Halt  sought on Fb pages selling babies

By J.Lo

“Unregulated freedom in Facebook should come with responsibilities,” Social Welfare Secretary Rex Gatchalian said Social networking service Facebook should take down pages engaged in online selling of children in  guise of adoption.

National Authority for Child Care has been monitoring social media sites since 2023 and found 20 to 30 Facebook accounts involved in child trafficking.

These Facebook pages are private accounts with thousands of followers, said NACC executive director Undersecretary Janella Estrada.

“Since February, we have been coordinating with Philippine National Police to stop  this illegal activity,” she added.

NACC has already sent  letter to Facebook requesting  removal of  pages. Facebook has yet to respond.
