00:00Paano ka lang batas na mag-regulate sa mga kabataan ng paggamit ng social media?
00:05Ating pag-uusapan kasama si Undersecretary Angelo Tapales, Executive Director ng Council for the Welfare of Children.
00:12Yusek Tapales, magandang tanghali po.
00:17Ikaw, magandang tanghali po.
00:19Asek Queng and Asek Albert, thank you for inviting the Council for the Welfare of Children to.
00:24Thank you, Yusek.
00:25Una po sa lahat, ano po ang pananaw ng Council for the Welfare of Children sa panukalang batas na nag-regulate sa mga minor de edad na mag-access ng ating mga social media platforms?
00:39Asek Albert, yung regulation, wini-welcome po namin yan kasi syempre marami pong threats na talagang nasasadlak ang ating mga bata.
00:49Yung mga minors po natin, below 18 po yan, whether this is cyberbullying na mataas pa rin, ano, base sa datos ng Department of Education.
00:59Ang online sexual abuse or exploitation of children, base po sa mga nare-receive po nating cyber tip line reports from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children sa US, mataas pa rin po yan.
01:10At iba't ibang scams pa po, no, at mga panilin lang, fake news, misinformation laban sa bata.
01:17Ang medyo hindi lang po ako sigurado pa kasi syempre nung, siguro, disclosure, hindi ko pa nababasa yung proposed legislation.
01:27We are trying to get a copy from our Senate contacts, ano, kasi wala pa po yata sa website.
01:35Pero based on the materials published online, dun sa mga news agencies po natin, it would appear that there will be a total ban for minors to use social media.
01:46So, dun lang po kami medyo, siguro, may proposed revisions lang, ano, kasi I don't think na lahat naman po ng minors, eh, I don't think kailangan silang iba, ano, because at the end of the day, we are balancing the rights of children to child protection and yung right to participate naman nila into information, ano, na iginagalang po din ng ating saligang batas, ito ang batas po, ano.
02:13So, dun lang po kami siguro may proposed innovations, siguro, if ever.
02:17So, Yusek, sa inyong palagay, paano naman po makatutulong ito para maprotektahan yung mga kabataan laban sa mga online harms, gaya ng cyberbullying, fake news, lalong-lalo na po sa exploitation?
02:31Maraming po ang maitutulong nitong paano kalang batas ni Senator Laxon.
02:34In fact, yung mga iba pong nakasulat dito na gustong higpitan yung mga social media po natin, like,
02:41they will be required to install mechanisms, so yung mga safety by design mechanisms po nila, mga verification mechanisms po nila, no,
02:52facial recognition, yan po ay makakatulong para po siguraduhin na hindi sobrang bata
02:59or yung mga sobrang batang minors po natin ay nakaka-access at nakaka-account sa social media
03:04dahil, siyempre po, sa mga pag-aaral po, more often than not sila po yung mga hindi pa nakakaintindi ng panganib sa internet or sa social media
03:13at nabibiktima po ng mga sexual predators natin or mga scammers.
03:17Ito pong mga ibang proposals po dito, basis sa mga materials na nabasa ko po,
03:23ay align din po doon sa anti-online o site design act po natin na nag-declare po.
03:29Nag-mandate po sa mga internet intermediaries na mag-block po ng access kunyari
03:35o mag-take down ng mga harmful materials po, no,
03:39mag-install ng mechanisms to prevent and detect online sexual abuse materials kunyari
03:44o pati po yung mga pag-aibasi settings or default safety or mechanisms for children, no,
03:52pati yung mga age verification protocols na binabanggit doon sa materials na nabasa ko,
03:57eh yan din po ay tinutulak ng anti-ocycism act po natin.
04:02Yusek, para po sa CWC, ano po ang mga dapat isaalang-alang ng mambabatas
04:07upang masiguro na hindi nalalabag ang karapatan ng mga bata?
04:12Lalo pa at ginagamit din ito bilang source of information and means of communication, Yusek?
04:19Opo, tama po, no, ASEC, Albert, napakagandang punto po nung ginawa nyo, no,
04:24nung sinabi nyo, in fact, doon sa anti-ocycism act,
04:27kinilala po dito yung right ng children to useful, meaningful, and safe access to digital technologies.
04:34Kasi nga po, tama yung sinabi nyo, ASEC, talagang source of information po ito.
