South Korea has committed a PHP 1.56 billion grant to the Philippines to fund the establishment of a National Cybersecurity Center, according to a report by YugaTech. The grant aims to bolster the country’s defenses against sophisticated cyber threats.
The proposed center will serve as a centralized hub for monitoring, detecting, and responding to high-level cyberattacks. It is expected to enhance coordination between government agencies and private sector stakeholders in safeguarding critical information infrastructure.
The grant underscores the strengthening of bilateral ties between the Philippines and South Korea in cybersecurity cooperation. The project aligns with the Philippine government’s push to improve digital security amid rising online threats and the expansion of e-governance services.
