00:00One in every 100 Filipino children is a victim of online sexual abuse based on their education.
00:07President Bongbong Marcos himself heard the story of one of the victims and he ordered that this should be stopped.
00:14Here is my first news.
00:16My name is Charito, a survivor of online sexual abuse and exploitation of children.
00:25At the young age of 11 years old, she was forced to dance while being watched online.
00:31Violet, who is also a member of the Global Survivor Network of Osaic,
00:37experienced sexual abuse at the age of 8.
00:42It's hard to fathom who you will approach, who you will trust.
00:47Of course, you are also afraid to have the community judge you.
00:53Because if you say you were sexually abused, it's your fault if you were abused.
00:59President Bongbong Marcos, who was crying while listening to the story of the abuse of Filipino children by Osaic, was also shocked.
01:09Accompanying those tears that I just shed was a deep sense of shame because we have not done enough
01:19for the Philippines to now be considered the epicenter of, let us not shorten it into a clinical term, Osaic.
01:31It is sexual abuse and exploitation of children.
01:38And I leave it to your imagination.
01:40And I would imagine in some cases, your imagination cannot even begin to fathom what is done to these poor children, to our poor children.
01:52According to the International Justice Mission, in 2022,
01:56one in every 100 Filipino children was a victim of sexual abuse in the making of online sexual exploitation material.
02:02It is an appalling statistic.
02:05We cannot allow this to continue.
02:09We will not allow it to continue.
02:11Until now, the Philippines is considered the epicenter of child pornography materials.
02:17From 2022 to this year, more than 1,000 victims were rescued and more than 100 arrested.
02:23But this should not be considered, according to the President, because we will all be saved.
02:28We should think of those who continue to act in what he considers to be the most dangerous crime against humanity.
02:34This is the first news. Ivan Merina for GMA Integrated News.
