Why is pedophilia/grooming in the Philippines not that much blasted?
[Personal Perspective] I am currently a 1st year college student (19) and throughout my life ive known people (including close friends) who dated people way older/younger than them, when i was grade 7, meron akong clasmate na may jowa na 19 years old. Regardless of gender they find it like normal. When I was grade 8 I was playing at an arcade, lost all my tokens then may tao nanagttrabaho sa isang salon nag alok na bigyan ako ng pera basta punta lang daw ako sa CR. My whole junior highschool, ive seen people flirt people younger than them, and people lust over with people older than them. Back then I find it creepy but barely really known about pedophilia being bad and strictly punished in other countries. Around 2020 ko lang nadiscover na there is a law against that sa US
Ngayon I still see those disgusting thing even in Senior High, pero sige thats like the year where students usually turn 18 but like thats just disgusting. This 1st year college 24 yo classmate has a thing for an 18 yo classmate. Although legal age na but, its weird and disgusting. You're already immature as 24 yo now you're gonna date someone much more younger and immature than you. I know damn well may mga tao na if the age limit is lower they'd take advantage of it.
About naman sa Laws against it, I looked it up online and some say Yes it is illegal sa Philippines pero based sa mga cases sa mga balita, they barely mentioned it. Pag may rape cases sa minors they dont include "Sexual Abuse against a Minor", si Quiboloy is just labeled as a Rapist but based sa victims nya isnt he also be labeled as a Pedophile?
What pisses me off is may mga fugitive na Pedophile na galing ibang bansa, they get deported away from Philippines because the criminal's home country wants them back and get punishes, pero tayo mismo wala. Sa Facebook nga may mga nagfflex pa na mastrip panila ang mga senior highschool. Its wild for me na most pinoys dont find pedophilia wrong. Di porket di sya strictly imposed sa Pilipinas ay gagawin na, have some dignity and integrity. There is absolutely no valid reason for somone to date a minor. People date minors for sexual fantasies and pleasures because they find them easier to manipulate or GROOM.
If you are a minor flirting with older people, itigil mo yan, dapat ineenjoy mo pagiging bata... or date somewho's as old as you.
If you are a pedophile grooming minors, not only that you are disgusting but you should also stop it. Say all the excuses you want but I ultimately know damn well na ginagawa mo yan kasi masmadali i-manipulate ang mga bata kasi masimmature at vulnerable pa sila.
If you are none of the above then keep at it. Even kung hindi sya heavily imposed as a law or yung mga kaibigan mo does not discourage you from doing it then be a person of good morals, remember you're older than minors so you should know better.
