The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) has reported detecting between 200 to 300 deepfakes daily, underscoring the urgency of addressing these digital threats. ​ The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) has acknowledged the difficulty of attributing cyber intrusions to specific attackers, as they sometimes leave misleading digital traces. The public is urged to remain vigilant and discerning, especially when encountering suspicious digital content, to collectively uphold the integrity of the upcoming elections. On June 23, the DICT also launched Phase 2 of the PEMEDES Licensing Portal, which brings enhanced digital identity verification, automation, and expanded regulatory monitoring. Customers can expect faster complaint resolution and better protection in digital transactions, while riders and operators gain from reduced bureaucracy through streamlined processes and secure digital credentials.
