WE write in response to the article with the abovementioned title written by Fr. Shay Cullen, published in The Manila Times on May 29, 2020. We specifically note the allegations made in the article as follows, “These companies (ISPs) are violating Philippine law by not blocking child pornography and allowing live streaming of child sexual abuse.”

We wish to clarify that since the passage of Republic Act (RA) 9775 took effect in 2009, we have been actively supporting government efforts to combat online child pornography. As a matter of fact, Globe was able to block a total of 2,521 sites that have been identified by law enforcement agencies or endorsed by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) for blocking.
