The Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP ACG) has identified RA No. 12010, or the Anti-Financial Account Scamming Act (AFASA), as the most prevalent violation during the first semester of 2026.

Based on the operational data of the PNP ACG from January 1 to June 30, 2026, violation of AFASA topped the list with 195 police operations conducted nationwide. The cases primarily involved the illegal online sale of financial accounts—including ATM cards, bank accounts, and e-wallet accounts online.

Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., Chief of the PNP, underscored the PNP's continuing commitment to addressing emerging cyber threats and strengthening the country's digital security framework.

Police Major General Wilson C. Asueta, Director of the PNP ACG, emphasized the dangers of selling or lending financial accounts.

"These AFASA cases should serve as a warning to the public that selling or allowing others to use your ATM cards, bank accounts, or e-wallet accounts may seem like a harmless transaction, but it is a criminal offense that enables cybercriminals to perpetrate online scams and other illegal activities using your account,” PMGEN Asueta said.

Meanwhile, the PNP ACG urges everyone to protect their financial accounts, exercise caution in online transactions, and immediately report any suspicious activities to the authorities.

Paalala sa Publiko: Sama-samang Sugpuin ang Cyberbullying at Isulong ang Responsableng Paggamit ng Social Media
Patuloy na pinaaalalahanan ng Anti-Cybercrime Group ang publiko na maging responsable at magpakita ng paggalang sa kapwa sa lahat ng online platforms. Ang cyberbullying ay hindi simpleng biro o opinyon lamang—ito ay maaaring magdulot ng matinding emosyonal, sikolohikal, at maging legal na epekto sa mga biktima.
Hinihikayat ng Romblon Provincial Cyber Response Team ang bawat netizen na mag-isip bago mag-post, igalang ang karapatan ng iba, huwag makiisa sa paninirang-puri o pang-aapi, at iulat agad ang anumang insidente ng cyberbullying sa kinauukulang awtoridad. Ang bawat komento, mensahe, at post sa internet ay may kaakibat na pananagutan.
Maging mabuting digital citizen. Maging kaibigan, hindi bully. Sama-sama nating itaguyod ang isang ligtas, responsable, at mapagmalasakit na cyberspace para sa lahat.

Babala Laban sa Investment at Task Scams: Mag-ingat sa mga Pangakong Madaling Kita
Patuloy na pinaaalalahanan ng Anti-Cybercrime Group ang publiko na maging mapanuri laban sa mga Investment Scam at Task Scam na laganap sa iba't ibang online platforms. Karaniwang ginagamit ng mga manloloko ang pangakong mabilis at malaking kita kapalit ng simpleng online na gawain upang mahikayat ang kanilang mga biktima.
Kadalasan, nagbibigay muna ang mga scammer ng maliit na bayad upang makuha ang tiwala ng biktima, bago ito hikayating maglabas ng mas malaking halaga bilang umano'y "investment" o "security deposit." Sa huli, nawawala ang mga scammer kasama ang perang ipinadala ng biktima.
Hinihikayat ng Romblon Provincial Cyber Response Team ang publiko na huwag magpapaniwala sa mga alok na "too good to be true," beripikahin ang lehitimasyon ng kumpanya o indibidwal, huwag magpadala ng pera sa mga hindi kilala, at agad iulat sa mga kinauukulang awtoridad ang anumang kahina-hinalang online na aktibidad.
Maging mapanuri. Maging responsable. Sama-sama nating labanan ang online scams at panatilihing ligtas ang ating digital na pamayanan.
