MANILA — The Philippine government is not likely to honor the award for damages granted by a Hong Kong court to victims of the August 2010 hostage taking incident in Manila that killed eight tourists and wounded seven others.
Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said Sunday that the ruling of the Hong Kong high court granting a legal aid appeal from survivors and families of the victims of the hostage crisis is not binding in the Philippines, therefore the government is not under any obligation to keep it.
“No foreign government can grant its citizens leave to sue another government and bind the other government to such an action. International law grants sovereignty to each nation and a primary character of this sovereignty is the immunity of states from suits,” she said in a statement.
No legal consequence
“The grant of Hong Kong government to the relatives of the hostage victims has neither legal consequence nor significance in international law,” she added.
De Lima was apparently referring to the international law doctrine of comity of nations wherein one state, to the greatest extent possible, recognize the legislative, executive or judicial acts of another, as states seek to fully assert their sovereignty and traditionally refuse to recognize or enforce the judicial decisions of others.
Under this principle, she said a government may only be sued with its consent, whether by a foreign government or citizens of that foreign government.
Thus, the Hong Kong court’s award of damages is nothing more than an “expression of moral support of to the victims of the Luneta incident by their government,” she said.
De Lima, who headed the Incident Investigation and Review Committee (IIRC) that probed the incident, said last year after a visit with her Chinese counterpart in Beijing, China that she would welcome the request of the hostage survivors and their family to inquire about the status of the cases against those found liable for the death of their loved ones.
She expressed doubt that the plans of the victims to file a lawsuit against the Philippine government, allegedly based on the prodding of some political figures in Hong Kong, would prosper.
She said, however, that they may file a civil suit under Philippine laws for payment of damages.
“Under the Philippine law and justice system, anyone has the right to seek redress by way of damage… If they are asking to consider negotiating for the purpose of getting compensation, the response is: nothing can prevent them from making demands,” she said.
Not surprising
Integrated Bar of the Philippines president Roan Libarios, another member of the IIRC, said that such move of the victims to claim for damages should not come as a surprise.
“Some officials could be really held liable for negligence based on our report,” he said.
The controversy stemmed from the gruesome hostage drama initiated by dismissed police officer Rolando Mendoza when he hijacked a tourist bus in Intramuros district in Manila and opened fire at each of the passengers after foiled talks with police negotiators.
The despondent policeman was eventually killed by sniper bullets from his former colleagues.
The IIRC, which was formed to probe those responsible for the hostage-taking fiasco, originally identified 13 individuals as probably liable with the supposed mishandling of the hostage incident.
However, when a two-man Malacanang panel reviewed the IIRC report, only SPO2 Gregorio Mendoza, the brother of hostage-taker was charged in court.
Later on, President Benigno Aquino III dismissed from service Deputy Ombudsman Emilio Gonzales for failure to act immediately on Rolando’s administrative case.
A recent Supreme Court ruling eventually reinstated Gonzales, saying Malacanang erred in dismissing him on alleged mishandling of the graft case against the hostage-taker, which triggered the hostage crisis.
Reports quoting the Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) last October 12 stated that a high court master had granted a Legal Aid Appeal from survivors and relatives of the fatalities in the August 23, 2010 tragedy.
In particular, they were demanding the Philippine government to issue a formal apology and provide compensation for the victims and their families. Among those from whom they seek damages are those they believe were responsible for the bungled hostage rescue operation, including Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim and the police force.
Democratic Party legislator James To was quoted in the report as saying that the application for legal aid by the survivors and relatives of victims was rejected by the Hong Kong’s Legal Aid Department at first because the Philippines may invoke state immunity as a defense.
While President Aquino already expressed regret over the incident and admitted that the crisis should have been handled better, the government refused to apologize to the victims’ families. (JCV/Sunnex)

