Bill vs "hentai" close to becoming a LAW in the RP

MANILA, Philippines - Hentai, a sexually explicit or pornographic form of comics or animation, may soon be outlawed in the Philippines once a bill in the House of Representatives is passed into law.

The bill, which generally bans child pornography including in cartoon form, has been approved at the level of the Joint House Committees on Justice and Welfare of Children chaired by Reps. Matias Defensor (Quezon City) and Monica Teodoro (Tarlac).

“It can be in forms of visual depiction, audio representation and written text or materials that advocate explicit sexual activity with a child," Teodoro said in an article on the House of Representatives Web site.

Teodoro said the bill penalizes the offenders who sell, offer, advertise, and promote child pornography. It also covers those found to possess, download, purchase, reproduce, or make available child pornography materials with the intent of selling or distributing them.

She said child pornography material refers to the means and methods in which a child carries out pornography.

According to her, images of real and indistinguishable children in films, digital images or computer images, whether made or produced electronically or mechanically; drawings, cartoons, sculptures or paintings depicting children in an explicit sexual activity are just some of the visual depictions considered as child pornography materials.

Thus, she said there is a need for a legislative measure to address this disturbing social phenomena considering that the provisions of RA7160 or the Special Protection of Children Against Child Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act are mainly related to child prostitution and do not provide adequate protection to victims of other forms of sexual exploitation particularly child pornography.

Under the bill, child pornography refers to any representation of a child below 18 years of age, engaged in real or simulated explicit sexual activities or any representation of the sexual parts of a child primarily for sexual purposes.

The bill provides that the mere possession of drawings, cartoons, digital images, computer-generated images, even if it is indistinguishable from that of real children engaging in an explicit sexual activity, may be penalized with 6 to 12 years imprisonment and a fine of up to P500,000. - GMANews.TV
The bill has passed. And the collective IQ of those in the legislative branch just dropped exponentially.

Quote:Ban on Japanese cartoon OKd

By Roy Pelovello

THE House joint committees on justice and welfare of children have approved a bill banning the pornographic cartoon, popularly known as hentai, and imposing penalties on those engaged in the production and sale of such materials.

The joint committees wanted to consider mere possession of hentai—the Japanese cartoon that depicts children in explicit sexual activity—as illegal act, which is punishable with prison term or fine or both.

Under the proposed Anti-Child Pornography Act of 2009, child pornography refers to any representation of a child below 18 years of age, engaged in real or simulated explicit sexual activities or any representation of the sexual parts of a child primarily for sexual purposes.

The bill—a consolidation of several related proposed measures—provides that the mere possession of hentai may be penalized with six to 12 years imprisonment and a fine of not more than P500,000.

The measure also imposes 12 to 20 years imprisonment and a fine of not more than P2 million to those found guilty of hiring, employing, using, persuading, inducing, or coercing a child to perform in the production of child pornographic materials.

The House committee on justice is chaired by Quezon City Rep. Matias Defensor, while the House committee on the welfare of children is chaired by Tarlac Rep. Monica Prieto-Teodoro.

Teodoro said the bill penalizes the offenders who sell, offer, advertise and promote child pornography. She said this includes people who have been found to possess, download, purchase, reproduce, or make available child pornography materials with the intent of selling or distributing them.

The proposal will complement the Special Protection of Children Against Child Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act, which is against child prostitution but does not provide adequate protection to victims of other forms of sexual exploitation, particularly child pornography.

Cotabato Rep. Darlene Antonino-Custodio, another co-author of the bill, said the prohibited acts under the bill includes posting child pornographic pictures or videos on the Internet.

“Once the picture of child victim is flashed either on the Internet or video clip, the picture is open for the entire world to see. The child loses his or her privacy and innocence which can never be restored,” Antonino-Custodio said.

Other authors of the bill are Reps. Rene Velarde (party-list, Buhay), Ignacio Arroyo (Fifth District, Negros Occidental), Rufus Rodriguez (Second District, Cagayan de Oro), Narciso Santiago III (party-list, Alliance for Rural Concerns), Matias Defensor Jr. (Second District, Quezon City), Lorenzo Tañada III (Fourth District, Quezon), Edgardo Chatto (First District, Bohol) and Luzviminda Ilagan (party-list, Gabriela).
