One of the Guilds advocacies is to educate a wide range of audiences about the Cybercrime Law and its implications on ones freedom of speech. On December 12, 1 p.m. the Guild will hold a big forum about the Cybercrime Law at San Beda College-Manila (please refer to the map).

Participants will be given a chance to ask questions at the open forum part of the program. In this light, we are inviting you to attend the forum.
