  2. 12 to 16? dapat nga 18, sa US 18. Minor pa e.

    ReplyDelete
  3. I agree 12 is just too young. 16 sounds about right

  4. I love how Anne included boys in raising awareness about this issue. Pag sinabi kasing rape, usually iniisip is babae ang biktima when in fact it can happen to any gender. Nice one, Anne!

  5. This ia how you use your influence.
    As a young sexual assault victim myself, I feel sorry for the children who had to undergo this trauma. We need laws to protect our children and the teeth to enforce it.

  6. Ayusin mo naman ang sentence mo Anne. Can you believe at 12 years old an adult...? Try mong ilapit ang description sa nearest noun. Nakakaloka.

    4. She called the lawmakers' attention and raised people's awareness. That's more than enough. I perfectly understood what she meant and that's what matters. Sana you commented on the issue and not on her sentence construction.

    9. @12:45
      “ Can you believe, at 12 years old an adult can have sex with a child & claim it’s consensual? “

      Translation : Maniniwala ka ba na sa edad na dose, pwede ka nang makipagtalik sa isang matanda kahit bata ka pa at sasabihing nya ( ng matanda ) na ito ay pinagkasunduan nyo at may pahintulot mo ( ng bata) ?

      ibig nyang sabihin pwedeng sabihin ng isang adult sa isang 12 y/o directly na pwede na silang mag sex

      Delete
    10. Not the nearest noun but the noun it describes or modifies. It should have been “Can you believe that an adult can have sex with a 12 year old child and claim it’s consensual?”

    15. Mas nakakaloka ka, 12:45am—mas nag-focus ka pa sa grammar than on the grim fate that children may face if the law is not changed asap. Naintindihan ko ang sinabi ni Anne loud and clear, and so will every person with half a brain. Check your priorities.

    16. Ikaw ang Nakakaloka!!! Mas pinansin pa ang noun kaysa essence of the topic . Go back to your classroom ma'am at doon maglecture ng grammat.

    20. Tama po siya kulang lang ng , can you believe at 12yo, an adult.. hindi nyo lang naintindihan ang sentence nakakatawa na ikaw ang nagpulis pero ikaw ang mas mali..

    2. Sigurado ka sa gusto mo palabasin? Kung may anak kang 12 or 15 years old na na-groom ng isang 40 years old makipa-sexual relationship, ok lang yun? Alam na ni 12 years old ginagawa nya kapantay na no 40 years old yan? Nakakakilabot mga katulad mong mag-isip.

    4. pero wag mong lahatin. imagine mo 12 years old na parang naive pa masyado... pilitin ng adult makipagsex. as in PILITIN. ang palusot jan... "nagconsent na sya kasi 12 years na sya" ang totoong istorya jan.. 'the 12 year old was coerced to have sex with an adult but was too scared to deny and to refuse' narape na natrauma pa. goodbye .

    5. 12:45 still does not make it right or give reason for grown men to have sex with a 12 year old. That’s disgusting!

    6. Not the point baks. Ang point is dapat pag na rape ang bata may batas tayo that will protect them. If consensual naman ang nangyari kay bagets and ka relasyon eh di walang rape.

    11. Kahit may bf, developmentally and physically napakabata pa ng 12yo for sex. Magkaibang sitwasyon yung 12yo na may bf dun sa 12yo na may katalik na adult. Adults in the community should protect the children and not take advantage of them.

      Delete
    12. Exactly why we need to increase the age of conscent to 16 years old. Mas vulnerable sila ngayon to peodophilia. It doesnt change the fact that they’re still kids that needed protection.

      Delete
    13. Madaling mang-uto ng bata, mabilog ang ulo at sabihing "consensual" ang ginawa nila. Madali ring i-frame ang isang bata, kesyo naglandi agad, maiksi ang shorts, blah blah blah! Wag magpaloko! Bata pa rin yan!

      Fun fact: sa SG, pag najontis ang isang menor de edad, kulong ang lalaki. Kahit na menor de edad din ang lalaki. Fair lang, infer.

  11. 12:45 - Teh, you didnt get Anne's point.. sabi nya can you believe at 12yrs old, an adult - she meant an adult guy can have sex to a 12yrs old..

