Executives of Facebook on Tuesday claimed that the social media platform was able to remove more than five million sexual images of children during the last quarter of 2020. READ:

Amber Hawke, Facebook’s Head of Safety in Asia-Pacific , told the Senate women and children’s panel tackling child pornography and sexual exploitation that they were able to delete 5.4 million pieces of child-related online exploitation, with 98.8 percent of these removed before it was reported.

However, when asked by Sen. Francis Pangilinan how much of the figures came from the Philippines, Hawke could not elaborate, saying they do not have actual figures to validate per country. But Hawke explained it is the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children’s that does release figures of these information per country. According to her, the Department of Justice and other Philippine law enforcement agencies, have actual access to the NCMEC’s case management tool, which sits with the DOJ.

Hawke reiterated that data is currently accessible to Philippine law enforcement authorities through the NCMEC case management tool which is currently being handled by the DOJ.
