The Philippine National Police reported a rise in cybercrime cases during the first quarter of 2024. According to the police’s Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG), there were 4,469 cases recorded from January to March of 2024.

Sidney Hernia cited online selling scams, debit and credit card fraud and investment scams as the three main contributors to the increase in the number of cybercrime cases. He surmised that the increased online activity of Filipinos, as well as sophisticated cybercrime tactics and a general lack of awareness by the public could have contributed to this spike in people falling prey to cybercriminals.

ONE of the most important roles you play as a people manager is to empower everyone in your team to work together toward a common goal.

The question was unexpected when this young man sat beside me, after I finished my lecture on how to read films. “Sir, what is love?” I was not sure I heard him. But I saw him, the white linen shirt, the left side of the collar slightly frayed, the eternal J Crew khaki pants, the shoes fashionably worn, and that open face.
