    Online sexual abuse of children is a significant problem in the Philippines, according to UNICEF data showing 20% of minors aged 12-17 have been victims. New laws provide tools for authorities to address these crimes by tasking online platforms and internet shops to preserve evidence, remove offensive materials, and report crimes. However, more remains to be done as many sites promoting this abuse remain active. Cooperation between law enforcement and citizens is needed to utilize technology for preventing access to exploitative materials and solving these crimes.

    Online Sexual Abuse in the Philippines

    Social media platforms manipulate children. According to UNICEF, 20% of minors aged 12-17 have been
    sexually abused online. The new exploitation of children acts provides an institutional approach against
    these crimes. Online platforms were tasked to preserve the evidence and take down any offensive
    materials and report the crime to the authorities. Even internet shops were tasked to block or filter sites
    that might contain any sexually explicit activities involving children. Although there is a law for this,
    many citizens still think that it is useless if they don't start banning those sites that cause the crimes.
    Since they can still sexualize after they have been caught because the site is still active. PNPs and NBIs
    have seen code words before which raises red flags in their minds, minor try to disguise and use
    different terms of words to prevent any suspicion. Senator Risa Hontiveros also once expressed grave
    concern about this issue where the minors themselves spread their private photos and videos in
    exchange for money. She said that the law is in the right direction but much more still needs to be done.
    Law enforcement can only do enable with the state of technology that we have to reach all the
    googleable materials, sites, or even groups. To prevent and solve this, we citizens must cooperate and
    help the government by avoiding all unnecessary and offensive doings
