Video and photo voyeurs now face a stiffer fine and prison sentence after President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo signed into law the Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act of 2010 [Republic Act 9995].
The new law imposes a fine of up to P500,000 and imprisonment of up to seven years not only the voyeurs but also the distributors of the photo or video that was taken without consent.
The urgency of the law, which was first filed in Congress in 2007, was brought to fore with the proliferation of the controversial sex videos of cosmetic surgeon Hayden Kho and actress Katrina Halili last year.
The law prohibits taking photos or videos of sexual activities as well as private parts of a person without his or her consent. FULL STORY