04:39Actually, kami po sa Council for the Welfare of Children,
04:41we have a good social media presence, and even our children coordinators po,
04:46yung mga champions and representatives po namin na bata,
04:49dyan po sila nakakakuha ng information sa amin, they engage with us,
04:54they share our advocacies, and dyan po namin na-warn din yung mga bata, no,
04:59about, kunyari, yung mga dangers of online sexual abuse, cyber bullying,
05:05pati yung mga iligal at sumusobrang mga child beauty pageants and photoshoots,
05:10sa social media and internet po namin talaga tinatarget ang mga bata, no.
05:15Ngayon po, we are in the process of addressing ASEC with the DSWD,
05:23yung may Project Safe Program ang DSWD.
05:26Isang po sa mga strategies po kasi dito,
05:29maliban sa targeting ang education ng bata sa abuso online through the schools,
05:36or through their parents sa mga LGUs,
05:38yung mga campaigns din po sa mga social media at sa internet,
05:41dyan din po nating idadaan para po maabot talaga natin ang mga bata,
05:45o mas maraming bata sa ating bansa, no.
05:47So, again, we have to balance the right of children to be protected,
05:51na talagang isinusulong nitong napakagandang bill na to.
05:54Pero at the same time, meron kasi tayong right to participation din,
05:58to information, merong mature minor doctrine,
06:01at saka yung youth child development,
06:05kasi ngayon kinikilala na yung kanilang agency,
06:08o yung buong pagkataon na nila, kahit minor sila.
06:11So, we also have to respect that.
06:13So, I think it's a matter of balancing, maganda po yung bill,
06:16but yun nga, we have to balance it with the right to participate in information ng mga bata.
06:21Yusek, base po sa karanasan ng CWC,
06:24gaano po ba kahirap yung pagtukoy sa tunay na edad ng isang bata online?
06:28Ano po kaya yung risk at saka challenges nito?
06:33Mahirap po yan.
06:33Actually, kahit sa ibang bansa,
06:35kunyari for online sexual abuse,
06:37kunyari nabanggit doon sa isang material na nabasa ko about the proposed legislation,
06:42yung mga practices Australia or even in other countries,
06:45hindi lang po facial recognition ang ginagamit nila dyan.
06:49Kasi minsan nga, pag kunyari Asian,
06:51mas mahira pong malaman yung edad.
06:52Siguro ba, mas maliliit ba tayo?
06:55Or iba yung features natin?
06:57Kaya po may mga technologies din po, kunyari,
06:59may mga software na hindi lang po yung likeness or image,
07:03pati po yung voice.
07:04Yan po ay ini-examine din yung skin color.
07:06Marami pong methods.
07:07Pero I think the bottom line is,
07:10we have to rely on technology to address the dangers of being faced by children online.
07:18I know yung iba may apprehension siguro dyan.
07:21Baka makaka-violate daw ng mga karapatan natin or something.
07:24But we have to remember that based on the 2022 study,
07:30kunyari, yung disrupting harm study on online sexual abuse,
07:3495% ng children natin, age 12 to 17, ay nasa internet po gumagamit.
07:40At nung 2021, yung 95% na yan po, na nabanggit ko,
07:4420% po dyan ang na-victima ng online sexual abuse.
07:48So when we scale that up to population in 2021,
07:52we're talking about 2 million children.
07:55So hindi po yan biro.
07:57So sometimes we have to balance our rights also with child protection.
08:01And syempre yung paggamit ng internet,
08:03I think it's more of a privilege, hindi naman yan na absolute.
08:08So the government as parents of the people
08:11have all the power really to regulate this.
08:14At yan po ang tinututukan talaga ng ating pamahalaan.
08:17Even the president is heavily invested on preventing
08:20or curving down the incidence of Osaki in our country.
08:24Yusak, medyo babalikan namin ng konti yung tanong sa facial recognition.
08:28Medyo natawa nga kami dito ni Asika Wing.
08:30Bilang tagapagtanggol ng kapakanan ng kabataan,
08:33nabanggit nyo na, parang how reliable ba?
08:35Anong opinion ninyo?
08:37Talaga bang hindi nila nakikita yung edad natin kapag asano tayo?
08:40Nabanggit nyo kanina.
08:42At hindi ba nabanggit nyo yung rights sa privacy?
08:45Can we talk about more yung pagiging invasive, di umano,
08:48nung teknolohiyang ito para sa mga bata?
08:52Opo.
08:52Sa akin naman, hindi naman not necessarily invasive po ito.
08:56Kasi siguro, social media is,
09:00siguro, we can say that it's a public domain.
