00:00 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is also urging the government to protect the youth from abuse that is reaching cyberspace.
00:12 According to DILG Secretary Benhur Abalos, these actions will start from the barangay level.
00:20 The center of the news from Allan Francisco, live.
00:27 Clay, a month after the first arrest of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
00:33 along with some government officials,
00:35 it is now common to abuse sexually to the youth.
00:40 The sexual abuse or exploitation of children and child sexual abuse or exploitation materials were continued in the sexual meeting.
00:54 In the briefing in Malacanang earlier, government officials urged President Marcos to create a centralized system to stop the abuse of children.
01:05 As of now, there are many records of abuse to the youth, so the government's target is to be a global leader in resolving sexual abuse.
01:15 DILG Secretary Abalos explained that the barangay should know what to do in dealing with child abuse.
01:22 The secretaries of the barangay officials also warned not to allow the complaint they will receive to end here.
01:29 One more thing, and this is what I am warning all barangay,
01:35 you cannot settle here.
01:38 You cannot settle. I'm warning you, to all the viewers now.
01:43 Children are victims, this is a crime.
01:46 You cannot say that this is a camera that is pointed like that.
01:49 Because there is such thinking, they say that this is just a camera. No.
01:53 This is a camera, this is a crime against children.
01:56 So whoever will settle here, I will make sure you will also be jailed.
02:02 I will make sure of that. We will make sure of that.
02:05 That is the process. That is the order of our beloved President.
02:08 Clay, it is time for the barangay to receive the complaint.
02:13 They should immediately send it to law enforcement agencies like the police.
02:17 The barangay officials who will not settle here will also be held accountable.
02:20 They plan to hold a seminar for the barangay officials.
02:23 Abalos believes that the law should be passed
02:27 that will punish the consumers of the children's waste materials.
02:31 Most of the perpetrators of this crime are women.
02:34 Meanwhile, Clay, the attorney Margarita Magsaysay of the Department of Justice said
02:39 that President Marcos' request is that the normal life of the children victims should be returned immediately
02:46 and that they should not stay in aftercare services or facilities.
02:51 Assistant Secretary Mico Clavano, the spokesperson of DOJ, also gave a clear order to President Marcos
02:59 to protect the children and the perpetrators of this crime.
03:04 Meanwhile, Clay, in an ambush interview with Secretary Abalos,
03:08 he assured that the police will also be held accountable for the arrest
03:12 of three Chinese women in a Malaysian prison.
03:17 Clay, in the last few minutes, it's raining here in Malacanang, here in Manila.
03:25 Clay?
03:26 Alan, what is the timeline for the so-called centralized system
03:32 in responding to the abuse of the children?
03:40 Clay, because it's a serious matter, a sensitive matter,
03:46 the involvement of Filipino youth, these are minorities,
03:51 in sexual exploitation, the government's order is to resolve it immediately.
03:57 That's why the most important thing is that the barangay should know what to do.
04:03 One of the things that Clay mentioned in the seminar,
04:06 as far as I understand, there is a VAWSI for every barangay that meets the needs of women,
04:14 especially minorities.
04:17 So the government's order, Clay, is to resolve it immediately
04:20 because this is the order of the DILG, the DOJ, of President Marcos.
04:26 Thank you very much, Alan Francisco.
