e-Commerce Act: its application so far

How has the penal aspect of the e-commerce act fared so far?

Joint operatives of the Philippine Air Force, the Bureau of Immigration and the police arrested eight members of a cyber crime syndicate that specializes in hacking corporate telecommunications systems. In a joint statement, the military and the Immigration Bureau said the suspects broke into corporate private automatic branch exchange systems and used these for illegal call-selling. In a separate statement, the PLDT said the hackers caused the company P197M in losses and the government some 19.7 million pesos in tax revenues. The telecom giant said it has received numerous complaints from subscribers about long distance calls that were charged to them, but which they said they never made. The suspects will be charged for violating Republic Act 8792 or the Electronic Commerce Act.

The first Philippine hacking case to have ended in a conviction is that of JJ Maria Giner. He pleaded guilty at the Metropolitan Trial Court in Manila to hacking government websites (including the government portal "gov.ph."). He was sentenced to one to two years of imprisonment and to a fine of 100,000 pesos.

So far, so good I think.
