JUSTICE Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said the government is waging an all-out war against online abusers victimizing children.

Remulla commended the National Coordination Center Against Online Sexual Abuse or Exploitation of Children and Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials and other public and private partners for spearheading the successful commemoration of the Safer Internet Day this year.

“Your dedication and unwavering commitment to this noble cause truly deserve deepest appreciation,” Remulla said.

The official also renewed the department’s commitment to go after cyber predators and protect Filipinos in the digital sphere.

“We are watching your every move,” he added.

Proclamation 417, signed by former President Rodrigo Duterte in 2018, declared the second Tuesday of February of every year as Safer Internet Day for Children Philippines to serve as a living reminder that each and everyone must take part and protect children from all forms of abuse and exploitation and create a safer cyberspace.

The NCC-OSAEC-CSAEM is a sub-structure of the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking, which is chaired by Remulla and with DOJ Undersecretary Nicholas Felix Ty as Undersecretary-in-Charge.
