00:00People filled a part of C6 Road in Barangay Santa Ana in Taytay, Rizal.

00:07What they're watching is hostage taking.

00:19A man hostage took his own child, who was only a year old.

00:26He stabbed the child with a knife.

00:28It took more than an hour for the authorities to negotiate before the suspect gave up.

00:34According to the police, the suspect first fought with the live-in partner before the hostage.

00:40The live-in partner saw the suspect stabbing his 13-year-old daughter.

00:48What does the law say about this?

00:51Ask me, ask Attorney Gabby.

00:55Attorney, what is the case if the hostage is your own child?

01:05Well, usually, if there's an incident of hostage taking,

01:08the case is kidnapping or serious illegal detention under Article 267 of the Revised Penal Code.

01:15So, in addition to possible cases of rape or acts of lasciviousness,

01:20there will also be possible cases of kidnapping and serious illegal detention

01:25because he detained his own child during the hostage taking.

01:29The problem is, if the victim of kidnapping and serious illegal detention is a minor,

01:37like in this case, or if there's a risk of killing the victim,

01:43the penalty is reclation perpetua to death.

01:47It becomes qualified.

01:48But because there's no death penalty,

01:50the penalty will be reclation perpetua in this case or almost 40 years of imprisonment.

01:57Attorney, it seems like the scenes became tele-series because it's a public place

02:03and it happened to a lot of people, that's why a lot of people took videos.

02:08Does the law say anything about taking videos in such sensitive crimes?

02:14Well, actually, taking videos in such cases is not a crime,

02:18especially in a public place.

02:21We can't avoid that.

02:23It's also important to have a video because it can be used as evidence if there's a case.

02:29Taking a video of a child is not a crime,

02:32and for example, if there's a robbery in his life,

02:36if there's a threat, he will qualify for the crime.

02:40The problem is what to do with that video other than using it as evidence.

02:46How can I post it as is,

02:49without pixelizing or blurring the face of the victim,

02:53without hiding it.

02:55Well, there will be an issue in showing the video to the public

02:58because it's probably a violation of privacy of a person,

03:03especially a minor victim.

03:05There can be a possible violation of our Data Privacy Laws

03:09if the content of our videos is personal information

03:13that should not just be blurred

03:17and distorted without the consent of the concerned parties.

03:22So, let's not just upload videos or videos of minors.

03:30It does not matter if it's a child in conflict with the law or a victim,

03:35the law still protects them.

03:38In discussing the law, we will make it clear here.

03:41You know, for the peace of mind, don't think twice.

03:47Ask me, ask Atty. Gabby.

04:06Thank you very much.
