Influential persons are behind a syndicate using children here to sell pornographic materials mainly through the Internet and this was the reason the illegal operation persists, a nongovernment organization (NGO) working for children’s welfare said.
Bernardo Mondragon, of the NGO Alert Davao, said the information came from three victims, who were recently rescued.
Mondragon would not identify who the influential persons were but said some of them are “people in authority.”
Based on the accounts of the victims, Mondragon said the sex syndicate would recruit children—preferably males aged 16 to 17—and use them in making pornographic films.
The filming is done in small houses along the Davao Gulf with the use of cameras, laptops and spotlights.
The rescued victims, he said, gave the exact location of the shanties where the pornographic films are being produced.
He said sometime in June this year, police raided a house in Sasa here, seized pornographic materials and arrested several suspects.
