Incidents of voyeurism have declined by 39 percent in the first four months of 2025, according to the Philippine National Police's Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG).

Authorities reported 86 incidents of voyeurism from 1 January to 1 May this year, a decrease from the 141 cases recorded during the same period last year.

PNP-ACG acting director Brig. Gen. Bernard Yang attributed the decline to ongoing public awareness efforts, including dialogues, seminars, and informative social media campaigns.

"These efforts have contributed to a decline in cybercrimes, particularly photo and video voyeurism, as more people become aware of the risks associated with sharing explicit content online," Yang said.

He assured that the ACG is continuing to strengthen its proactive cyber patrolling and digital literacy campaigns to support the fight against cybercrime.

“The decrease in reported cybercrime cases reflects our collaborative efforts in promoting a safer online environment, especially for the youth, who are among the most vulnerable to crimes like photo and video voyeurism," he added.

Voyeurism refers to becoming sexually aroused by secretly observing someone who is undressing, nude, or involved in sexual activity without their knowledge.