09:04So kahit sa legal terms po, sa legal practice po, sa mga abugado,
09:08alam po nila na merong mga lugar po
09:10na yung expectation of privacy mo ay medyo mababawasan.
09:14Kunyari sa mga airports po, no?
09:16So pag nagkaroon ng search dyan sa mga bagahe mo o sa sarili mo,
09:20hindi ka pwedeng mag-argue-argue ng mga privacy
09:22because of that lesser expectation of privacy, no?
09:26Siguro, to, ano, no?
09:29An analogous would be social media or cyberspace din, no?
09:33If you want to access a platform,
09:36there can be regulations or restrictions to your rights, no?
09:40So kailangan i-verify ang identity mo
09:42at yung age, no?
09:44And ito po ay talagang, ano po, no?
09:48Tinatakda po ng batas to, as I mentioned earlier,
09:51based on the anti-OSAIC-SYM Act,
09:55Internet intermediaries, which include social media platforms,
09:59are required to have safety measures like this,
10:02yung mga age verification protocols,
10:04to ensure that yung mga bata,
10:06na sobrang bata talaga,
10:08baka naman mas maprotektahan po natin
10:10by regulating their use.
10:13Mga babyface sa mga Pilipino, di ba?
10:17Anyway, Yusek,
10:18ano po yung nakikita ninyong hamon
10:20sa implementation nito,
10:21lalo na sa mga kabataan
10:22gumagamit ng social media,
10:24gamit yung shared devices,
10:26account ng kanilang magulang,
10:27kasi yung iba, pinipike yung edad, eh.
10:29Kahit mga 12 years old pa lang,
10:31ilalagay nila 18 years old na sila.
10:32Or po ka-phone nung magulang nila
10:33yung ginagamit nila, Yusek?
10:36Opo.
10:37Alam nyo po, totoo po yan, ano?
10:38Maraming, hindi lang yung mag-asawa
10:40ang shared na, ano, no?
10:41Uso kasi yan, eh.
10:42Hindi ko alam kung bakit din shared
10:44mag-asawa sa Facebook.
10:45Yung iba naman, nanay at anak,
10:47o tatay yung at anak, ano?
10:49So, dito po sa pagkakataong pong ito kasi,
10:52hindi po lalo ma-regulate
10:55ang presence ng bata sa social media
10:58at syempre,
11:00ang threat po kasi sa social media
11:02aside, syempre,
11:03dun sa magandang aspeto
11:04na nakakakuha sila ng tamang information,
11:07yung nakakatisod naman sila
11:08ng maling information.
11:10So, yung challenge po dyan,
11:11if we, number one,
11:13if we create accounts for our children,
11:16whether individual na medyo pineke
11:19o hindi tama yung declaration,
11:21or kasama po natin,
11:23we are unnecessarily exposing them
11:25to harmful materials.
11:28Kaya nga po ang approach
11:29ng Council for the Welfare of Children
11:31dyan,
11:31ang DSWD also,
11:33is we have to empower parents also.
11:35May parenting in the digital age module
11:38kami na tinuturo din.
11:40Because,
11:40ang parents po,
11:42ang dapat unang nangangalaga sa bata,
11:44and first and foremost,
11:45you have to know
11:46how to use the internet,
11:48how to use cyberspace,
11:49social media,
11:50and the gadgets.
11:50Pag hindi mo alam ang dangers dyan,
11:52eh yan,
11:52baka ganyan po ang gagawin mo.
11:54Gagawan mo ng account,
11:55kahit five years old lang yung anak mo,
11:57o kunyari po,
11:58post ka ng post,
12:01nag-vlog ka or something,
12:02exposing the likeness of your child or children.
12:06So, yan po,
12:07ay ina-address po natin.
12:09Pero sana nga po,
12:10yung social media platforms
12:12through legislation,
12:13eh dapat po,
12:14sila rin po ay mag-self-regulate po.
12:17Yusek,
12:18ano pa po yung mga tingin
12:19yung rekomendasyon
12:20ng CWC
12:21upang mapabuti pa
12:22ang panukalang batas na ito?
12:26Siguro,
12:27ang una pong approach namin dyan,
12:29number one,
12:30we would examine
12:31the proposed legislation
12:32and harmonize it
12:33with the existing
12:35anti-OSA-XSIM Act.
12:36Bago lang po kasi
12:37itong batas na ito,
12:38July 2022
12:39na isa batas,
12:40May 2023,
12:42pinirmahan yung
12:42implementing rules and regulations.
12:44The implementation
12:45now is in full swing.
