00:00Just as it takes an entire village to rear a child, so does it entail a whole-of-government

00:06effort to put to bed the problem of online sexual abuse and child exploitation that has

00:12bedeviled the nation.

00:14Our Alan Francisco dwells deeper into the President's vow to put these repulsive human

00:20predators out of business, even as he nearly choked up in expressing empathy and compassion

00:26to the victims he heard and thought of this evening.

00:32President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. almost choked up and turned completely emotional

00:37as he sympathized with the young victims of abuse, particularly in hearing the story of

00:43a survivor of online sexual abuse and exploitation of children, or OSAI.

00:48These took place at an event in Makati City earlier with the theme, I isang nasyon, I

00:54isang aksyon, tapusin ng online sexual abuse or exploitation of children, ngayon Summit

01:002024.

01:01As I was listening to the young lady, and she is a lady, I could not help but shed a

01:11tear to think, to try to help to relive the suffering that she went through and to think

01:22how many other children are even, as we hear, sit in this fancy hotel room, eating our fancy

01:31food, continuing to suffer the same fate as she has.

01:40And the company to those tears I just shed was a deep sense of shame because we have

01:48not done enough for the Philippines to now be considered the epicenter of, let us not

01:57shorten it into a clinical term, OSAIC.

02:03It is sexual abuse and exploitation of children.

02:09And I leave it to your imagination.

02:12Thus President Marcos said, it is necessary to put an end to the abuse of children among

02:17the government's action, according to the President, is the Interagency Council Against

02:21Trafficking, as well as the establishment of the Presidential Office for Child Protection,

02:27which will focus on ensuring that every child in the country is protected and supported.

02:33On the legislative level, the President mentioned the Anti-OSAIC and Anti-SASAIC Act, along

02:39with the expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2022.

02:43He also highlighted the importance of effectively implementing the Philippines Internet Crimes

02:48Against Children initiative.

02:50The President called on everyone, including government agencies and international partners,

02:56to continuously promote the campaign against abuse.

02:59He emphasized once again that his administration will do everything in its power to fight crimes

03:05against children and punish those involved.

03:08We are here today to confront one of the greatest challenges of our time.

03:15The challenges that we face in government are always the challenges that are brought

03:19to us by the future.

03:22And what exemplifies our future more, what symbolizes our future more than our children.

03:28And that is why this strikes at the very heart of our society.

03:31It undermines the foundations of what we are, of who we are as a people.

03:37No less than our President, Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said that the most heinous and evil of

03:48all crimes are crimes committed against children, specifically sexual exploitation.

03:59And during this meeting, he ordered all of those present to immediately crack down on

04:06OSAIC.

04:08This is our President, a nagtatanggol sa ating kinabukasan.

04:14Meanwhile, the President went straight to attend the Partido Federal ng Pilipinas General

04:19Assembly and National Convention event in Manila.

04:22Here, he stressed the need for political parties to adjust to the evolving nature of campaigning.

04:28It's worth noting that next month marks the start of the filing of candidacies for next

04:33year's election.

04:34The President mentioned the alliances forging and forming with various political parties

04:39across the country.

04:40My rule to myself when we are campaigning is that it is directed to my father.

04:46He said that you should always be close to getting sick.

04:51But you should not get sick because it is a waste of days if you get sick.

04:55You cannot afford one or two days that you are not campaigning.

04:58So we just need to get a perfect balance.

05:01That is what we will do for all of you.
