00:00But if you have a question about the law, she will answer it right away.

00:03Here is our lawyer of the law, Atty. Gabby Concepcion.

00:06Good morning, Atty. Happy Friday!

00:10Good morning to the one and only, Maris.

00:13This is really Anjo.

00:15Oh my!

00:16Everything that can be bought online, including brinjals, can now be mined.

00:21A cubadrona was caught because it was involved in the sale of brinjals online worth P25,000.

00:29The suspect's defense is that he had no intention of selling it,

00:32and he was just looking for a place to live.

00:35That's why he posted it on Facebook.

00:38What does the law say about these kinds of sales?

00:42Ask me, ask Atty. Gabby.

00:49Atty., even brinjals are now for sale online.

00:52These kinds of illegal transactions should not be registered on the online platform.

00:57They should only be mined online.

00:59What does the law say about this?

01:03Oh my!

01:04While it would seem like heaven fell,

01:07and buying baby online is a very easy solution for childless couples,

01:12don't!

01:13This is strictly prohibited under the law,

01:16and this is called child trafficking.

01:19And because the victim is a child,

01:21or if the parents are the ones selling it,

01:24this becomes qualified child trafficking,

01:27and the fine and prison for qualified child trafficking is a life imprisonment,

01:33and the fine will not go below P2,000,000,

01:36up to P5,000,000.

01:38That's huge, isn't it?

01:40And on that online platform,

01:42actually, I know that it has been requested for a long time,

01:44to remove it from those online platforms,

01:47but it seems like nothing has happened yet.

01:50So let's take a look at the next stories.

01:54Attorney defense of the suspect,

01:56he will just have the child aborted.

01:58Can you just post or talk to the child's public

02:01that he will be aborted?

02:03Of course not.

02:04That's child trafficking.

02:05If the child really wants to be aborted,

02:08the best thing to do is to go to the DSWD,

02:11or to a licensed child caring facility,

02:14and they will help you find the right way to abort a child.

02:18Because of our relatively new law,

02:20Republic Act 11642,

02:22abortions are now just an administrative process.

02:26There's no need for the court to go through

02:29the long and expensive process of abortion.

02:33Not anymore,

02:34just go to the Regional Alternative Child Care Office,

02:37or RACO,

02:38of the National Authority on Child Care,

02:40in your region,

02:41and they will advise and help you

02:44on how to abort a child.

02:46The process is now much faster,

02:48and this is in the best interest of the child

02:51so that we can ensure that they will go to a good home

02:57with a kind and loving parent.

03:00And if a child reaches you,

03:02and it looks like it's being sold,

03:03of course,

03:04abort it right away.

03:05Oh no,

03:06you're in a criminal case for child trafficking.

03:10Abort it,

03:11but of course,

03:12you need to make sure that the child is being taken care of.

03:15But if the child is really left to you,

03:17bring it to the DSWD or a child caring agency

03:20to reach the child.

03:22In any case,

03:23another advice we have,

03:24report and have it blotted right away.

03:27Why?

03:28So that it's officially stated that someone was found

03:30or someone left the child to you,

03:32for example.

03:33Because later on,

03:34you might be the one to be blamed.

03:36And say that you're the one who kidnapped the child,

03:38and not you.

03:39It's difficult, right?

03:41You might be the one to have a problem.

03:44And last but not least,

03:45there are many children who are looking for caregivers.

03:48If you have the opportunity,

03:50if you don't want to adopt a child,

03:51you may volunteer as foster parents.

03:54So that the child won't grow up in a foster home.

03:57It's always best for a child to grow up in a loving home.

04:00But the foster parents will also assess them

04:02before giving a child.

04:05In our discussion of the law,

04:07we will give a clear judgment here

04:09for the peace of mind.

04:12Wag magdalawang isip.

04:13Ask me, ask Atty. Gan.
