Top finance app highlights intensified efforts to ensure the online safety of women and children
Fueled by a shared goal to protect millions of Filipinos online, the country’s number one finance app, GCash, underscored its support for the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group by participating in this year’s AngelNet Summit, which aims to maintain a safer and more secure cyberspace for the most vulnerable sectors in the country, especially women and children.
Held at the PNP Headquarters in Camp Crame, Quezon City, this year’s summit, with the theme “AngelNetwork and the Cybersquad, Magkasama sa Online Kaligtasan” (AngelNetwork and the Cybersquad, Together for Online Safety), gathered leaders from the PNP who were joined by key officials from GCash, as well as various local and international organizations and agencies to tackle crucial steps and strategies in keeping the cyberspace free from harassment, abuse, and violence.
The event is also part of a PNP mandate on child online protection (COP) and anti-gender-based online sexual harassment (GBOSH), the AlengPulis and the CyberSquad, an avatar group of PNP-ACG officers, co-designed with children, who works as a composite unit of investigators on crimes with an online dimension.
GCash Chief Legal Officer, Atty. Maricor Alvarez-Adriano shared the importance of fostering partnerships between the private sector and the government to address the need for safer online spaces and more secure fintech platforms for Filipinos.
