Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points.
\nA legal analysis released by local law firm Geronimo Law is calling for the consolidation of the Philippine cybersecurity enforcement functions, arguing that the current system of overlapping agencies creates confusion, duplicates work, and slows responses to cyber incidents.<\/p>\n

In a seven-page paper titled \u201cThe Fragmented State of Cyber Enforcement\u201d, the law firm mapped the roles of various government agencies involved in cybersecurity, cybercrime investigation, prosecution, and data privacy enforcement.<\/p>\n

According to the paper, the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) serves as the government\u2019s policy and strategy hub, helping shape national cybersecurity initiatives and overseeing the National Computer Emergency Response Team.<\/p>\n

The Department of Justice\u2019s Office of Cybercrime handles legal and international cooperation matters, while operational investigations are conducted separately by the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group and the National Bureau of Investigation\u2019s Cybercrime Division.<\/p>\n

The National Privacy Commission, meanwhile, focuses on data privacy violations and organizational accountability under the Data Privacy Act.<\/p>\n

The report argues that this division of responsibilities creates a complicated regulatory environment for organizations responding to cyber incidents.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current distributed layout is structurally confusing. Corporate victims navigating a major network breach face separate reporting demands and duplicate technical requirements,\u201d the paper stated.<\/p>\n

It added that organizations often need to coordinate with multiple agencies simultaneously, depending on the nature of the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey must answer to the privacy commission regarding data leakage, request strategic help from the cybercrime center, and choose between the bureau or the police for an active case,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

According to the analysis, the resulting fragmentation can strain government resources and create jurisdictional disputes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis fragmentation thins out state forensic resources and fuels unnecessary jurisdictional turf wars, slowing down critical incident response times,\u201d the paper noted.<\/p>\n

To address these issues, Geronimo Law proposed moving toward a single cyber enforcement authority that would centralize incident reporting, evidence preservation, and litigation processes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAchieving robust cyber resilience requires shifting toward a singular, unified enforcement authority to streamline incident reporting, data preservation, and litigation,\u201d the report concluded.<\/p>\n
