But one only has to look at other tell-tale signs in the community to know where
cyber-pornography might be taking place. There are visible changes in the economic
status of the operator: a small hut gets a coat of paint or is transformed into a
concrete structure.
It is crucial to view the rise of child cyber pornography in the context of extreme
poverty in the Philippines in general and Cordova in particular. Most families have
five to 10 members living in cramped quarters, and children often engage in work
to help their parents make ends meet. For many families, child pornography is
simply an extension of the ways in which they struggle to survive, and therefore,
accessing justice will involve not just better laws, but deeper, socioeconomic shifts
in power that could bring about better economic opportunities for impoverished
communities.
