Robredo pushes for raising of age of sexual consent to 16 years old

Vice President Leni Robredo on Wednesday pushed for legislation that would increase the the age for determining the commission of statutory rape to 16 years old from the current 12.

"Priority ko na iangat to 16 years old ang age of sexual consent. Anumang anggulong tingnan, bata yung 12 years na nasa batas ngayon," Robredo, a presidential aspirant, wrote on Facebook. Robredo said pushing for a law to raise the age of sexual consent was important because minors are vulnerable to exploitation.

"Ang bata, napupuwersa, nako-coerce ng mas matanda, at traumatic experience na kailangan pang I-prove na statutory rape ang pinagdaanan ng ganun kamurang edad. Dapat baguhin ito," Robredo said. Currently, the bill to raise age of sexual consent to 16 years old only needs President Rodrigo Duterte's signature afterThe UNICEF urged authorities to pass the measure as the Philippines' current age of sexual consent is the "lowest in Asia" and one of the lowest in the world.

It's already in progress and was approved by the Congress. Who would like to put a stop on this? Of course, it will be an enacted law. No need to make noise about it. Instead tell us something new. Halalan2022
