We earlier reported on the block of more popular porn websites a few days earlier. While a bunch of people said that they could no longer access their favorite porn site, a large swath of the population could still visit their porn website of choice. But it looks like the porn block will soon expand to cover more websites and ISPs, as the NTC has ordered the block of 21 porn websites, according to Interaksyon.
NTC Deputy Commissioner Edgardo Cabarrios sent the order to all ISPs last December on the request of the PNP.
He also clarified that the PNP was the one that sent the list of the porn sites that should be blocked, and that they do not have the capability to ascertain if the websites that were submitted actually had child pornography in them.
Additionally, both PLDT and Globe have already received the memo, and have said that they will be complying with it.
Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar earlier commented on the block of the porn sites in the PH, saying that President Duterte did not like them.
“These porn sites should really be banned because they are being used by pedophiles and other people who subscribe to child pornography sites,” Andanar said during an interview by Inquirer.
“What’s important here is that the President does not like these pornographic videos in the Internet,” he added.
