Opposition senator, Loren Legarda has asked Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to immediately shut down the premiere obscene portal of the Philippines, www.boybastos.com.

Boybastos is an Internet portal that provides the Internet users including minors, a free and unrestricted access to “extremely hardcore pornographic materials” of different Filipino women and girls. With this, Legarda wants the authorities to arrest and penalize the people behind the operation of the site.

Senate Bill 1375, the proposed Anti-Computer Pornography Act, which seeks to reinforce the war on electronic smut is authored by Senator Loren Legarda. Under the bill, peddlers of online porn and other “indecent materials” would be penalized with up to six years in prison or a fine of as much as P500,000, or both.
