In the Philippines, the legal age for criminal liability, including for cyber crimes, is 15 years old, as per the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act. However, minors aged 15 to 18 can be subjected to rehabilitation rather than imprisonment. If a minor commits a serious crime, such as certain cyber crimes, they may still face legal consequences, but the focus is typically on rehabilitation rather than incarceration. For adults, the legal age for imprisonment is 18 years and older.