MANILA — Nineteen candidates vying for seats in the House of Representatives, including reelectionist Sarangani Representative Manny Pacquiao, are running unopposed, Commission on Elections (Comelec) data show.
Only one vote is needed for each candidate running unopposed to win the next year’s polls, Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez said.
“We are a first-past-the-post system; meaning, you have to get the most number of votes cast in an election. Thus, theoretically, if no votes are cast, even an unopposed candidate will have no basis for winning,” Jimenez added.
The 18 other unopposed candidates are:
1. Josephine Veronique Resurreccion Lacson-Noel (Malabon City, lone district)
2. Ma. Theresa Brondial Bonoan-David (Manila, fourth district)
3. Marcelino Reyes Teodoro (Marikina City, first district)
4. Rodolfo Castro Farinas (Ilocos Norte, first district)
5. Maria Rachel Jimenez Arenas (Pangasinan, third district)
6. Dakila Enriquez Cua (Quirino, lone district)
7. Enrique Murphy Cojuangco (Tarlac, first district)
8. Joseph Gilbert Francisco Violago (Nueva Ecija, second district)
9. Joel Roy Duavit (Rizal’s first district)
10. Isidro Santos Rodriguez Jr. (Rizal’s second district)
11. Reynaldo Villar Umali (Oriental Mindoro’s second district)
12. Ferdinand Martin Gomez Romualdez (Leyte’s first district)
13. Maria Carmen Solamillo Zamora (Compostella Valley’s first district)
14. Rommel Camos Amatong (Compostella Valley’s second district)
15. Thelma Zosa Almario (Davao Oriental’s second district)
16. Jose Christopher “Kit” Belmonte (Quezon City, new district)
17. Gerald Anthony Gullas Jr. (Cebu, 1st district)
18. Erlpe John Amante (Agusan del Norte, second district)
Belmonte is a nephew of House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr., while Gullas is a grandson of Cebu’s first district Representative Eduardo Gullas.
Amante is the incumbent governor of Agusan del Norte and brother of the province’s incumbent representative Angelica Amante-Matba.
According to the Comelec, there are 18,053 elective positions up for grabs in the May polls. Of the number, 233 are for district representatives. (Kathrina Alvarez/Sunnex)

MANILA — Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo asked her colleagues in Congress on Monday to ensure the “expeditious passage” of a measure that could allow her to seek medical parole in case the Sandiganbayan convicts her for plunder.
The former President, who is under hospital arrest over plunder charges, filed House Bill 6608 or the Medical Parole Act of 2012, which will authorize the Board of Pardons and Parole under the Department of Justice to grant medical parole to ill prisoners.
Together with her son, Camarines Sur Representative Diosdado “Dato” Arroyo, she argued that sick prisoners should be granted parole “as a gesture of mercy and compassion.” The Arroyos added that their proposal would allow the government to save on taxpayer’s money because sick prisoners cost taxpayers “nearly twice” compared to healthy inmates.
“For humanitarian considerations, the grant of medical parole should be allowed since all persons must be treated with dignity, whether in or out of prison, and irrespective of the crimes committed,” the Arroyos said in their proposal.
The bill was filed on September 26, a week before she was ordered arrested for plunder on October 4. It was referred to the House committee on justice led by Iloilo Representative Niel Tupas Jr.
Arroyo and nine others were charged with plunder over their alleged misuse of P366-million in Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) intelligence funds.
Last week, the Sandiganbayan granted her petition for hospital arrest.
One of the conditions of the anti-graft court indicates that the former President can stay at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) in Quezon City as long as she will shoulder all expenses.
Last year, Arroyo underwent three cervical spine surgeries. Recently, she was placed at the intensive care unit of VMMC after she was diagnosed with coronary ischemia.
The former President had been under hospital detention for eight months on charges of election fraud until a Pasay City court allowed her to post bail on July 25.
Under the proposed Medical Parole Act of 2012, the Board of Pardons and Parole may release a prisoner on medical parole if he or she suffers from an incapacitating physical condition, disease or syndrome.
The Board, however, may revoke the medical parole if the inmate is likely to pose a possible danger to the public.
“A prisoner will be eligible for medical parole if s/he does not constitute a threat to public safety and is not likely to commit an offense while on medical parole,” the bill states.
Furthermore, prisoners who have served 10 consecutive years or more in prison shall not be paroled until the Board receives a report on their medical condition and ability to adjust to life outside the prison from a licensed psychiatrist or psychologist. (Kathrina Alvarez/Sunnex)

