This kind of harassment of innocent people must stop,' he said while speaking to BM.

The Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC) has launched guidelines for media and content creators on how to cover stories involving children in vulnerable situations. CWC Executive Director Angelo Tapales said the guidelines emphasize prioritizing the dignity and privacy of children in the reports.

The CWC official noted that the guidelines aim to protect children who need special protection or who are victims of violence, cruelty, and exploitation. 'Keep in mind that the child you are interacting with may be experiencing or may have experienced trauma.

'Let's always maintain anonymity and confidentiality. Kapag biktima 'yan ng panga-abuso [If they are a victim of abuse], always blur the faces, do not divulge the identity…huwag din tayo mag-divulge ng [let us also not divulge] any identifying circumstances,' said Tapales. — BM, GMA Integrated News
