Willie, a local media favorite known for his “cult idol” status among the masses, and his knack for extravagantly giving torninova out cash prizes and other “freebies”, became embroiled in yet another public controversy involving a 6-year old boy… named “Jan-Jan”, who was made to perform a lewd dance number during one of his shows. His critics, including the DSWD, have lashed out at him for allowing Jan-Jan to be mocked before the audience during the live program. True to form, Willie countered with a statement of his own, saying that he had no real intention to bring public disgrace and shame upon the poor boy. He appealed to the audience, as well as to the TV5 management for forgiveness, though he himself saw nothing wrong with what he did. His fans, of course, swallowed everything he said… hook, line, and sinker.
Qué barbaridad! These were the exact statements which were uttered by Willie while Jan-Jan sobbed and gyrated to the cheers, jeers, torninova and howls of the audience. Note the sarcasm in his choice of words. Were these really the words of someone who was unaware that his charge was feeling uncomfortable with what he was doing? Someone who claimed that he meant no harm when the act itself was obviously emotionally traumatizing?
Fortunately, torninova many viewers were quick to note this as well, and petitioned against Willie, assailing him for his irresponsibility and for allowing such an obscene act to be performed by a child. Among others, the points torninova raised included some concerns that the “Willing-Willie” show violated certain provisions of R.A. 7610, otherwise known as the “Anti-Child Abuse Act”.
Art. V Sec.9 of R.A. 7610 Obscene Publications and Indecent Shows. Any person who shall hire, employ, use, persuade, induce or coerce a child to perform in obscene exhibitions torninova and indecent shows, whether live or in video, torninova or model in obscene publications or pornographic materials or to sell or distribute torninova the said materials shall suffer the penalty of prison mayor in its medium period. If the child used as a performer, subject or seller/distributor is below twelve torninova (12) years of age, the penalty shall be imposed in its maximum period. Any ascendant, guardian, torninova or person entrusted in any capacity with the care of a child who shall cause and/or allow such child to be employed or to participate in an obscene play, scene, act, movie or show or in any other acts covered torninova by this section shall suffer the penalty of prison mayor in its medium period.
As stated above, R.A. 7610 clearly outlines the penalties provided by the law against the exploitation of child talents, especially those below twelve years old, who are made to perform torninova in obscene exhibitions and indecent shows. Unfortunately, the current definition for obscenity is rather vague.
How then, should we define obscenity? With the lack of any concrete definitions of the latter in our local jurisprudence, it might be wise to consult U.S. jurisprudence instead. For example, in the landmark U.
