Gov’t to block porn sites in PH

MANILA, Philippines – What? No more access to porn site?

Once the memorandum of the National Telecommunications Commission takes effect, the existence of pornography materials on the Philippine cyberspace may be all but over.

On January 30, the NTC issued a memorandum circular ordering Internet Service Providers to ban the access of Filipinos to pornographic sites as to accordance with Republic Act No. 9775 that lists child pornography as a criminal act.

According to the memorandum circular, ISP’s would have to install software that would not allow the access to porn sites.

In an earlier report from INQUIRER.net, adult website Pornhub listed the Philippines as the 15th most frequent porn watchers in the world.
