CICC and GCash Cyber Fraud Partnership Strengthens Digital Protection for Filipinos
The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) has joined forces with GCash to intensify the fight against cyber fraud in the Philippines. This renewed partnership aims to strengthen response efforts, improve information sharing, and boost cybersecurity awareness for millions of Filipino users.
Formalized through a Memorandum of Agreement, the collaboration deepens coordination between the public and private sectors in protecting digital financial transactions. It supports the government’s goal of building cyber resilience amid the growing threats of scams and online crimes.
CICC Undersecretary Renato “Aboy” Paraiso led the signing with agency officials, joined by GCash representatives led by Winsley Royce Bangit, Atty. Maricor Alvarez-Adriano, and Gilda Maquilan.
Paraiso stressed that cybersecurity requires shared responsibility. “Cybersecurity is not the responsibility of the government alone. It requires collaboration with leaders like GCash. We are united in protecting Filipinos and will relentlessly pursue those who exploit our digital economy,” he said.
GCash, a leader in mobile finance, has blocked over 4 million fraudulent accounts and removed thousands of malicious posts. The company continues to invest in advanced technologies and public education to prevent scams.
Atty. Alvarez-Adriano noted that the partnership strengthens their commitment to customer protection. “We must continue improving and innovating to protect our customers from ever-present cyber threats,” she said.
With CICC’s technical expertise and GCash’s massive reach, the alliance aims to empower users and ensure safer digital transactions. The partnership reflects a united effort to secure the country’s growing digital economy and maintain public trust in online financial systems.