  12. Eto ang problema pag ang 95% ng mga showbiz personality natin ay mga hibdi nakatapos ng pag aaral. Makjapag craft na po ng batas last year pa at pumasa na both sa Congress at sa Senate and pipirmahan na lang ng presidente. Libte lang ang Google, Anne Curtis at Catriona Gray. Kaya bumababa lalo ang tingin sa mga TV personality na gaya nyo ay dahil hindi muna kayo magbasa kung ano ang nangyayari sa paligid bago kumuda. Wag lang pa advocate maging relevant lang. BE EDUCATED. BE INTELLIGENT. GO BACK TO SCHOOL ANG GET YOUR COLLEGE DIPLOMA SO THAT THE BOTH OF YOU COULD SEE SOME SILVER LINING, GHORLZ. PAREHO kayo ng bansang pinanggalingan, mukhang di niyo tinake advantage ang kanilang magandang educational syatem. BASA MUNA, GHORLZ.

  18. Raising the age of consent from 12 to 16 or 25 or 35 will not prevent young people from having sex :) Only good family background will teach you that :) At saka having this law will not prevent sexual assault... sa tingin nyo ba sumusunod sa batas ang mga maniac? :) May batas ngang bawal mag nakaw pero lahat ng nakaupo ninanakawan ang kaban ng bayan :)

    ReplyDelete

    1. Sir, this law will not address kids having sex, but will prosecute r*pists and p*dos. So dahil ba hindi sumusunod sa batas ang masasamang tao ibig sabihin wag na lang gumawa ng batas? Anong klaseng pag iisip yan?

      Delete
    2. Ang punto dito ay mapapanagot ang mga maniac. Ngayon kasi ok lang na makipag sex ka sa minor pero pag tinaasan ang age of consent mapapanagot sila.Gets?!

      Delete
    3. so hayaan na lang natin lahat ganun? having laws against any crime wont prevent crime but that doesnt mean we should nit have laws against it. ang purpose ng batas is not just to prevent but to provide justice.

      Delete
    4. It will, if the law had teeth. Kung tipong public execution ang statutory rape, tingin nyo lalaganap pa yan?

      Better na may laws na nagsasabing bawal, para obviously criminal ang nga gumagawa.

      Delete
    5. THIS. Maniacs & exploitative people will not care about the law, plus kids these days are too promiscuous, it’s even encouraged. A good family upbringing & protection should go hand in hand with raising the age of consent.

      Delete
    6. Masyadong ideal situation/solution yang good family upbringing kyemeroot. Karamihan eh walang good family, even worse, hindi lahat may family. Maraming OFW at seafarers sa atin kaya maraming pamilya ang magkakahiwalay. Sa mga cases sa pinas, kasama pa sa family yung umaabuso. So ano gagawin sa kanila? Look to the sky and smile na lang, ganern?

      Eh kung hand in hand ang family upbringing at law enforcement? Di ba higher chances of winning?

      Delete
    7. 2:29 AM Passing the law will at least make it possible to file cases against abusive adults. Hindi man useful for you, it will be useful for people who are aware of their rights.

      Ano ba mawawala sa yo if they pass it as law? Don't be a block to good suggestions. If you think other things should be done then be a good citizen and do something about it. One idea does not have to cancel the other.

    4. 8:08 huh? Pag pumatay ka, may consequence. Pero dito, pag nag take advantage ang adult sayo or even younger kahit 12 ka pa lang, legal yun which is ayaw nating mangyari at kailangang taasan ang age of consent. Gets?

      Delete
    5. 1:54 name a state where its legal to have child brides??? sa pinas kamo legal yan under sharia law. and 2:37 most states the age of consent is 16-17; not 18.

    8. 8.08 Well the laws have no teeth because the victim does not enforce them. Actually, it's societies fault because all they do is all talk/trolling on social media and when somebody do what is right, they troll them. Pinoy way of thinking is mind boggling... They suck!

      Actually isa sya women's rights advocate at nung pinasa ang batas na to nung 1997, it was considered groundbreaking dahil ginawa nitong krimen ang rape.

      Ang problema ay yung mga mambabatas nung mga sumunod na taon na hindi inupdate yung batas knowing na outdated na yung 12 y/o as age of consent.

  28. Anong pinagsasabi ng mga ito?
    Eh kahit nga may "consent" ang isang minor, meaning below 18, ay considered rape pa rin ang pkikipagengage ng sex sa kanya..

    Dahil ang isang tao na minor, o below 18, is legally incapable of giving his or her consent.

    1. Depende po sa bansa. Sa Pinas, 12 is the age of consent so it's only r*pe if the victim is below 12.
