00:00The administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has decided to end the online sexual abuse and exploitation of children
00:09through the joint movement of the entire government force.
00:13That's what Alan Francisco wrote live. Alan?
00:18Dayan, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. made his first statement yesterday
00:26regarding the government's fight against online sexual abuse in Makati City.
00:38This has a theme, a nation, an action.
00:41End online sexual abuse and exploitation of children or OSAIC Summit 2024.
00:47Based on studies, the Philippines is the center of online sexual abuse.
00:52One in every 100 Filipinos is a victim of sexual abuse.
00:56That's why in his message, President R. Marcos expressed his sympathy to victims of sexual abuse.
01:03Particularly to a woman who told in an event earlier that she is a survivor of sexual abuse.
01:11As I was listening to the young lady, and she is a lady,
01:17I could not help but shed a tear to think, to try, to help to relive the suffering that she went through.
01:30And to think how many other children are even, as we hear, sit in this fancy hotel room
01:39eating our fancy food, continuing to suffer the same fate as she has.
01:48And accompanying those tears that I just shed was a deep sense of shame
01:55because we have not done enough for the Philippines to now be considered the epicenter
02:05of, let us not shorten it into a clinical term, OSAIC.
02:12It is sexual abuse and exploitation of children.
02:18And I leave it to your imagination.
02:22That is why President R. Marcos said, this must end.
02:26The government must look at the fight against sexual abuse against children.
02:31As part of the action of the government, according to the President,
02:34is the Interagency Council Against Trafficking,
02:36and the initiation of the Administration of the Presidential Office for Child Protection
02:41which will be the center of efforts to ensure that every child in the country is protected and supported.
02:47At the legislative level, according to the President, there is the Anti-OSAIC and Anti-CISAIM Act
02:54and also the Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2022.
02:58This is also a big thing, the effective implementation of the Philippine Internet Crimes Against Children
03:04which President Marcos also called on all government agencies and international partners
03:09to continue with the campaign against sexual abuse.
03:12If given the President's D.N. again, his Administration will do everything to fight crimes against children
03:19and to punish those involved here.
03:22Meanwhile, the President continues the event of his visit
03:25to the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas General Assembly and National Convention here in Manila.
03:31Here, President Marcos gave the D.N. the adjustment to the political parties in the new year of the campaign.
03:37If you remember, next month, the filing of candidacy for the election will start next year.
03:43President Marcos called for the alliance between the different parties in the country.
03:50We are now forming it because the leadership and the assignments of the different areas
03:58and the different areas that need to be attended to are now at least filled
04:04so we can now carry on with the actual nuts and bolts of our campaign.
04:11We are now thinking of how we will do it.
04:15It is not a small thing that we will schedule and how we will do the scheduling.
04:23It becomes a little bit more involved because it is not only the PFP that is moving.
04:28Although we are the lead party, we are together in the alliance and the different parties are together.
04:36All the big parties in the Philippines are now together.
04:40We have to do all of this in conjunction with them.
04:47And live from Manila, back to you, Dayan.
04:51Thank you very much, Alan Francisco.
