National Day of Awareness and Unity against Child Pornography • September 28
In 2025, the fight against child pornography in the Philippines revealed both pain and progress.
The DOJ secured convictions against parents who exploited their own children online. The NBI arrested sellers of child sexual abuse materials in Bulacan, Marikina, and other cities. In each case, children were rescued from homes where cameras replaced safety and greed replaced love.
The Commission on Human Rights warned that online abuse remains a serious human rights crisis. International groups raised alarms that the Philippines is still a hotspot for livestreamed exploitation, where poverty is twisted into profit and children are treated as content.
Yet every conviction, every rescue, every report is light breaking into the dark. Laws only matter when they are enforced, and society is only safe when it protects its most vulnerable.
That is why September 28—National Day of Awareness and Unity against Child Pornography—is not just a date. It is a call for Filipinos to see, to speak, and to stand together so that no child is ever reduced to an image of abuse again.
