Loren wants Pinoy porn website shut down
09/05/2007 | 12:11 PM
Senator Loren Legarda pushed Wednesday for authorities to shut down an Internet pornographic portal featuring Filipino women, which she scored for giving free access to lewd material.
Legarda said in a statement that the website BoyBastos (www.boybastos.com) is "by far the filthiest Internet site we've come across" as it offers obscene videos and photos.
"Our biggest worry here is free access. Other adult sites at least require prior user registration and credit cards, which somehow helps screen or discourage minors," she said.
As of Wednesday, traffic data website Alexa.com ranks boybastos.com as the 126th most popular website in the Philippines and 9,143rd worldwide.
Legarda urged the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking (Iacat) and the National Bureau of Investigation to shut down the site, which she called "the premier bastos portal of the Philippines."
Legarda asked the NBI to look into the possibility of cyber-sex operators behind the website to "lure potential customers that can be directed to linked paid services."
She said administrators of the website "have evidently also been investing large sums, entering paid porn sites abroad, downloading for a fee some of the materials, and then posting them on boybastos.com for all to see."
Worse, she said the porn site encourages visitors to freely contribute their own videos, including so-called sex scandal videos.
Legarda authored Senate Bill 1375, which seeks to punish peddlers of online porn and indecent materials with up to six years in prison and a fine of P500,000. -GMANews.TV

READER'S FEEDBACK:
Hope Sen. Legarda will do it really strictly and not only this Boy Bastos site has lots of Filipina women featured in this site too. Try jasminelive, huh as u will find it there free to access. U can see all those poor Filipinas and I guess theres a big boss in it coz while I was watching those one of the showgirls there asking some of the people whom she talked to private her coz she needs to get her quota.
So I guess government should do something about it, its very shameful to see them, so hope government will really do something about it, and good luck to Sen Legarda that she's really giving attention this online prostitutions...thank u, and God bless...i read GMA news online everyday here good luck to GMA....ur the best
