Let’s celebrate Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2026!

As we officially launch Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2026, let’s take a closer look at this year’s campaign and what HABI means for all of us.
This year, we are guided by the theme “HABI: Salig sa Gawa, Tibay sa Banta” or “A People-Centered Approach to a Resilient Philippine Cyberspace.”
Like a woven fabric, HABI represents the strength we build when people, institutions, technologies, capabilities, and partnerships work together. Every secure action is a thread—and when we connect these threads, we create a stronger and more resilient digital Philippines.
Through this year’s campaign, we invite everyone to take part through four key pillars:
🔎 CYBER TANAW – Understand what is changing in the digital world and stay informed about emerging cyber threats.
🛡️ CYBER SALIG – Build trust through responsible and secure digital practices.
🤝 CYBER BALANGAY – Work together and recognize that cybersecurity is a shared responsibility.
💪 CYBER TIBAY – Strengthen our ability to prevent, respond to, and recover from cyber threats.
Whether you are from a government agency, LGU, school, business, organization, community, or simply an individual user, there is a place for you in this nationwide celebration.
📣 Share this campaign card and help spread the message of HABI! Use it as a quick guide to understand this year’s campaign and encourage your colleagues, communities, and networks to participate.
To support your activities, we’ve also launched the Cyber Gabay Toolkit 2026! 🎉
You’ll find weekly focus areas, campaign messages, activity ideas, and communication resources that you can adopt, localize, share, and use in your workplace, organization, school, or community.
