Abstract:
This article addresses if the Philippine laws regarding electronic commerce and electronic evidence suffices the security concerns in this kind of environment we have, which allows people from all walks of life to exchange goods and services from almost anywhere in the world any time, as well as any electronic document or data offered or used in evidence in court. Hence, in these laws, it is very difficult to prosecute a person under the law since "electronic trail" cannot be used in a criminal case. It is said that there is an urgent need to pass a law against cyber crimes. The Supreme Court should also issue new rules to make the Rules on Electronic Evidence applicable to criminal cases.
3 Things That I've Learned:
Having learned about the Rules on Electronic Evidence, it is our duty to comply with this law and be an information officer to all people that does not know it. As a librarian, we need to be cautious about what we are doing online, especially with electronic messages and documents we are sending to different people. I can also inform our students in high school about this law and what entails this law. Every transactions should be treated seriously and confidently.
With the growing popularity of online business via the Internet, cyber crimes like hacking, data manipulation, spreading viruses and fraudulent E-commerce transactions are becoming rampant. So we need to be aware on this. As the author of this article said, "The computers and the Internet will work for us and not against us."

3 Things That I've Learned:
- I learned there is such thing as Rules on Electronic Evidence in the Philippines which took effect on August 1, 2001.
- Rules on Electronic Evidence includes digital signature, electronic data message or document, electronic signatures and the like.
- There is still a need to come up with a law against cyber crimes because the laws we have here does not cover this issue.
