Today, Ramon Credo, Sally Ordinario, and Elizabeth Batain were executed in China after being convicted of drug trafficking. As fellow Filipinos, we offer our deepest sympathies to the families that they have left behind. Consistent with the laws and values of our country, we pleaded with the Chinese government to commute their death sentences to life imprisonment. Unfortunately, the Chinesegovernment did not agree, and we must respect their legal processes. I ask the public not to allow this situation to affect our historic friendship with the Chinese people. The Department of Social Welfare and Development has been providing grief counseling to the families of Mr. Credo, Ms. Ordinario and Ms. Batain. They will also be provided assistance for their education and livelihood. The three of them were convicted for drug trafficking, but perhaps, they can also be considered victims—victims of unscrupulous recruiters and drug traffickers, and victims of a society that could not provide for th

“The Commission on Human Rights strongly condemns the Willing Willie episode aired on March 12, 2011 wherein a 6-year old boy named Jan-Jan Suan performed a‘macho-dancing routine.’ This is an exploitation of the child’s innocence and demeans his inherent dignity for entertainment’s sake. “The multiple pressures exerted on Jan-Jan by the TV program’s host, audience, and his parents to perform a humiliating act in exchange for ten thousand pesos constitute child abuse as defined in Section 10 of R.A. No. 7610 or ‘Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination Act. It provides that: “Other Acts of Neglect, Abuse, Cruelty or Exploitation and Other Conditions Prejudicial to the Child’s Development. - “(a) Any person who shall commit any other acts of child abuse, cruelty or exploitation or to be responsible for other conditions prejudicial to the child’s development including those covered by Article 59 of Presidential Decree No. 603, as amended, but not cove

MANILA, Philippines - Small amounts of radiation from Japan's damaged nuclear plant have been detected in the Philippines, the government said Tuesday, while emphasizing the traces posed no danger to humans. "We have detected the isotopes, but we would like to ask the public not to panic. These are very tiny amounts in the air," Tina Cerbolis, a spokeswoman for the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute, told the Agence France-Presse. "Environmental radiation monitoring all over the world, including the Philippines, has detected very tiny amounts of radioactive isotopes which appeared to be coming from the Fukushima nuclear power plant, and which pose no human health hazards," the PNRI said in its latest bulletin on the effects of the accident at the Fukushima-Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Japan. As of 9 a.m. Tuesday, the PNRI said radiation levels at the agency's immediate area was at 93-115 nanoSieverts per hour (nSv/h), which is "normal.

BEIJING, China - China on Tuesday defended the planned executions of three Filipinos on drug trafficking charges, as special masses were held in the Philippines for the trio. "In China, our judicial authorities handled the cases independently and we grant equal treatment to foreign drug traffickers," foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told reporters. "The rights and treatment of the individuals involved have been ensured and safeguarded in accordance to law. China has fulfilled its international obligations in the process." Ramon Credo, 42, Sally Villanueva, 32, and Elizabeth Batain, 38, are due to be put to death on Wednesday after Chinese authorities rejected Philippine appeals for clemency. The Philippine government had insisted that the three, who are among 227 Filipinos jailed in China for drug offences, were from poor families and had been duped by international crime syndicates into becoming drug couriers. It had heavily lobbied Chinese authorit

BRIEFER ON “WILING WILLIE” REGARDING COMPLAINTS OF CHILD ABUSE The Board received numerous complaints about the 12 March 2011 episode of “ Willing Willie” aired over Kapatid Network TV5 where a six-year old boy contestant was shown to be gyrating and impersonating the body movements of a macho dancer. In accordance with the Board’s duty to enforce the Constitutional mandate that the State shall defend the rights of children from all forms of neglect, abuse, cruelty, exploitation, and other conditions prejudicial to their development, the Board has referred the matter to the Hearing and Adjudication Committee for appropriate disposition. The Board further emphasizes that whenever children are featured in television programs, producers are mandated to observe legal standards stipulated in R.A. 7610 to avoid “psychological abuse xxx cruelty, sexual abuse and emotional maltreatment” and “any act by deeds and words which debases, degrades or demeans the intrinsic worth and dignit

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) condemns the emotional abuse and humiliation bestowed on a six-year-old child contestant, during the March 12, 2011 episode of the Willing Willie show aired on TV 5. The sequence shows the boy gyrating in a distasteful manner with the audience, including the host (Willie Revillame), manifesting no evidence of concern or alarm for the child. This incident is clearly a violation of Republic Act 7610 or the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act and a blatant manifestation of child abuse.  The term “child abuse” includes the following acts: “psychological and physical abuse, neglect, cruelty, sexual abuse and emotional maltreatment,” and “any act by deeds or words which debases, degrades or demeans the intrinsic worth and dignity of the child as a human being.” Putting pressure on children to do acts such as mimicking adult sexy dances, in exchange for a certain amount of money

We wish to stress that there was never any intention to humiliate or abuse Jan-Jan or any contestant on the show.”

Philippines - After a string of disqualifications for this year's Binibining Pilipinas pageant, another candidate is struck off the list of 40 official candidates vying for the country's most prestigious beauty title. In a statement, Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. (BPCI) said candidate Bianca Paz is out of the competition "due to circumstances affecting her which recently came to light." "Binibining Pilipinas Charities Inc. has today removed another candidate from the 2011 roster due to circumstances affecting her which recently came to light. As with the previous statement, we urge everyone to cease further speculation regarding the matter as respect to the privacy and integrity of all those concerned," BPCI said in a statement Thursday. The 2-time Binibining Pilipinas candidate was reportedly released from the official list because she posed for a sexy calendar in the past. The photo shoot had behind the scenes footage, where the side of

You've heard of ".com" and ".org." Joining them soon will be their bawdy cousin: ".xxx." On Friday, the board of directors of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which oversees the Internet's naming system, approved the creation of a red-light district online for pornographic websites. It follows a decade-long battle over such a name. The uproar over the idea has brought together unlikely bedfellows. Religious groups argue that giving adult websites their own corner of the Internet legitimizes the content. Pornographers worry it will ghettoize their sites. Although it's meant to be voluntary, they fear governments could try to mandate the domain's use, so that pornographic content is more easily blocked. Diane Duke, executive director of the adult entertainment industry's Free Speech Coalition, said in a statement that ICANN has "disregarded overwhelming outpouring of opposition from the adult enterta

The World Health Organization (WHO) on Sunday warned people who insist on "protecting" themselves against nuclear radiation from Japan that an overdose of iodized salt could result in poisoning. It also allayed fears of radiation-tainted food products reaching the Philippines, saying it remains limited to the area near the damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in Japan. In an advisory posted on its website, the WHO said it is dangerous for people to take in large amounts of iodized salt if only to avoid the effects of radiation. "It is dangerous to take large amounts of iodized salt in order to increase the amount of stable iodine in the body. Increasing one's daily intake of iodized salt will cause more harm than good," the WHO said. It stressed that sodium chloride is acutely toxic in large amounts, that even tablespoon quantities of salt repeatedly taken over a short period of time could cause poisoning. Research showed that the recommended
