REPUBLIC Act 10173, or the Data Privacy Act(DPA) of 2012, is one hell of a very important piece of legislation to ever hit the country and consequently, our collective lives. In these times where even the supposedly highly democratic nations have now been wantonly circumventing the privacy rights of their citizens in the name of anti-terrorism, it is very refreshing (and proudly at that!) that the Philippines remains at the forefront of protecting the sanctity of personal information.
