00:00 The government has also imposed a campaign against online crime,
00:04 along with the establishment of a safer internet day in the Philippines.
00:08 Based on the data of the Interagency Council Against Trafficking,
00:11 there are more cases of child abuse and exploitation online.
00:16 This increase started during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic
00:20 when the use of the internet became widespread.
00:23 Salima Rafran has the first news.
00:28 The government has also imposed a campaign against online crime.
00:33 Based on the data of the Interagency Council Against Trafficking,
00:37 there are more cases of child abuse and exploitation online.
00:43 This increase started during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
00:47 The government has also imposed a campaign against online crime.
00:50 This increase started during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
00:56 Between 2019 and 2022,
00:59 there was a consistent rise in the reports of suspected child sexual exploitation materials online.
01:07 Alarmingly, 2021 saw the highest jump in these numbers,
01:12 from 21 million in 2020 to 29 million in 2021,
01:19 which can be attributed to the surge in internet usage during the onset of the pandemic.
01:25 According to the Department of Justice,
01:29 the most problematic is that for only P50,
01:31 there are materials of child abuse online.
01:36 It's like you're just transferring money for a massage or food.
01:40 But there's an underlying crime that is very dangerous.
01:46 We are conducting consultation and dialogue with money service businesses
01:52 that are not yet covered by the Anti-Money Laundering Act.
01:57 Internet service providers, search engines, and social media sites
02:02 have an obligation to help them avoid this.
02:05 Take down of contents containing child sexual abuse.
02:09 Preserving data is also one of the obligations.
02:13 Under the law, if there are child sexual abuse or ozaic-related activities
02:18 that are happening on their platforms,
02:20 they have an obligation to report it to the authorities within 24 hours under penalty of law.
02:26 According to the DOJ,
02:28 the number of ozaic cases in the Philippines has increased by 264% since the pandemic.
02:34 The youngest that we've encountered before when I was still in the DOJ was a 3-month-old baby.
02:39 The average of victims rescued is 4.
02:43 So they usually are rescued in groups.
02:47 Usually cousins, siblings.
02:50 It's sad to admit, but sometimes the perpetrators are even parents.
02:56 And what they say is that this is a source of poverty.
03:01 And secondly, there's no impact on the child because it's just pictures or videos.
03:09 We really need to educate not just the children but also the parents.
03:13 Various groups are doing programs for the children to avoid becoming victims
03:20 or to teach them how to report to the authorities.
03:23 If there are cases like this that are reported,
03:26 please do not believe us because these cases should not be believed unless the solution is given.
03:35 This is the first news in Nima Lafran for JMA Integrated News.
