Philippines congressman bashes AdultFriendFinder and pushes anti-sexcam legislation
 

I'm not sure if this has been posted before. There's been some threads re the pending Revilla senate bill 1892 re banning all types of porn and porn-related activities in the Philippines. This bill by Santiago is targeted toward webcams. Notice the use of AFF statistics....

Excerpts:

He said based on the www.adultfriendfinder.com site, "the Philippines now has the world?s 15th largest list of possible sexual partners on the Internet."

"We find this surprising considering that outside the office, very few Filipinos have ready access to personal computers with an Internet connection," he said.

"This only suggests that a number of Internet shops may be fronting for cyber sex operations and there are many gangs here running clandestine cyber sex dens," he added.

Among 35 countries in Asia, the Philippines has the second largest list of potential sex partners in www.adultfriendfinder.com, next only to India, which has 677,812.

Outside Asia, the countries with larger lists than the Philippines are the United States with 14.2 million; the United Kingdom, 1.9 million; Canada, 1.2 million; Brazil, 830,615; Germany, 762,055; Mexico, 671,761; Australia, 642,949; France, 556,301; Spain, 520,324; Italy, 471,188; Argentina, 357,212; and Peru, 317,726.

Other Asian countries listed in the website with more than 100,000 potential sex partners are Malaysia, 177,996; Singapore, 126,248; Japan, 112,053; and China, 106,163.

Santiago is pushing for the swift approval of new legislation that would impose tougher penalties on cyber sex operators.

"We are gravely worried that going forward, as the country?s Internet users increase, illicit cyber sex activities will also proliferate. Cyber sex operators corrupt and prostitute our women and children. They should be dealt with severely," he said.

Good thing I moved !

what a fucking idiot

In my opinion, the recent gambling scandal and election rigging charges definitely give Filipino politics a carnival air. You can't tell the clowns from the ringmasters :(

Notice the sensationalism: Here's another link http://news.inq7.net/nation/index.ph...story_id=46198

yes, thats all it could mean!

bahahahahahaha!!!!

Thanks, I needed that laugh today

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :thumbsup

Isn't everyone with a cock and pussy a "potential sexual partner"?

Fucking third world idiots.

Lots of hypocrisy as well. And to think people get killed (two dutch dudes and maybe more 'salvaged') over obvious hysteria like this.

Your political system seems like a lot of fun. Where can I get more info to follow the festivities?

It's not the system. The system is based on US federal model. On paper, it looks great. It's the IMPLEMENTATION and EXECUTION of the system where it gets spotty. For Philippines news see http://www.inq7.net/index_network.htm

Instea o worrying about porn they should go into their fucking jails and get the 8,9,10 yr olds out. If anyone saw the documentary on TV yesterday ya know what im talking about. 60- 70 peple in a cell, piss and shit all over the fucking place. They got these ki%s in Jails with Rapists,Murderers, And Pedo's They even showed one pedo saying he has his way with many of them. Thing is most the ki%s that are in jail are there for petty crime or just being homeless. So The Phillipines and Their Lawmakers Go Fuck Yourself til you do something about those jailed Ki%s. You got moe issues than people looking at porn.

Sex is bad.. Mmmmmmmmkay?

it's used by idiot politicians to divert the peoples' attention from the real issues

Turn on CNN In 5 Mins they are going to show you more of the phillipine ki%s in jail

i believe he is our senator :(

Exactly. It's all about fucked up priorities and hypocrisy. So much for "protection of children", eh? Chalk it up to hysteria and catering to the (very powerful and entrenched) Catholic Church lobby. The same lobby that discourages contraception. :Oh crap

my bad. lol another politician hitting adult. fuck them. and too bad this congressmas is from my province! shame.

I agree. It's a waste of time and energy. Why don't they channel their energy into reforming the economic system and truly improving the economy?

idiots' ......

i was a member of the addultfriendfinder but couldnt find one...how was that... :mad:

Isn't pretty much every girl on Asianbabecams.com from the Philippines?

Yes, I agree. We've got bunch of laws here but the will to implement is so weak due to political survival.

Yet another form of politicking. :pimp

I saw the program on the very young children in prison in the Philippines a few days ago here in the UK too. Very disturbing.

these numbers can really be so disturbing..philippines is jst a little country yet all the worst scenarios can be seen there..

Time for you to step up and make a change around there :)

what's wrong with people there? they vote and then few months after they take the streets and protests. make up your mind, sickos!

Yeah, I saw that segment this morning from CNN International Edition. Sad shit. Even worse, the tax rates here are really high but little of it makes it to infrastructure and social services. :(

I can understand why you're jade re politics of economic 'reform'. PGMA's recent e-vat policies aren't exactly encouraging.

Looks like it may be time to get the hell out of Dodge.
