The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) was created by virtue of Republic Act 10175, otherwise known as the “Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012.” It is one of the attached agencies of the  Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).

The CICC is headed by Executive Director Cezar O. Mancao II, appointed by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte last August 20, 2020. He continues to strive relentlessly to achieve the agency’s vision of a safe cyber Philippines.

The CICC performs matters related to cybercrime prevention and suppression, including, but not limited to, acting as the lead agency in monitoring cybercrime cases handled by participating law enforcement and prosecution agencies; facilitating international cooperation on intelligence, investigations, training, and capacity-building related to cybercrime prevention, suppression, and prosecution; coordinating the support of the public and private sectors; and recommending the enactment of appropriate laws, issuances, measures, and policies pursuant to its mandate.