MANILA — The government launched Monday the official Facebook page of Malacanang Palace ahead of its sesquicentennial year next year.
Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said the Facebook page dubbed “Malacañan Palace,” features the transformation of the Malacanang from a simple summer house to an official residence and workplace of the country’s President.
“The official Facebook page of Malacañan Palace by the Presidential Museum and Library was launched today in advance of the sesquicentennial of Malacañan Palace next year,” he said in a statement.
“The Facebook page features a rich heritage from its beginnings as a riverside rest house owned by the Rocha family to its establishment as the seat of power where Spanish and American Governors-General held office, and as the official residence of the presidents of the Philippines,” he added.
Published in conjunction with the Presidential Museum and Library website (www.malacanang.gov.ph) and the Presidential Museum and Library Tumblr account (tumblr.malacanang.gov.ph), these online resources are part of the mandate of the Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office (PCDSPO) as official custodian of the institutional memory of the Office of the President, Lacierda said.
He noted that the initiative of the project is aimed at harnessing social media to share the history, residents, traditions, and legacy of Malacañan Palace to a diverse online audience.
Lacierda said netizens can contribute their own pictures and memories of the Palace in the Facebook page.
“This way, Malacañan Palace is opened to the public through inclusive and people-centric social media,” he said.
As of 12:15 Monday, the Malacañan Palace page already has 1,177 likes which Lacierda said “is indicative of strong interest in the project.” (Jill Beltran/Sunnex)

MANILA — An alleged child molester from the United States is now facing deportation following his arrest by authorities last week.
The suspected pedophile identified as Scott David Shrum, 46, will be immediately sent back to the US after the Bureau of Immigration (BI) issued the order for his summary deportation.
Shrum was arrested by authorities on October 17 at a remote farm in Barangay Mohon, Talisay City, Cebu. He is now under government custody 10 months after he fled to the Philippines to avoid prosecution in the US.
The suspect is wanted by a superior court in Sacramento, California for allegedly engaging in “three or more acts of sexual conduct with a child.”
Shrum is also reportedly the subject of an arrest warrant issued by a district court in eastern California for continuously moving from one US state to another to elude arrest.
The elusive, suspected pedophile arrived in Manila on December 29, 2011, and has never applied for extension of his stay as a tourist.
The US government revoked his passport last April 20, making Shrum both an overstaying and undocumented alien. (Emmanuel Louis Bacani/Sunnex)

A PARTY-LIST lawmaker representing women in Congress warned Monday against the recommendation of the United Nations (UN) to legalize prostitution in the Philippines amid an increase in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cases in the country.
In its report Sex Work and the Law in Asia and the Pacific, the UN said that legal recognition of sex work as an occupation would enable sex workers to claim benefits, to form unions and to access work-related banking, insurance, transport and pension schemes.
But Gabriela Women’s Party Representative Luzviminda Ilagan said legalization of prostitution equates to the legalization of slavery and exploitation.
“The legalization of prostitution will not in any way ensure the protection of women, children and men forced to engage in the flesh trade. Legalization will not guarantee protection against sexually transmitted infection and HIV,” she said.
A Department of Health (DOH) report say around 272 Filipinos tested positive for HIV in August. This brought the number of cases to 10,514.
Ilagan said protection from HIV infection can be done by increasing women’s awareness and education as well as ensuring women’s access to health services.
Ilagan instead proposes for Congress to enact legislation to decriminalize rather than legalize prostitution by introducing amendments to the Revised Penal Code.
The Gabriela lawmaker is one of the authors of House Bill 4934, which seeks to repeal Articles 202 and 341 of the Penal Code. The bill is pending with the House committee on revision of laws.
“Our present laws seek to penalize only the women engaged in prostitution. Prostituted women are treated as criminals rather than victims of poverty and gender inequality. Our laws do not penalize pimps, bar owners and operators or those who pay to use and abuse these women,” she said.
Under Article 202, prostitutes are defined as “women who, for money or profit, habitually indulge in sexual intercourse or lascivious conduct.”
“Any person found guilty of any of the offenses covered by this articles shall be punished by arresto menor or a fine not exceeding 200 pesos, and in case of recidivism, by arresto mayor in its medium period to prision correccional in its minimum period or a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 pesos, or both, in the discretion of the court,” it further states.

