Your Say in Olongapo Subic

Internet cafés na may porn sites ipasasara

By: Marlon Purificacion - Journal online

NAIS ipasara ni Senador Ramon ‘Bong’ Revilla ang mga Internet cafe na patuloy na nagbibigay ng ‘access’ sa mga ‘child pornography websites.

Ang planong ito ng senador ay bilang suporta sa National Day of Awareness and Unity against Child Pornography ngayon.

Ayon sa senador, pinalalaki ng Internet technology ang produksyon at distribusyon ng child pornography bunsod ng simpleng “upload-download” na sistema ng pagkopya ng mga materyales.

Binigyang-diin niyang hindi lang dapat atupagin ng mga may-ari ng mga internet café ang kumita kundi pati na rin ang pagtulong sa gobyerno na maisulong ang isang child-friendly na lipunan.

“Hindi dapat abusuhin ang pakinabang ng mga modern communications system sa punto kunsintihin pa ang child pornography para lang kumita ng pera. Walang karapatang mag-operate kahit saan sa bansa ang mga internet cafes na pu-mapayag ng access sa kiddie porn at iba pang pornographic websites,” ani Revilla. “Maraming magagamit na programs na madali at ka-yang harangin ang access sa mga porn sites.”

Ito ang pahayag ni Revilla bilang suporta sa pagdeklara ngayong araw (Biyernes, Setyembre 28) ng Anti-Child Pornography Alliance (ACPA), isang Church-based group, bilang National Day of Awareness and Unity against Child Pornography.

Taumbayan kailangan

Pinuri ng mambabatas ang ACPA gayundin ang Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) dahil sa mga hakbang nito na maiangat ang kamalayan at kooperasyon ng publiko laban sa child pornography.

Pinunto pa niyang kailangan ng mga law-enforcement agencies ang tulong ng taumbayan para masugpo ang paglipana ng child pornography sa bansa.

“Pagiging mapagmasid ang magpapakita na talagang nagmamalasakit tayo sa mga bata. Bawat batang Pilipino ay may karapatan na maprotektahan laban sa exploitation sa ilalim ng child and youth welfare code. Natural sa kanila ang maglaro, pero hindi dapat sila pinaglalaruan o itrato bilang sex toy,” sabi ni Revilla.

Umapela siya sa mga lokal na gobyerno na kanselahin ang operating license ng mga internet café na pumapayag sa mga customer nito na galugarin at mag-download ng mga child pornographic materials. “Ang mga nagkasalang may Internet café owners ay kailangang kasuhan at habambuhay na i-ban na mag-operate,” dagdag niya.

Cybersex cafés dumarami
Sinabi ng United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) na bagaman mayroong ilang datos hinggil sa child prostitution, maaring hindi ito sumasalamin sa posibleng mas malaking bilang ng mga batang nabibiktima ng child pornography.

Inulat naman ng organisasyong End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes (ECPAT) na lumilitaw sa tala ng pulisya sa Pilipinas na tumataas ang paggamit ng mga phone ca-mera o tinatawag na “cyber-sex cafes” (kung saan pinapa-labas ang mga commercial sexual performances gamit ang web camera) para sa paglikha ng child porno-graphy.

Hanggang 20 taon kulong
Naunang inihain ni Revilla ng Senate Bill (SB) No. 12 o ang “Anti-Pornography Act” na layong magpataw ng mataas na parusa sa mga taong magpapalaganap at magpa-pakita ng kalaswaan sa pa-mamagitan ng mga tradisyunal na pamamaraan, ng Internet, ng “cyberspace”, at ng mga cellphone.

Internet reaching wider market of Filipinos abroad--Century

By Erwin Oliva - INQUIRER.net


MAKATI CITY, Philippines -- A local real estate developer said its Internet marketing strategy has helped them reach a "broader" market of Filipino expatriates most likely thinking of investing in property, an executive said Tuesday.

"The Internet is allowing us to reach a broader market of Filipinos abroad who have the spending power," said Jay Estaris, director of information technology of the Century Properties Group., in an interview.

