SC advocates for protection of children vs. sexual abuse, exploitation
At the SaferKidsPH Culminating Event on Tuesday, Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo described SaferKidsPH as a 'beacon of hope' in the campaign against OSAEC.
He said the SC will continue to 'hold the door open to a better tomorrow for every FIlipino child.
Gesmundo also highlighted the High Court's efforts to strengthen judicial framework for child protection, including the establishment of an Anti-OSAEC TriCity Justice Zone in Cagayan de Oro City, Ozamis City, and Iligan City.
'As we celebrate these achievements, we recognize that our work is far from complete,' Gesmundo was quoted as saying in a statement.
'The Supreme Court remains steadfast in its commitment to this cause, collaborating with all stakeholders to ensure that every child is protected from harm, both in the digital realm and beyond,' he added.
The SC said the event also involved the Department of Justice, the Department of Social Welfare and Development, and the Council for the Welfare of Children, among other organizations. — Joahna Lei Casilao/RSJ, GMA Integrated News

Filipino seafarers claimed they were ‘framed,' deported due to alleged child pornography
Several Filipino seafarers traversing US territorial waters narrated on Wednesday how they got deported after they were 'falsely accused' of having access to child pornography materials. During a hearing of the Senate Committee on Migrant Workers, Earlson Jasmer Gamboa from M/V Carnival Sunshine said that when they were docked at the Port of Norfolk in Virginia, USA in July, armed officers from the US Customs and Border Protection told him that they would conduct an electronic gadget inspection. 'Nung time na may dumating na isang lalaki na matangkad, armado din siya, ito ang move niya pagpasok niya…Dinirekta niya po ako na gusto niyang matapos kaagad 'to, wala raw akong ibang gagawin kundi sagutin lahat ng itatanong niya. Kung magsinunggaling daw ako, magbabayad ako ng 250,000 dollars at mako-convict ako ng…up to 10 years,' the seafarer recalled. (An armed guy arrived and told me directly that he wanted to finish this quickly. He said I don't have to do anything but answer all his questions. If I lie, he said I would have to pay a fine of 250,000 dollars and may be convicted for up to 10 years.) 'Wala silang nakita [sa gallery]. Wala akong kahit anong klase ng pornography,' he said, when asked by panel chairman Raffy Tulfo when anything was found on his phone during the inspection. (They didn't find anything. I don't have any kind of pornography on my phone.) Despite this, Gamboa said he, along with his fellow Filipino seafarers, were deported weeks later without any explanation, and they claimed that they were forced to sign a document. Romeo Samonte, another seafarer from M/V Vision of the Seas, also shared his own experience at the airport, saying he was accused of having a child sexual video of his very own son. ''Yung 3-year-old son ko, kinekwestyon nila na bakit daw namin hinahalikan ng misis ko…may video [sa cellphone] ng anak ko…kini-kiss namin. Walang short 'yung isa, bale tatlo po kasi 'yun eh. But I never exploited, I never shared it,' he said. (I was questioned why my wife and I were kissing our 3-year-old son. I had a video of my son on my phone, where we were kissing him. One of my children had no shorts on. But I never exploited, I never shared it.) 'No due process' Tulfo then asked the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) for assistance, saying he wants to see the evidence of the US Immigration against the Filipino seafarers. 'Ito 'yung nakakalungkot eh, pagdaong ng barko sa isang lugar…naharang sila, kinatok 'yung kanilang mga pinto, pinagbintangan na meron silang child pornography materials sa kanilang cell phones. Sinasabi nila na wala naman talaga and then outright kinulong sila at dineport,' the elder Tulfo said. (This is the sad thing—when the ship docked in an area, the Immigration blocked the seafarers, accused them of having child pornography materials on their cell phones. The seafarers denied it but then they were detained and deported.) Outgoing DFA Undersecretary for Migrant Workers Affairs Eduardo de Vega, in response, said he would coordinate with the US Immigration on the matter. 'Fina-follow up…hindi sumasagot ang immigration kasi walang criminal charge, basta deportation which is sovereignty daw nila. However, pangako namin, ni bagong Usec, we will follow up,' de Vega said. (We've been following up but the immigration was not answering because there was no criminal charge, only outright deportation on claims of sovereignty. But we will do a follow-up.) Migrant Workers Undersecretary Bernard Olalia, meanwhile, said that the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) has conducted an investigation with the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) and found that Filipino seafarers who were deported were all aboard passenger and cruise ships. He said the ports involved were all from the US, and the affected seafarers were linked with six licensed manning agencies. 'There are 93, as of today, seafarers deported. Of these 93 seafarers deported, seven were deported prior to January 2025. After January 2025, 87 were deported under the present US administration,' Olalia said. 'The [93 seafarers] were never arrested for having in possession of child pornographic materials. Wala po silang kaso. Wala pong kasong sinampa [no cases were filed against them],' he added. Prior to 2025, the DMW official noted that eight seafarers were found in possession of child pornographic materials—four of whom were arrested, two were deported, and the trial of two others are still ongoing. The Philippine Embassy in Washington last month issued an advisory against possession and distribution of child pornography in the US amid "increasing incidents onboard vessels in American waters." Since the Biden administration assumed office, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation and the US Customs and Border Protection have conducted a series of arrests of cruise ship employees due to alleged child pornography.—LDF, GMA Integrated News