THE National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) filed Monday charges of robbery with homicide against members of a notorious robbery hold-up gang believed to be responsible for the killing of Justice Secretary Leila de Lima’s security aide last May.
Charged before the Department of Justice (DOJ) were Ritchie John Cahinta, Almario Rentillosa, Jun Bellera, Ferdinand Paragas and Chris de la Cruz.
They were tagged in the killing of Alister Quintos, a member of the DOJ’s Intelligence Service Operations group (Isog), who also served as closed-in security of de Lima.
Check our new look and tell us what you think.
Quintos, 32, was found dead on a road in San Ildefonso, Bulacan.
Of the five suspects, only Cahinta and Rentillosa are in the custody of the police in connection with another robbery incident, while three others remain at-large.
Cahinta and Rentillosa belonged to a same group earlier arrested by the Parañaque police following a police operation before dawn of October 6, 2012 along Dr. A. Santos Avenue (formerly Sucat Avenue) in Parañaque.
NBI Special Task Force chief Roland Argabioso said the case against the suspected robbers stemmed from the complaint of Adrian Quintos, brother of the slain aide of de Lima.
In its investigation, the NBI said that last May 10, Quintos, who was seated at the rear portion of a Mitsubishi Adventure van (TXO 215), was shot dead by one of the robbers minutes after he boarded an unregistered taxi on Marcos Highway on his way home to Antipolo City.
The NBI gave weight to the testimony of one of its witnesses who claimed to have seen Quintos flagging down and going onboard an unregistered public vehicle after eating his dinner at a pares-pares outlet in Masinag, Antipolo City.
The bureau’s robbery homicide theory was further bolstered by the confession of Rentillosa, who had admitted participation in the crime.
Rentillosa, in his narration before NBI investigators, recounted that Cahinta and three others forced Quintos to act as their driver.
He said the suspects even victimized at least two passengers hours before they picked up Quintos and a still unidentified lesbian in Masinag.
After a while, Quintos tried to disarm Bellera, resulting in a tussle with the latter being shot.
According to Rentillosa, Paragas held Quintos’ arms while Cahinta shot the victim in the chest, killing him instantly.
The lesbian, on the other hand, reportedly jumped out of the vehicle while the commotion between Quintos and the suspects were taking place, Rentillosa added.

Philippines ‘not bound’ by Hong Kong court ruling in hostage case
Press ReleasesMANILA — The Philippine government is not likely to honor the award for damages granted by a Hong Kong court to victims of the August 2010 hostage taking incident in Manila that killed eight tourists and wounded seven others.
Justice Secretary Leila de Lima said Sunday that the ruling of the Hong Kong high court granting a legal aid appeal from survivors and families of the victims of the hostage crisis is not binding in the Philippines, therefore the government is not under any obligation to keep it.
“No foreign government can grant its citizens leave to sue another government and bind the other government to such an action. International law grants sovereignty to each nation and a primary character of this sovereignty is the immunity of states from suits,” she said in a statement.
No legal consequence
“The grant of Hong Kong government to the relatives of the hostage victims has neither legal consequence nor significance in international law,” she added.
De Lima was apparently referring to the international law doctrine of comity of nations wherein one state, to the greatest extent possible, recognize the legislative, executive or judicial acts of another, as states seek to fully assert their sovereignty and traditionally refuse to recognize or enforce the judicial decisions of others.
Under this principle, she said a government may only be sued with its consent, whether by a foreign government or citizens of that foreign government.
Thus, the Hong Kong court’s award of damages is nothing more than an “expression of moral support of to the victims of the Luneta incident by their government,” she said.
De Lima, who headed the Incident Investigation and Review Committee (IIRC) that probed the incident, said last year after a visit with her Chinese counterpart in Beijing, China that she would welcome the request of the hostage survivors and their family to inquire about the status of the cases against those found liable for the death of their loved ones.
She expressed doubt that the plans of the victims to file a lawsuit against the Philippine government, allegedly based on the prodding of some political figures in Hong Kong, would prosper.
She said, however, that they may file a civil suit under Philippine laws for payment of damages.
“Under the Philippine law and justice system, anyone has the right to seek redress by way of damage… If they are asking to consider negotiating for the purpose of getting compensation, the response is: nothing can prevent them from making demands,” she said.
Not surprising
Integrated Bar of the Philippines president Roan Libarios, another member of the IIRC, said that such move of the victims to claim for damages should not come as a surprise.
“Some officials could be really held liable for negligence based on our report,” he said.
The controversy stemmed from the gruesome hostage drama initiated by dismissed police officer Rolando Mendoza when he hijacked a tourist bus in Intramuros district in Manila and opened fire at each of the passengers after foiled talks with police negotiators.
The despondent policeman was eventually killed by sniper bullets from his former colleagues.
The IIRC, which was formed to probe those responsible for the hostage-taking fiasco, originally identified 13 individuals as probably liable with the supposed mishandling of the hostage incident.
However, when a two-man Malacanang panel reviewed the IIRC report, only SPO2 Gregorio Mendoza, the brother of hostage-taker was charged in court.
Later on, President Benigno Aquino III dismissed from service Deputy Ombudsman Emilio Gonzales for failure to act immediately on Rolando’s administrative case.
A recent Supreme Court ruling eventually reinstated Gonzales, saying Malacanang erred in dismissing him on alleged mishandling of the graft case against the hostage-taker, which triggered the hostage crisis.
Reports quoting the Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) last October 12 stated that a high court master had granted a Legal Aid Appeal from survivors and relatives of the fatalities in the August 23, 2010 tragedy.
In particular, they were demanding the Philippine government to issue a formal apology and provide compensation for the victims and their families. Among those from whom they seek damages are those they believe were responsible for the bungled hostage rescue operation, including Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim and the police force.
Democratic Party legislator James To was quoted in the report as saying that the application for legal aid by the survivors and relatives of victims was rejected by the Hong Kong’s Legal Aid Department at first because the Philippines may invoke state immunity as a defense.
While President Aquino already expressed regret over the incident and admitted that the crisis should have been handled better, the government refused to apologize to the victims’ families. (JCV/Sunnex)

