Let’s protect our children not only in our homes and communities, but also online.

Stand against Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) and the production or sharing of Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials (CSAEM).

The Anti-Online Sexual Abuse or Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) and Anti-Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials (CSAEM) Act strengthens legal protection for children against online predators, traffickers, and individuals who produce, share, or possess any form of child sexual abuse or exploitation content.

It holds not only the offenders accountable but also requires digital platforms and service providers to take active steps to detect, report, and remove harmful content.

Every click matters. Every report saves a child. Let us be alert, aware, and united in safeguarding the innocence and dignity of every Filipino child.

Protecting children is everyone’s responsibility. Let us stand together against abuse, exploitation, and discrimination.

R.A. 7610, or the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination Act, ensures stronger safeguards for the welfare of every Filipino child. It penalizes anyone who inflicts physical, psychological, or sexual harm, as well as those who exploit children through labor, trafficking, or neglect. With the community working hand in hand with authorities, we can create a safer environment where our children can grow, learn, and thrive with dignity and hope. Let us be vigilant, responsive, and compassionate. Each child deserves protection, care, and love.

Safety Tips:
• Be observant. Notice signs of fear, bruises, withdrawal, or sudden behavior changes in children.
• Teach children to speak up. Please encourage them to tell a trusted adult whenever something makes them uncomfortable or unsafe.
• Monitor their environment. Know the people who interact closely with your children, both online and offline.
• Report immediately. If you see or suspect child abuse, contact your nearest police station, barangay office, or call 1383 (Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking Hotline).
• Support safe spaces. Create a home and community where children feel heard, understood, and protected.

Crime incidents under the 8 Focus Crimes continued to decline, posting an 8.40% decrease as the Philippine National Police intensified its operations and community safety initiatives under the Focused Agenda. According to the Directorate for Investigation and Detective Management (DIDM), notable reductions were observed particularly in the three most prevalent crimes: Theft, R**e, and Physical Injury. This positive trend reflects the strengthened police presence, proactive law enforcement strategies, and sustained partnership with local communities in maintaining peace and order.
