‘Iisang Nasyon, Iisang Aksyon: Tapusin ang OSAEC Ngayon’ Summit 2024

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. graces the 'Iisang Nasyon, Iisang Aksyon: Tapusin ang Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) Ngayon' Summit 2024 at the New World Makati Hotel in Makati City on September 16, 2024.

Organized by the International Justice Mission (IJM) in partnership with the Department of Justice - Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (DOJ-IACAT) and Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), the Summit aims to break cultural barriers to reporting OSAEC cases and formally launches a nationwide campaign to boost local reporting and community engagement.

In line with these efforts, the campaign aligns with the Chief Executive's directive issued earlier this year, calling for stronger law enforcement initiatives to rescue victims, prosecute offenders and promote a comprehensive whole-of-nation strategy against OSAEC.

Moreover, the Summit highlights the crucial role of LGUs in tackling OSAEC despite progress in passing measures and directives such as Executive Order No. 67 which established the Presidential Office for Child Protection.

The 2023 Scale of Harm study by IJM and the University of Nottingham Rights Lab revealed that around half a million Filipino children or one (1) in 100 were victims of online sexual exploitation in 2022, underscoring the need for grassroots efforts to promote crime reporting.