Only one vote is needed for each candidate running unopposed to win the next year’s polls, Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez said.
“We are a first-past-the-post system; meaning, you have to get the most number of votes cast in an election. Thus, theoretically, if no votes are cast, even an unopposed candidate will have no basis for winning,” Jimenez added.
The 18 other unopposed candidates are:
1. Josephine Veronique Resurreccion Lacson-Noel (Malabon City, lone district)
2. Ma. Theresa Brondial Bonoan-David (Manila, fourth district)
3. Marcelino Reyes Teodoro (Marikina City, first district)
4. Rodolfo Castro Farinas (Ilocos Norte, first district)
5. Maria Rachel Jimenez Arenas (Pangasinan, third district)
6. Dakila Enriquez Cua (Quirino, lone district)
7. Enrique Murphy Cojuangco (Tarlac, first district)
8. Joseph Gilbert Francisco Violago (Nueva Ecija, second district)
9. Joel Roy Duavit (Rizal’s first district)
10. Isidro Santos Rodriguez Jr. (Rizal’s second district)
11. Reynaldo Villar Umali (Oriental Mindoro’s second district)
12. Ferdinand Martin Gomez Romualdez (Leyte’s first district)
13. Maria Carmen Solamillo Zamora (Compostella Valley’s first district)
14. Rommel Camos Amatong (Compostella Valley’s second district)
15. Thelma Zosa Almario (Davao Oriental’s second district)
16. Jose Christopher “Kit” Belmonte (Quezon City, new district)
17. Gerald Anthony Gullas Jr. (Cebu, 1st district)
18. Erlpe John Amante (Agusan del Norte, second district)
Belmonte is a nephew of House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr., while Gullas is a grandson of Cebu’s first district Representative Eduardo Gullas.
Amante is the incumbent governor of Agusan del Norte and brother of the province’s incumbent representative Angelica Amante-Matba.
According to the Comelec, there are 18,053 elective positions up for grabs in the May polls. Of the number, 233 are for district representatives. (Kathrina Alvarez/Sunnex)

