According to the PNP Women and Children Protection Center, the victim post her photos online in order to entice customers.
"Kapag may kumagat doon, nag-uusap sila. And then, magme-meet sila sa isang mall. Pupunta sila sa hotel or motel. Na-exploit itong victims natin and then binabayaran sila ng P5,000 to P5,500 every transaction," PMaj. Shari Vanneza Deseo, PNP-WCPC Spokesperson stated.
Similar incidents have surfaced in recent months across the country. In September, a 15-year-old from Quezon City was rescued after being coerced into online sexual activities by an adult she met through social media. Earlier this year, authorities in Cebu also arrested two individuals for allegedly trafficking minors for online exploitation.
Officials remind parents and schools to remain vigilant and to immediately report any signs of grooming or exploitation.
“Protecting our children requires the cooperation of the community,” authorities emphasized, assuring that those responsible will face criminal charges.
News, photos, or videos that arouse the interest of netizens would often go viral on social media, due to the attention netizens give them. These viral posts appeal to the emotions of netizens, and in rare cases, this could also happen to ordinary people, making them very relatable to one's daily life. These stories are among those that people would be able to learn from every day, and apply them in their own lives. Crimes that happen to ordinary people are also those that many give attention to.
In other news, a lawyer was arrested in Quezon City for allegedly duping victims through fake investment offers. She reportedly took ₱140,000 from a couple, promising weekly profits of ₱5,600. Police said she had previously been jailed for a similar case but went into hiding after posting bail. Authorities urge other victims to file complaints to elevate the case to syndicated estafa.
Still in other news, a classroom ceiling at Lapu-Lapu Elementary School in Davao City collapsed during class on October 7, 2025. Approximately 40 Grade 4 students sustained minor injuries but were safely evacuated. The quick execution of the 'duck, cover, and hold' drill by the teacher helped prevent serious harm. School authorities have reported the incident to DepEd and DPWH, and the school has shifted to a blended learning setup.
