00:00Even if it's a different child, it's still a possession.

00:05The 54-year-old man, who was identified as Alias Blondie, was on his cell phone.

00:12The suspect was arrested by the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group in Manila

00:19on the basis of a warrant to search, seized, and examined computer data from the court, said the PNP ACG.

00:27One of the complainants was a 15-year-old minor and said that he was forced by Alias Blondie to exchange money.

00:37Despite the victim's knowledge, he took a video of the suspect and sold it through an advertisement

00:45posted on his own social media account.

00:48He only offered P300 to the child, and because the child was in need, he agreed to have that kind of activity.

01:00According to the victim, he refused several times that he would not do this kind of activity,

01:06but because he was persistent in pursuing the suspect, he agreed to do it.

01:15Based on the victim's knowledge, he recorded the videos and later on, he sold them online.

01:23For Php1,000 to Php3,000, Alias Blondie sold the videos of the children,

01:31sometimes to foreign parochial families.

01:34According to the investigation of the PNP ACG, the suspect has been committing crimes for a long time.

01:40There are also sites that he sells, and there are also many buyers who are usually outside the country,

01:48and there are also some here in the Philippines.

01:51From what we saw in the investigation, it has been a long time, because the child's age is 15 and 17.

01:58According to the victim, he was forced to do this when he was just 14, and the other one was 15 years old.

02:05So from what we can see in the investigation, the suspect has been doing this for a year or two.

02:12There's a possibility that the suspect was victimized by many others.

02:16That's why the PNP ACG's online investigation and cyber patrolling is ongoing.

02:21They're just near the barangay.

02:24He's also studying who he can victimize.

02:28I saw their addresses. They're just near the barangay.

02:32The suspect was put under the inquest for cases related to online sexual abuse and exploitation of children under the Cybercrime Law.

02:42He refused to give a statement to the media.

02:44The PNP ACG also reported that it's possible that the buyers of these images and videos,

02:51which have a 6 to 12-year imprisonment, are Patrick De Jesus for Pambansang TV in Bagong, Philippines.

03:02I'm not going to give you 5 years, Pambansang.

03:05You're so brilliant, Pambansang.