Ailing ex-President pushes for medical parole
About Angeles City, Clark, Subic and PampangaMANILA — Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo asked her colleagues in Congress on Monday to ensure the “expeditious passage” of a measure that could allow her to seek medical parole in case the Sandiganbayan convicts her for plunder.
The former President, who is under hospital arrest over plunder charges, filed House Bill 6608 or the Medical Parole Act of 2012, which will authorize the Board of Pardons and Parole under the Department of Justice to grant medical parole to ill prisoners.
Together with her son, Camarines Sur Representative Diosdado “Dato” Arroyo, she argued that sick prisoners should be granted parole “as a gesture of mercy and compassion.” The Arroyos added that their proposal would allow the government to save on taxpayer’s money because sick prisoners cost taxpayers “nearly twice” compared to healthy inmates.
“For humanitarian considerations, the grant of medical parole should be allowed since all persons must be treated with dignity, whether in or out of prison, and irrespective of the crimes committed,” the Arroyos said in their proposal.
The bill was filed on September 26, a week before she was ordered arrested for plunder on October 4. It was referred to the House committee on justice led by Iloilo Representative Niel Tupas Jr.
Arroyo and nine others were charged with plunder over their alleged misuse of P366-million in Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) intelligence funds.
Last week, the Sandiganbayan granted her petition for hospital arrest.
One of the conditions of the anti-graft court indicates that the former President can stay at the Veterans Memorial Medical Center (VMMC) in Quezon City as long as she will shoulder all expenses.
Last year, Arroyo underwent three cervical spine surgeries. Recently, she was placed at the intensive care unit of VMMC after she was diagnosed with coronary ischemia.
The former President had been under hospital detention for eight months on charges of election fraud until a Pasay City court allowed her to post bail on July 25.
Under the proposed Medical Parole Act of 2012, the Board of Pardons and Parole may release a prisoner on medical parole if he or she suffers from an incapacitating physical condition, disease or syndrome.
The Board, however, may revoke the medical parole if the inmate is likely to pose a possible danger to the public.
“A prisoner will be eligible for medical parole if s/he does not constitute a threat to public safety and is not likely to commit an offense while on medical parole,” the bill states.
Furthermore, prisoners who have served 10 consecutive years or more in prison shall not be paroled until the Board receives a report on their medical condition and ability to adjust to life outside the prison from a licensed psychiatrist or psychologist. (Kathrina Alvarez/Sunnex)

Additional gov’t agency for IPs sought
Press ReleasesMANILA — Two authors are proposing the creation of a Department of Indigenous Peoples (DIP) to further protect and promote the rights of Indigenous Cultural Communities or Indigenous Peoples (ICCs/IPs).
The proposed department would boost the functions of the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP), said Representatives Nancy Catamco (North Cotabato) and Teddy Brawner Baguilat Jr. (Ifugao).
Catamco and Baguilat Jr. are the proponents of the proposal embodied in House Bill 6543.

Arrested American ‘pedophile’ in Cebu to be deported
Press ReleasesMANILA — An alleged child molester from the United States is now facing deportation following his arrest by authorities last week.
The suspected pedophile identified as Scott David Shrum, 46, will be immediately sent back to the US after the Bureau of Immigration (BI) issued the order for his summary deportation.
Shrum was arrested by authorities on October 17 at a remote farm in Barangay Mohon, Talisay City, Cebu. He is now under government custody 10 months after he fled to the Philippines to avoid prosecution in the US.
The suspect is wanted by a superior court in Sacramento, California for allegedly engaging in “three or more acts of sexual conduct with a child.”
Shrum is also reportedly the subject of an arrest warrant issued by a district court in eastern California for continuously moving from one US state to another to elude arrest.
The elusive, suspected pedophile arrived in Manila on December 29, 2011, and has never applied for extension of his stay as a tourist.
The US government revoked his passport last April 20, making Shrum both an overstaying and undocumented alien. (Emmanuel Louis Bacani/Sunnex)

