MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police will intensify its campaign against cyberbullying among youth on social media platforms, as ordered by its chief Gen. Archie Gamboa. In a statement on Sunday, the PNP said Gamboa ordered the Anti-Cybercrime Group to step up its campaign against cyberbullying. ADVERTISEMENTThis is after the PNP-ACG investigated 19 cyberbullying cases from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020 as part of the campaign under the Anti-Bullying Act of 2013. Oftentimes, cyberbullying is used by unscrupulous individuals to prey on the youth,” Gamboa said. “Aside from our frontliner operations against COVID-19 pandemic, we also intensified our cyber patrol operations and monitoring system against cybercrimes on social media and other interactive websites,” Gamboa said.
