MANILA — Senator Loren Legarda [pictured] urged Tuesday cyber crime units of the government to shut down the website thepinoytube.com for providing an unrestricted access to pornographic materials to Filipino women and children.

Legarda said that a complaint from a concerned citizen alerted her office about the website serving as a repository of lewd materials similar to another porn site, whom she described as “by far, the filthiest Internet site we’ve come across.”

“Like the latter, access to thepinoytube.com, especially by minors, should be stopped by the government,” Legarda said.

She thus asked the cyber crime divisions of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the police, as well as the Inter-Agency Against Trafficking in Persons Act (IACT) to find ways to close down the said porn site.

IACT is the agency tasked to enforce the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act and other laws against the prostitution, white slavery, and sexual exploitation of women and children. (CPB/Sunnex)
