DAVAO CITY — An advocacy group has expressed alarm over the increasing number of Filipino children getting exposed to various threats on the internet, particularly sexual abuse or exploitation.
He noted that this number significantly increased by 256% during the COVID-19 pandemic as most children spent more time on the internet due to lockdowns and schools shifted to online classes. He said the “Web Safe & Wise Campaign” was launched to educate stakeholders in the private sector, particularly the media, to contribute to efforts in eliminating online threats against children.
Nuñez said there is a need to protect the children from age-inappropriate content across all online platforms. He explained that this includes engaging the minors for a consultation and educating them, including the private sector and media practitioners, through webinar series, training, community education and outreach.
