Document background
A Cease and Desist Letter to Stop Contact is a crucial legal tool in the Philippine legal system used when an individual or entity needs to formally demand the cessation of unwanted communications or harassment. This document is particularly relevant in today's digital age, where unwanted contact can occur through multiple channels including physical, digital, and telecommunications means. The letter must comply with Philippine legislation, including the Data Privacy Act of 2012 (RA 10173), Cybercrime Prevention Act (RA 10175), and relevant provisions of the Civil Code. It's commonly used in situations involving personal harassment, workplace harassment, stalking, or persistent unwanted business communications. The document typically includes detailed documentation of the unwanted contact, specific demands to cease communication, and clear consequences for non-compliance under Philippine law. It serves as both a formal warning and a potential piece of evidence should further legal action become necessary.
