Sir/Ma'am
I clicked a linked from fake gcash reward from an email that linked me to tabio.or.tz that looked like gcash and hacked my dad's phone automatically blinking without any OTP while we have the phone and the number(09267909878) to buy load Razer gold pin worth 32550php to an unknown number 09771172781 which contains 11 transactions on March 12, 2013 11:00pm to 11:03pm including the withdrawal of GSAVE. I already filed a police report, affidavit of denials notarized and GCASH TIcket on March 15,2023 proving that we are liable and still waiting for compensation based on customer protect.

Under Executive Order No. 2, s. 2016, it provides for the guidelines on full public disclosure and transparency in the public service which covers only access to information, official records, public records, and to documents and papers pertaining to official acts, transactions or decisions, as well as to government research data used as basis for policy development.

In this regard, complaints and request for clarification on data privacy violation should follow the guidelines provided in the citizen’s charter of our agency, which you may access here: https://www.privacy.gov.ph/citizens-charter/filing-a-complaint/
