In the Philippines, latest national data show that cyber-violence affects almost half of children aged 13-171. The prevalence of cyber-violence for males (44 per cent) is almost the same for females (43 per cent).

One-third of cyber-violence experienced by Filipino children are in the form of verbal abuse over the internet or cellphone, while a fourth are through sexual messages. More females received messages of sexual nature or content than males. However, twice as many males than females reported having their nude body or sexual activities, whether real or falsified, shown on the internet or cellphone.
