TOPIC: Another solon files bill vs. cyber trafficking

Another lawmaker has filed a bill in Congress that penalizes any acts of sexual exploitation of persons through the use of computers and the Internet.

A staff of Representative Isidro Ungab of the third District of Davao City confirmed that the lawmaker has filed House Bill No. 3249, which specifies fines of not less than P500,000 up to P1,000,000 or not less than two years but not more than five years’ imprisonment against persons found violating this proposed measure.

The bill, dubbed Anti-Cyber-Trafficking Act of 2007, aims to complement the existing law on Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003, which the lawmaker noted only covers domestic and international human trafficking.

The bill noted that “persons performing sexual acts in front of computers, video cameras or digital cameras are not aware that they are trapped into cyber trafficking and their human rights are violate.�

“While there are positive effects of computer technology, there are also negative effects, which include cyber-trafficking,� Ungab said, adding that there are more operations of so-called cybersex dens in the country.


may masasabi ba kayo?

Mas nauna pa dito yung bill ng kinatawan namin dito sa Marikina City, si Cong. Marcy Teodoro. For me meritorious naman nag mga bills na tumatalakay sa issue ng cyber trafficking.

Dito nga sa aming siyudad, well-covered ng ordinansa para sa mga lanshops ang issues ng pornography at cybersex crimes. Mura nga lang ang multa, P5k sa lanshop owner at P3k sa ma-involve sa anumang crime of similar nature.

Politicians are just grandstanding. We don't need these kind of laws, there are other laws which have stronger impact. More bang for our taxpayer's buck is what we need.

The legality of these proposed bill is as murky as pasig river.

basta may mapasa lang na bill.... haayzz..

as if catching them was that easy. kung wala pa magsumbong, walang mahuhuli. by that time, multi millionaire na mga yun. gasino na lang 1m fine sa kanila? magbibigay lang mga yun ng 2m bribe, wala na huhuli eh.

dapat kulong! ubusin ari-arian, hindi yang multa multa lang. gagawa lang ng bill, nakakatawa pa...

teka... ibig sabihin, d na kami pwede mag cybersex ni misis?!!! OH NO!!!<br><br>Post edited by: Bien, at: 2008/01/10 19:57
