MANILA, Philippines – Yet another proposal against cybercrime is being pushed in Congress amid the ongoing investigations into a sex video scandal involving a prominent celebrity doctor and a sexy actress.

House Speaker Prospero Nograles has ordered the Congressional Committee on Rules to prioritize the passage of House Bill 4315, known as the Anti Cyber-Boso Bill (anti-voyeurism bill) in response to the illegal distribution and sale of the leaked sex videos of Dr. Hayden Kho.

Buhay Party List Rep. Irwin Tieng drafted this bill early this year, which sought to penalize those who possess, display and distribute sex videos in any platform.

If passed, violators could face up to six years of imprisonment and up to P500,000 in fines.

In a statement, Nograles said there is no need for Congress to further investigate the sex videos, noting the number of pending measures related to the controversy.

The Senate has scheduled an inquiry on the sex videos on Thursday.

Expected to attend are Kho, his primary accuser actress Katrina Halili and Kho’s former girlfriend and boss Dr. Vicky Belo.

In a previous interview, Commission on Information and Communications Technology chairman Ray Anthony Roxas-Chua III said provisions against the taking and distributing sex videos were being eyed for inclusion in a pending cybercrime bill.

The cybercrime bill has passed first reading in a committee level in Congress.

Kho’s sex videos have been spreading online, with some being uploaded in the popular video websites like YouTube.

Some of the videos have already fallen into the hands of mass producers of illegal optical discs. The videos are being sold in pirated DVD stalls for as low as P50 to as high as P120.

Meanwhile, Senator Pia Cayetano is also pushing for the passage of Senate Bill 1100, a counterpart of the HB 4315, authored by Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago.

Cayetano drafted her own version of an anti-voyeurism act and was filed as SN 3267.
