management system. asr-001956 01:30:49.800 --> 01:30:54.660 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So one of the priority projects next year is to have an AI chatbot for NPC asr-001957 01:30:54.660 --> 01:30:56.660 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: so that instead of reporting, asr-001958 01:30:57.340 --> 01:31:02.000 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: responding to queries or inquiries through email or telephone or walk-in, asr-001959 01:31:02.880 --> 01:31:06.820 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: stakeholders across the nation can get responses in real-time asr-001960 01:31:06.820 --> 01:31:11.080 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: through a chatbot to be developed next year using the additional budget. asr-001961 01:31:11.760 --> 01:31:18.560 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: The additional budget will also enhance our data management and process analytics digital platform or DAMPA, asr-001962 01:31:18.980 --> 01:31:22.260 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: specifically the component on our registration. asr-001963 01:31:22.260 --> 01:31:27.260 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So it will increase the capacity of the system to process registration, asr-001964 01:31:27.340 --> 01:31:29.340 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: registrations at any one time. asr-001965 01:31:30.000 --> 01:31:34.200 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So currently it can process around 1,000 applications at the same time. asr-001966 01:31:34.480 --> 01:31:41.800 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: But since we have priority programs to further expand the number of registered entities across the nation, asr-001967 01:31:42.180 --> 01:31:47.040 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: we find it necessary to first increase the capability of the system before we roll out the program. asr-001968 01:31:47.740 --> 01:31:52.320 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Part of the enhancement will also allow us to reduce our turnaround time asr-001969 01:31:52.680 --> 01:31:56.320 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: in terms of processing these registration applications asr-001970 01:31:56.620 --> 01:31:57.320 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: from an average asr-001971 01:31:57.320 --> 01:32:00.140 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: of 7 days to an average of 3 days. asr-001972 01:32:00.820 --> 01:32:01.700 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Next slide, please. asr-001973 01:32:05.320 --> 01:32:06.580 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Let me move to the next slide. asr-001974 01:32:08.980 --> 01:32:13.400 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So another priority program for next year using the augmentation in budget asr-001975 01:32:13.400 --> 01:32:18.560 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: is to further increase the number of participants to the Privacy Awareness Week. asr-001976 01:32:19.060 --> 01:32:21.160 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So through Presidential Proclamation 512, asr-001977 01:32:21.480 --> 01:32:25.020 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: the end of May every year is declared to be Privacy Awareness Week. asr-001978 01:32:25.020 --> 01:32:26.560 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: And the NPC, asr-001979 01:32:27.320 --> 01:32:32.320 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: holds a large forum for both local and regional participants asr-001980 01:32:32.320 --> 01:32:37.320 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: to discuss emerging and current issues regarding data protection and privacy. asr-001981 01:32:37.980 --> 01:32:42.980 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Also a priority program next year is the conduct of an expanded national data privacy survey. asr-001982 01:32:43.440 --> 01:32:50.880 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So in 2021, the NPC conducted a similar survey and it yielded a result of 25% awareness across the nation. asr-001983 01:32:51.320 --> 01:32:56.160 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So we'd like to identify whether six years after, how we have moved the needle asr-001984 01:32:56.440 --> 01:32:57.300 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: so that we can have asr-001985 01:32:57.360 --> 01:33:03.080 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: further data to further inform our policy objectives moving forward. asr-001986 01:33:04.080 --> 01:33:05.620 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: That's it, Madam Chair. Thank you. asr-001987 01:33:06.020 --> 01:33:06.820 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Quick questions. asr-001988 01:33:07.080 --> 01:33:10.560 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What are the more common privacy concerns? asr-001989 01:33:10.560 --> 01:33:15.620 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: You mentioned that you acted upon 70,000 privacy concerns. asr-001990 01:33:15.920 --> 01:33:17.120 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: What are the common ones? asr-001991 01:33:17.240 --> 01:33:20.320 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: The 70,000, Madam Chair, are aggregate privacy concerns. asr-001992 01:33:20.560 --> 01:33:27.080 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So it can range from something as small as posting of their personal data online, asr-001993 01:33:27.780 --> 01:33:31.560 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So queries regarding that: what are their remedies? asr-001994 01:33:31.560 --> 01:33:31.880 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: Whether asr-001995 01:33:32.000 --> 01:33:32.800 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: or not asr-001996 01:33:33.060 --> 01:33:34.460 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: it's a violation. asr-001997 01:33:34.460 --> 01:33:35.160 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So queries asr-001998 01:33:35.160 --> 01:33:35.880 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: with respect to that, asr-002001 01:33:36.000 --> 01:33:38.300 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: as well as larger queries with respect to breaches. asr-002002 01:33:38.840 --> 01:33:41.080 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: So what they should do, for example, if there's a breach, asr-002003 01:33:41.200 --> 01:33:47.560 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: so we provide them the necessary information on what the stakeholders can do based on our own issuances. asr-002004 01:33:48.160 --> 01:33:48.360 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Okay. asr-002005 01:33:48.740 --> 01:33:55.460 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: And what's the status of the designation of data protection officers in government offices? asr-002006 01:33:56.660 --> 01:33:57.020 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: Where? asr-002007 01:33:57.320 --> 01:33:58.590 Senator Pia S. Cayetano: are we with that? asr-002007-split-2 01:33:58.590 --> 01:33:59.680 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: From our asr-002008 01:33:59.680 --> 01:34:01.520 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: data, Madam Chair, only asr-002009 01:34:01.520 --> 01:34:03.700 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: half of the universe of government asr-002010 01:34:03.700 --> 01:34:05.220 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: agencies are actually asr-002011 01:34:05.220 --> 01:34:07.560 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: registered with the NPC, which asr-002012 01:34:07.560 --> 01:34:09.700 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: means they have registered data protection officers asr-002013 01:34:09.700 --> 01:34:11.460 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: with us. That's why part of our asr-002014 01:34:11.460 --> 01:34:13.660 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: commitment to the DICT asr-002015 01:34:13.660 --> 01:34:15.600 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S.

Barcena: all government agencies would asr-002017 01:34:17.580 --> 01:34:19.140 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: have registered with the NPC. asr-002018 01:34:19.760 --> 01:34:21.660 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: And part of the request of the NPC asr-002019 01:34:21.660 --> 01:34:23.520 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: actually, Madam Chair, if it would be possible asr-002020 01:34:23.520 --> 01:34:25.760 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: to insert a general provision asr-002021 01:34:25.760 --> 01:34:27.780 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S. Barcena: in the 2027 GAA asr-002022 01:34:27.780 --> 01:34:29.480 NPC Privacy Commissioner Johann Carlos S.
