And from the domain manager, you can see the nameserver of the host. But the main point is, I don't see the sense of hunting the host and order to shut down the website. It's pretty useless because he can publish a website as many as he can, he can publish on blogspot, blogdrive, geocities, i.ph, and even on friendster blog.

The only problem I see is that his servers are in the US and I would not know if the Philippines can get subpoenas to get at their server logs. It is hard enough for American authorities to get that right. Where the website is hosted is totally unrelated to where he is connecting to the internet from. Obviously if he is in the Philippines, he is using a Philippine service. If you can get the logs from his webhost, one can easily find out what service he is using to log into his host, the problem is getting at those logs. I visited the website and I see nothing wrong with it. Free speech anyone? Sounds like the NBI is too incompetent in any cybersecurity investigation.

Try researching more about "www.angbayan.org", former online publication of the CPP. It was not ordered by the courts to be shut down but hunted by the authority. “I don’t know much about any pertinent laws or the e-Commerce Law but isn’t the website seditious in nature and thus can be ordered by the courts to be shut down?”
