Article courtesy of ABS-CBNNews.com: The website of the government's main information agency, the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) , was  hacked by a user named "7z1." An error message was displayed whenever a user tried to enter PIA's website. Search engine Google showed the word "HACKED BY 7z1" under the title Philippine Information Agency.  The agency's website was eventually restored Sunday evening. The identity of the said user, as well as reasons for hacking the website, have yet to be determined. This, however, took place days after a hacker, who claims to be from the People's Republic of China, demanded an apology for last week's hostage crisis at the Quirino Grandstand, where 8 Hong Kong tourists were slain.

Below is the ABS-CBN's  full official statement: We take note of Willie Revillame's pronouncements in his press conference today. Willie is bound to ABS-CBN by a contract until September 2011. He violated the behavioral provisions of his contract when he threatened the ABS-CBN management during the May 4, 2010 episode of Wowowee, with a resignation if management does not fire another artist of the network. His behavior was generally seen as a display of disrespect and arrogance, completely unacceptable to the Filipino public. As the one who violated his contract, Willie has no right to have it unilaterally invalidated. Contracts are binding agreements that must be respected by the contracting parties involved. The one who violates the contract cannot be allowed to dictate whether it should continue or end. Otherwise, contracts will have no value and may be terminated based on whim. ABS-CBN is the aggrieved party, and as such, is the only one that can decide to end the agreement