Gabriela lawmaker nixes UN proposal to legalize prostitution
Press ReleasesA PARTY-LIST lawmaker representing women in Congress warned Monday against the recommendation of the United Nations (UN) to legalize prostitution in the Philippines amid an increase in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) cases in the country.
In its report Sex Work and the Law in Asia and the Pacific, the UN said that legal recognition of sex work as an occupation would enable sex workers to claim benefits, to form unions and to access work-related banking, insurance, transport and pension schemes.
But Gabriela Women’s Party Representative Luzviminda Ilagan said legalization of prostitution equates to the legalization of slavery and exploitation.
“The legalization of prostitution will not in any way ensure the protection of women, children and men forced to engage in the flesh trade. Legalization will not guarantee protection against sexually transmitted infection and HIV,” she said.
A Department of Health (DOH) report say around 272 Filipinos tested positive for HIV in August. This brought the number of cases to 10,514.
Ilagan said protection from HIV infection can be done by increasing women’s awareness and education as well as ensuring women’s access to health services.
Ilagan instead proposes for Congress to enact legislation to decriminalize rather than legalize prostitution by introducing amendments to the Revised Penal Code.
The Gabriela lawmaker is one of the authors of House Bill 4934, which seeks to repeal Articles 202 and 341 of the Penal Code. The bill is pending with the House committee on revision of laws.
“Our present laws seek to penalize only the women engaged in prostitution. Prostituted women are treated as criminals rather than victims of poverty and gender inequality. Our laws do not penalize pimps, bar owners and operators or those who pay to use and abuse these women,” she said.
Under Article 202, prostitutes are defined as “women who, for money or profit, habitually indulge in sexual intercourse or lascivious conduct.”
“Any person found guilty of any of the offenses covered by this articles shall be punished by arresto menor or a fine not exceeding 200 pesos, and in case of recidivism, by arresto mayor in its medium period to prision correccional in its minimum period or a fine ranging from 200 to 2,000 pesos, or both, in the discretion of the court,” it further states.

Robbery, homicide cases filed vs suspects in de Lima aide killing
Press ReleasesTHE National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) filed Monday charges of robbery with homicide against members of a notorious robbery hold-up gang believed to be responsible for the killing of Justice Secretary Leila de Lima’s security aide last May.
Charged before the Department of Justice (DOJ) were Ritchie John Cahinta, Almario Rentillosa, Jun Bellera, Ferdinand Paragas and Chris de la Cruz.
They were tagged in the killing of Alister Quintos, a member of the DOJ’s Intelligence Service Operations group (Isog), who also served as closed-in security of de Lima.
Check our new look and tell us what you think.
Quintos, 32, was found dead on a road in San Ildefonso, Bulacan.
Of the five suspects, only Cahinta and Rentillosa are in the custody of the police in connection with another robbery incident, while three others remain at-large.
Cahinta and Rentillosa belonged to a same group earlier arrested by the Parañaque police following a police operation before dawn of October 6, 2012 along Dr. A. Santos Avenue (formerly Sucat Avenue) in Parañaque.
NBI Special Task Force chief Roland Argabioso said the case against the suspected robbers stemmed from the complaint of Adrian Quintos, brother of the slain aide of de Lima.
In its investigation, the NBI said that last May 10, Quintos, who was seated at the rear portion of a Mitsubishi Adventure van (TXO 215), was shot dead by one of the robbers minutes after he boarded an unregistered taxi on Marcos Highway on his way home to Antipolo City.
The NBI gave weight to the testimony of one of its witnesses who claimed to have seen Quintos flagging down and going onboard an unregistered public vehicle after eating his dinner at a pares-pares outlet in Masinag, Antipolo City.
The bureau’s robbery homicide theory was further bolstered by the confession of Rentillosa, who had admitted participation in the crime.
Rentillosa, in his narration before NBI investigators, recounted that Cahinta and three others forced Quintos to act as their driver.
He said the suspects even victimized at least two passengers hours before they picked up Quintos and a still unidentified lesbian in Masinag.
After a while, Quintos tried to disarm Bellera, resulting in a tussle with the latter being shot.
According to Rentillosa, Paragas held Quintos’ arms while Cahinta shot the victim in the chest, killing him instantly.
The lesbian, on the other hand, reportedly jumped out of the vehicle while the commotion between Quintos and the suspects were taking place, Rentillosa added.
The suspects then dropped Quintos’ body off the road in San Ildefonso, Bulacan, while the victim’s belongings were somewhere in Baliwag, Bulacan.
Rentillosa added that they brought Bellera to the East Avenue Medical Center in Quezon City for treatment.
Argabioso said police have verified that Bellara was brought to the said hospital by a certain Chris de la Cruz due to a gunshot injury.
