00:00But if you have a question about the law, she will answer it right away.
00:03Here is our lawyer of the law, Atty. Gabby Concepcion.
00:06Good morning, Atty. Happy Friday!
00:10Good morning to the one and only, Maris.
00:13This is really Anjo.
00:15Oh my!
00:16Everything that can be bought online, including brinjals, can now be mined.
00:21A cubadrona was caught because it was involved in the sale of brinjals online worth P25,000.
00:29The suspect's defense is that he had no intention of selling it,
00:32and he was just looking for a place to live.
00:35That's why he posted it on Facebook.
00:38What does the law say about these kinds of sales?
00:42Ask me, ask Atty. Gabby.
00:49Atty., even brinjals are now for sale online.
00:52These kinds of illegal transactions should not be registered on the online platform.
00:57They should only be mined online.
00:59What does the law say about this?
01:03Oh my!
01:04While it would seem like heaven fell,
01:07and buying baby online is a very easy solution for childless couples,
01:12don't!
01:13This is strictly prohibited under the law,
01:16and this is called child trafficking.
01:19And because the victim is a child,
01:21or if the parents are the ones selling it,
01:24this becomes qualified child trafficking,
01:27and the fine and prison for qualified child trafficking is a life imprisonment,
01:33and the fine will not go below P2,000,000,
01:36up to P5,000,000.
01:38That's huge, isn't it?
01:40And on that online platform,
01:42actually, I know that it has been requested for a long time,
01:44to remove it from those online platforms,
01:47but it seems like nothing has happened yet.
01:50So let's take a look at the next stories.
01:54Attorney defense of the suspect,
01:56he will just have the child aborted.
01:58Can you just post or talk to the child's public
02:01that he will be aborted?
02:03Of course not.
02:04That's child trafficking.
02:05If the child really wants to be aborted,
02:08the best thing to do is to go to the DSWD,
02:11or to a licensed child caring facility,
02:14and they will help you find the right way to abort a child.
02:18Because of our relatively new law,
02:20Republic Act 11642,
02:22abortions are now just an administrative process.
02:26There's no need for the court to go through
02:29the long and expensive process of abortion.
02:33Not anymore,
02:34just go to the Regional Alternative Child Care Office,
02:37or RACO,
02:38of the National Authority on Child Care,
02:40in your region,
02:41and they will advise and help you
02:44on how to abort a child.
02:46The process is now much faster,
02:48and this is in the best interest of the child
02:51so that we can ensure that they will go to a good home
02:57with a kind and loving parent.
03:00And if a child reaches you,
03:02and it looks like it's being sold,
03:03of course,
03:04abort it right away.
03:05Oh no,
03:06you're in a criminal case for child trafficking.
03:10Abort it,
03:11but of course,
03:12you need to make sure that the child is being taken care of.
03:15But if the child is really left to you,
03:17bring it to the DSWD or a child caring agency
03:20to reach the child.
03:22In any case,
03:23another advice we have,
03:24report and have it blotted right away.
03:27Why?
03:28So that it's officially stated that someone was found
03:30or someone left the child to you,
03:32for example.
03:33Because later on,
03:34you might be the one to be blamed.
03:36And say that you're the one who kidnapped the child,
03:38and not you.
03:39It's difficult, right?
03:41You might be the one to have a problem.
03:44And last but not least,
03:45there are many children who are looking for caregivers.
03:48If you have the opportunity,
03:50if you don't want to adopt a child,
03:51you may volunteer as foster parents.
03:54So that the child won't grow up in a foster home.
03:57It's always best for a child to grow up in a loving home.
04:00But the foster parents will also assess them
04:02before giving a child.
04:05In our discussion of the law,
04:07we will give a clear judgment here
04:09for the peace of mind.
04:12Wag magdalawang isip.
04:13Ask me, ask Atty. Gan.