12:46Even LGUs
12:47are required to comply
12:48with the anti-OSA-XSIM Act.
12:51So,
12:52we have to align it
12:53with the anti-OSA-XSIM Act.
12:55Number two,
12:56we have to balance again
12:57yung sinasabi ko nga kanina,
12:58the right to be protected
13:00saka doon sa right
13:00to participate naman
13:01ng mga bata
13:02saka yung access
13:03nila to information.
13:05And also,
13:06siguro,
13:07sometimes po kasi,
13:09perhaps,
13:10the easiest way
13:11to solve a problem
13:12is just to prohibit
13:13the use of
13:14all people,
13:15or kunyari,
13:16all children.
13:17But there are,
13:18I think,
13:20less stringent ways
13:23to manage the problem.
13:24At the same time,
13:26marispeto pa rin
13:26yung karapatan
13:27ng mga bata.
13:28But of course,
13:28we agree with the author
13:29that child protection
13:30has to be promoted
13:32especially online
13:33kasi mahirap pong
13:34makontrol yan.
13:36And even AI,
13:37child sexual abuse materials po,
13:38may reports
13:39two,
13:40three weeks ago po,
13:40yung anak ng isang
13:41influencer
13:43na di umano
13:44ay na biktima
13:45ng child sexual abuse
13:47materials
13:48na AI generated.
13:49So we have to
13:50address that also.
13:52Kaya naniniwala po kami
13:53child protection is important
13:54but sometimes
13:55we have to temper it
13:56because there are
13:57other rights of children.
13:58Katulad yung right
13:59to participate,
14:00yung right to access
14:01to information.
14:03So, Yusek,
14:04sa halip na total ban,
14:05may alternative po ba
14:06kayong paraan
14:07tulad ng supervised access
14:09o limited features
14:10para sa mga bata
14:10ng gumagamit
14:11ng social media
14:12or yung mga magulang
14:13na pinapagamit
14:14yung social media
14:15may mga tiktork
14:16kasi na mga bata,
14:17may mga vlogger
14:18na mga bata,
14:19kumikita sila eh.
14:20Kumikita.
14:21So ano po ba
14:21yung alternative sir
14:22na pwedeng
14:23i-suggest ninyo?
14:25Opo,
14:26siguro ang unang
14:27masasabi ko na dyan
14:28pero ayun nga po,
14:29hindi ko pa nababasa
14:30yung billa no.
14:30But based on the statements
14:31po na materials
14:32na lumabas,
14:33articles,
14:34we support of course
14:35all the
14:36restrictions there
14:38doon sa mga
14:38social media
14:39platforms natin,
14:41they have to install
14:42safety by design
14:43mechanisms.
14:47Whether age verification
14:48yan,
14:49or yung pag-block
14:52at takedown
14:52ng mga masasamang
14:53materials
14:54na pwedeng
14:54matisod ng bata,
14:57there can be
14:58a cut-off
14:59somewhere,
15:00yung below 80 na yan,
15:01maybe some,
15:02a portion of that
15:03can be given
15:04access to social media,
15:05na yun ang kailangan
15:07nating bantayan.
15:08Pero mayroon siguro
15:08yung sobrang bata,
15:10baka walang business
15:11talaga na gumamit,
15:13pinakaralan po namin,
15:14what's the sweet spot there?
15:16What's the cut-off?
15:18Kasi
15:18kailangan
15:19maprotektahan natin
15:21yung mga bata.
15:22Pag sobrang bata yan,
15:23I don't see
15:23the wisdom
15:25of
15:26letting them use
15:27social media,
15:29kunyari,
15:29at masasadlak lang
15:30sila sa panganib.
15:31Yung mga ginagamit
15:32naman sa pagkakakitaan
15:34at yung
15:35nagkikreate
15:36ng contents
15:36or materials online,
15:38siguro suggested ko
15:40visit the
15:41media guidelines
15:41recently launched
15:42by the Council
15:43for the Welfare of Children
15:44and the DSWD
15:45na andun yung mga
15:46panuntunan natin,
15:47na huwag gamitin
15:48ang mga bata
15:49sa pag-create
15:50ng content
15:51at materials
15:51because we are
15:52unnecessarily exposing
15:53them to sexual predators,
15:55to scammers,
15:56to bad people online.
15:58Marami po talagang
15:59masasama po dyan.
16:00Yusek,
16:01dahil teknolohiya
16:02pinag-uusapan natin,
16:03may pakikipag-ugnayan
