MANILA, Philippines — “Transparency is not optional.”
A Filipino hacktivist group identifying as “Nullsec Philippines” said this after claiming responsibility for the purported defacing of the Senate website.
“The Filipino people entrusted you with power, responsibility, and the duty to serve the nation—not personal interests, political dynasties, or corrupt networks,” Nullsec stressed in a social media post late Wednesday night.

“Every peso lost to corruption is a meal taken from a family, a classroom left unfinished, and a future denied,” it added. “Accountability is not negotiable. Public office is not a shield from scrutiny.”
Cybersecurity advocacy group Deep Web Konek flagged the supposed defacement on Thursday morning.
In a statement, the Senate Electronic Data Processing Management Information System (EDP-MIS) confirmed the incident and said security protocols have been implemented to contain the issue, initiate an investigation and prevent similar incidents.
“Based on our initial assessment, there is no indication that any confidential or sensitive information has been compromised. The website primarily contains publicly available documents and informational materials intended for public access,” the EDP-MIS added.
The purported defacement of the Senate website came days after Senate President Pro Tempore Sherwin Gatchalian warned of a threat against Congress’ upper house amid recent political tensions. /das /gsg
