Senator Leila de Lima on Monday renewed her call for the Senate to look into the status of the implementation of existing laws that aim to protect children from any forms of sexual abuse and violence.
De Lima made the call following reports of operatives of the Philippine National Police (PNP)-Regional Anti-Cybercrime Unit in Bicol rescuing 14 minors after raiding a cybersex den in Camarines Sur last May 7.
PLt. Angelo Babagay, team leader of the Camarines Sur Cyber Crime Response Team had confirmed that the youths recruited in the online child pornography operation by four suspected residents of Barangay San Antonio, ranged in ages from two to 17 years old.
