: Usec. Angelo Tapales, Executive Director at Council for the Welfare of Children; Stephanie V. Orlino, AVP and Head of Stakeholder Management at PLDT and SmartPLDT and Smart call for a deeper collaborative approach in fighting online sexual abuse and exploitation of children at the 7th National Women’s Summit organized by Miriam College. The PLDT Group earlier pledged continuous support to government efforts in protecting children online following the call of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

A vital cog to the fight against the spread of child sexual abuse and exploitation materials is the PLDT Group’s pioneering child protection platform that blocks access to these illicit materials at the content level. PLDT and Smart’s membership to the UK-based Internet Watch Foundation and the Canadian Centre for Child Protection enabled them to block more than a billion attempts to open CSAEM since 2021.

PLDT and Smart participated in the crafting of Republic Act 11930 or the Anti-OSAEC and Anti-CSAEM law, particularly pushing for the Good Samaritan clause that would allow internet service providers to take down offensive materials without being held civilly, criminally or administratively liable. In Cebu, Terre des Hommes Netherlands and Bidlisiw Foundation chose PLDT and Smart as exclusive telco partners for the rollout of the Safety for Children and their Rights Online project which aims to fight and prevent sexual exploitation of children.
