A viral video showed a distressed toddler alone inside a parked car. The car’s engine was turned off, as the child was supposedly left by his or her parents to attend to personal matters.

“There is due punishment to this. If parents are found (really) at fault then we will have to get the child from them until such period that we will see that they are serious in taking care of the child,” DSWD Secretary Virginia Orogo said.

She pointed out that DSWD social workers have already talked to the child’s parents “to determine the degree of liability from leaving him alone.”

“I have asked our DSWD-NCR regional director and social workers to talk to the parents and see the degree of liability to the child,” she said.

“Why leave the child inside a car with its engine turned off? Even if the air conditioner is open, that is also dangerous to the child who can be suffocated,” she added.

Citing the Republic Act (RA) 7610, Orogo said neglecting or hurting a child can already be considered a child abuse. “When we bring the matter to the legal arena, I think our judgment towards the case is already up to the court,” she said.

RA 7610 or the “Act Providing for Stronger Deterrence and Special Protection against Child Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination,” stipulates that child abuse includes words, action, deed, or any condition prejudicial to the child’s development.

The violation of this law is punishable by imprisonment.

Versatile Talent (VT) has been in the entertainment industry for many years and when she was starting out, the network saw much potential in her. Unfortunately, VT broke the momentum of a growing career when she spent several years out of the limelight as a private citizen. During this time, VT spent the years to mature and decide if she wants to pursue a career in showbiz. The lure was strong and she made a comeback, which her home network supported.

Immediately, VT was matched with Talented Boy (TB) and their partnership achieved its goal, that is, to be a hot loveteam of the network. The two had chemistry and they were together in many projects. There was even a time when the two were assumed to be officially together, but no confirmation was declared. Time can be deceiving and TB lost a number one backer. Thus, without his backer, his career was left in the doldrums. Consequently, VT had to move on, too. Without TB as partner, VT had to establish herself.

VT tried to reinvent herself by exploring other areas. However, with no solid support from the management, VT could only go as far. The network was busy with other talents, who were more exciting and popular than VT. With the clock ticking, VT had to rethink as to how she can be noticed again. Her recognition meter has gone way down, as she’s hardly recognized in public places. She can walk around a mall and not be asked for a selfie. For other celebrities, such situation would be bliss, for VT, it was alarming. Hence, she needed to be talked about and therefore if one cannot be in the news, one must make the news.

VT started to post photos of a Mystery Person (MP) who has been sending her flowers and gifts. Without revealing MP’s face, VT’s followers assumed Important Actor (IA) was the one behind the attention VT was receiving. While the fans of IA started to bash VT, the higher ups had another view. With IA being linked with VT, he can move toward the direction his handlers want for him. Instead of reprimanding VT, she got their thumbs up. Allegedly, even IA agreed to the ploy. These days, IA is focused on his career and other interesting persons, who do not include VT. However, as they are friends, IA would extend whatever he could to help a colleague. What started out as a cheap gimmick is turning out to be advantageous to VT and IA. VT should be given credit for her little stunt that could have huge implications for her career and that of IA’s as well.
