00:05This is the turnaround Illegan City LGU authorities and law enforcement have managed in reversing the number of cases of online sexual abuse and child exploitation in the city since 2022.
00:16BA8 Illegan City correspondent Lou Ellen Antonio has the more details.
00:22Illegan City has been removed from the list of areas with the highest cases of online sexual abuse and exploitation of children or Osaic in the Philippines.
00:32In 2022, the city ranked third nationwide and first in Mindanao for Osaic cases.
00:37Today, local officials credit the decline to intensified anti-Osaic initiatives, stricter law enforcement, and proactive prevention measures.
00:47To strengthen preventive measures, the ICJZ has passed a resolution urging the Department of Education to incorporate responsible internet and social media use into the basic education curriculum.
00:59The Justice Zone, in collaboration with key government agencies, conducted an orientation on responsible internet use and online safety for beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilan Pilipino program in Barangay Tambakan.
01:13Participants were educated on Cyber Threats, Cyber Law, and Cyber Prevention Act of 2012.
01:19The session also covered strategies to prevent online scams, recognize cyber crimes, and combat Osaic.
01:27I have been told to be careful when using the internet.
01:33If you do not use the internet properly, you will be a victim of Osaic.
