Porno Para sa Pondo By Adora Rodriguez - PIA/IDPD

Nabisto ng magkasanib na pwersa ng Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG) at ng Inter-Agency Council Against Child Pornography (IACACP) ang modus operandi ng ilang kabataang Pinay. Napatunayan sa surveillance ng awtoridad na nagbebenta sila ng alindog kapalit ng nahihinging pera sa mga customer na pumapatol sa kanilang alok na pornograpiya gamit ang mga sariling katawan sa social media. Mayroon silang hashtags na #AlterPH, #AlterPinay, at #AlterBagets na kapag binisita ng customer ay makikitang may mga estudyante diumano na nagpapabayad ng mula P100 hanggang P800 para gawin ang anumang malaswang hihingin ng customer. Ang ikinakatuwiran ng mga may alok na porno para sa pondo ay gagamitin nila ang pera para sa kanilang distance learning studies. Ang babala ni ACG Director PBGen. Robert T. Rodriguez sa mga magulang, tutukan ang aktibidad ng mga anak sa paggamit ng electronic media. Magsumbong ng mga malaswang gawain na makikita sa Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) Hotline 4141560/633-1438 Dial 117, 1343 or text 2920.

COVID-19 vax prevents death, severe illness

May video na kumakalat mula sa isang doktor na nagsasabing hindi ligtas ang bakunang itinuturok kontra COVID-19. Ito ay pinabulaanan ng Department of Health at siniguro ng DOH na ang mga bakuna ay ligtas at epektibo para bumaba ang bilang ng mga malubhang nahahawa sa COVID-19.

Vaccines reduce the risk of dying and succumbing to severe illness due to breakthrough infection, caused by COVID-19 said Dr. Edsel M. Salvana, a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) member for COVID-19. Dr. Salvana, in his Facebook post, said the collective COVID-19 fatality rate for senior citizens reduced from 10% to 1% with complete vaccination. The mortality rate for the rest of the population below 60 years old goes down from 1% to 0.1% with a full jab. Vaccination coupled with strict health protocol practices is the longterm solution to living with COVID-19, Dr. Salvana said.
