➤ Is the motive of people who commit cybercrimes always economic?

Some attackers seek money through ransomware, fraud, or theft, while others act for political goals, ideology, espionage, revenge, personal grudges, or curiosity.

➤ Why do regulatory requirements and permits hinder small business growth?
Complex licensing, overlapping local (LGU) and national rules, and slow processing create compliance costs for small firms. Businesses spend time and money on permits, BIR registration, DTI requirements, and barangay clearances. This bureaucratic burden increases startup time, raises informal operations, and discourages formalization that would improve access to credit and government support.
