Commission on Human Rights (CHR website)
Senate’s version on OSAEC, under Bill No. 2209, has been approved on second reading.
Published reports stated that the House of Representatives’ counterpart bills are slated for hearing on Thursday, May 27.
CHR Spokesperson and lawyer Jacqueline Ann de Guia said that OSAEC cases have significantly increased because of COVID-19. In fact, she said, the Department of Justice (DOJ) revealed that there was a 264.6 percent increase in OSAEC cases from May 2020 to March 2021 alone.
With the bill’s progress in the Senate, De Guia said the government is finally taking a step towards providing better protection of children — especially online where they face constant threats, even at home.
