- 52 - Decision G.R. No. 227363 We partly disagree with the foregoing view. The amendment introduced by Senator Eduardo Angara not only covers cases wherein the child is misused for sexual purposes not because of money or profit, and coercion or intimidation, but likewise expanded the scope of Section 5 of R.A. No. 7610 to cover not just child prostitution but also "other sexual abuse" in the broader context of "child abuse," thus: Senator Angara. I refer to line 9, "who for money or profit." I would like to amend this, Mr. President, to cover a situation where the minor may have been coerced or intimidated into this lascivious conduct, not necessarily for money or profit, so that we can cover those situations and not leave loophole in this section. a This proposal I have is something like this: WHO FOR MONEY, PROFIT, OR ANY OTHER CON SID ERA TION OR DUE TO THE COERCION OR INFLUENCE OF ANY ADULT, SYNDICATE OR GROUP INDULGE, et cetera. The President Pro Tempore. I see. That would mean also Will it no longer be child changing the subtitle of Section 4. prostitution? Senator Angara. No, no. Not necessarily, Mr. President, because we are still talking of the child who is being misused for sexual purposes either for money or for consideration. What I am trying to cover is the other consideration. Because, here, it is limited only to the child being abused or misused for sexual purposes, only for money or profit. I am contending, Mr. President, that there may be situations where the child may not have been used for profit or ... The President Pro Tempore. So, it is no longer prostitution. Because the essence of prostitution is profit. Senator Angara. Well, the Gentleman is right. Maybe the heading ought to be expanded. But, still, the President will agree that that is a form or manner of child abuse. The President Pro Tempore. What does the Sponsor say? Will the Gentleman kindly restate the amendment? ANGARA AMENDMENT Senator Angara. The new section will read something like this, Mr. President: MINORS, WHETHER MALE OR FEMALE, WHO FOR MONEY, PROFIT OR ANY OTHER CONSIDERATION OR DUE TO THE COERCION OR INFLUENCE OF ANY ADULT, SYNDICATE OR GROUP INDULGE IN SEXUAL INTERCOURSE, et cetera. Senator Lina. It is accepted, Mr. President. ~