3 human trafficking victims bound for Singapore rescued in Davao
Three Filipino human trafficking victims who were allegedly recruited to work as entertainers in Singapore were rescued by the Bureau of Immigration (BI) at the Davao International Airport. According to the BI, immigration personnel intercepted the three victims — aged 20 and 18 — while attempting to board a Scoot Airlines flight to Singapore. They initially claimed to be colleagues travelling for holiday, but further verification confirmed that they have been recruited to work as entertainers abroad. An investigation showed two of them were actually from Luzon and traveled all the way to Davao for the trip. One of the victims admitted her neighbor in Davao introduced her to a Manila-based contact, who facilitated their illegal travel. The victims did not pay anything for their recruitment but were told that expenses of 5,000 SGD will be deducted from their salary. 'This is a form of debt bondage,' said BI Commissioner Joel Anthony Viado. 'This is a clear case of human trafficking, wherein our kababayan are made to agree to unfair arrangements. In many cases, women who are promised work as entertainers are later forced to work in the sex trade,' he added. The victims were turned over to the inter-agency council against trafficking in Davao. Authorities said they identified two possible recruiters that arrange their travel and are looking into two other immigration personnel that may be involved in the case. 'We commend the swift action of our immigration officers who thwarted this attempt to traffic women out of the country only to be exploited abroad. This interception shows that our multiple layers of security is effective in stopping any such attempts,' said Viado. —VAL, GMA Integrated News

SC issues amended guidelines on child rape cases
The Supreme Court (SC) on Wednesday announced that it has expanded the scope of the term 'qualified rape of a minor' and increased the minimum damages awarded to victims. According to the SC, 'qualified rape of a minor' should be used when the elements of both statutory rape and qualified rape are present. 'The crime shall be denominated as qualified rape of a minor and not qualified statutory rape if any of the special qualifying aggravating circumstances in Article 266-B of the RPC is present and when the victim is below the statutory age or is suffering from mental retardation comparable to the intellectual capacity of a child below the statutory age,' it said. Previously, only the victim's minority and relationship, age of below seven, and knowledge of the victim's mental disability were included. Meanwhile, the SC also increased the minimum amount of damages that may be awarded. It said P150,000 each for civil indemnity, moral damages, and exemplary damages in qualified rape of a minor, P100,000 each in qualified rape, and P75,000 each in statutory rape. 'These amounts may be increased if the accused showed cruelty in committing the crime,' the SC said. Under the RPC, the SC said that statutory rape is committed when a man has sexual intercourse with a girl below 12 years of age, even without force, threat, or intimidation. This also applies to sexual intercourse with a woman whose intellectual age is below 12. However, it said that Republic Act 11648 raised the threshold to 16 years old. Meanwhile, the SC said that qualified rape applies to sexual intercourse with a woman against her will committed under abuse of authority, moral ascendancy, relationship, or the victim's vulnerability. 'The term qualified rape applies when any of the special qualifying aggravating circumstances is present, but the victim is neither below the statutory age nor suffering from mental retardation,' the SC said. 'On the other hand, the term statutory rape applies when no special qualifying aggravating circumstance is present, but the victim is below the statutory age or is suffering from mental retardation,' it added. The SC issued the guidelines as it denied the motion for reconsideration filed by a man convicted of raping his eight-year-old daughter. —VAL, GMA Integrated News