About 80 percent of inquiries have come from the Internet, added Estaris.

During the launch of its P5-billion private residential project called Gramercy, Jose Eduardo Antonio, chairman of the Century Properties Group., acknowledged that retiring Filipino expatriates are now buying more prime properties in the country.

Despite the US economic crunch that has sent ripples throughout the world, the executive said he has not seen a decrease in the demand for its properties. He stressed that today's buyers are mostly "users" and not "speculators" who buy property with the objective of selling it when prices go up.

In an interview, Jose Marco Antonio, managing director of Centuries Properties Group, added the company has used both traditional and newer strategies to reach out to potential buyers abroad.

"But it is really best to target [Filipino expats] on the Internet," he added, noting that the company has used more creative ways to effectively engage potential clients using today's technology and the Internet.

Apart from its presence in at least 22 countries, Antonio said the company has established a real estate academy that trains sales people on various aspects of its business, including Internet marketing. It currently maintains two websites that promote and accept sales inquiries on the Internet.

But Estaris noted that the developer has been investing a lot on Internet marketing through online advertising and other "push technologies" such as e-mail campaigns. He declined to disclose how much the developer is investing on online advertising.

"The boom in the real estate property is now different because a lot of the buyers then were speculators. We now have a new set of buyers," Antonio said.

Third-party studies show that at least 30 percent of $14 billion worth of remittances of overseas Filipino workers now go to real estate-related spending, the executive added.

Cyber cops to stamp out human trafficking, child porn online

By Alcuin Papa - Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines -- Human traffickers, online child molesters and perpetrators of child pornography, beware!

The Philippine National Police (PNP) now has cyber cops surfing the Internet for websites that traffic Filipino women and children and abuse children online.

According to Director Geary Barias, chief of the PNP’s Directorate for Investigation and Detective Management, a proposal to set up a Women and Children’s Crimes Division (WCCD) in Camp Crame has been approved by the National Police Commission.

The new unit, which will be operational by end of August, will focus on child pornography and the trafficking of females, on and off the web.

On Thursday, around 100 police officers and government prosecutors finished a four-day course for law enforcers on how to address the trafficking of children and women on the Internet.

The seminar, held at the National Defense College of the Philippines (NDCP), featured speakers from international groups like the International Center for Missing and Exploited Children (ICMEC), the Interpol, the United States Embassy and Microsoft Phil.

“The seminar is an eye-opener for law enforcers on the existence of child pornography and human trafficking. We are committed to control all crimes, in the virtual world or otherwise,” Barias said.

He said it gave the PNP the opportunity to network with foreign counterparts and to strengthen relationships with international law enforcement agencies in the fight against transnational crimes.

Chief Superintendent Yolanda Tanigue, chief of the DIDM’s women and children’s crimes division, said the new cyber cops would be using “sting” and surveillance operations against child molesters.

“We will have agents posing as children online to chat with molesters. We can set up a meeting and nab them,” she said.

She said the law enforcers learned during the course that certain online communications could be used as evidence in cases against perpetrators.

In the case of websites featuring child pornography, Chief Superintendent Rodolfo Mendoza said the DIDM would use “computer forensics” to track down the operators of the website.

Incidents of online pornography involving women and children have been on the rise, Mendoza said.

Websites are proliferating in middle-class and slum areas because computers are now affordable and easy to set up to go online, according to him.

Ruben Rodriguez of the ICMEC described the campaign to stamp out child pornography as a global concern.

“There are officers around the world pursuing these offenders. They are conducting sting operations all over,” he said.

Rodriguez said local law enforcement needed to set its priorities right.

“It’s not that you don’t have the commitment. It’s more of what direction you want to take. What are the priorities and how much resources are you willing to put in? Fighting cybercrime is very resource-intensive,” Rodriguez said.

Philippine law enforcement also needed to keep abreast with new technology, he said.

“The Internet is evolving. What you learn today is passé in six months. To fight cyber crimes, you need a team of dedicated people who specialize in investigating these kinds of crimes,” Rodriguez said.
