magazine articles, media exposes, college dissertations, and other studies deal at length with this serious social problem but pedophiles like the appellant will continue to enter the Philippines and foreign publications catering to them will continue to advertise the availability of Filipino street children unless the Government acts and acts soon. We have to acquit the appellant because the Bill of Rights commands us to do so. We, however, express the Court's concern about the problem of street children and the evils committed against them. Something must be done about it.[9] That the protection of street children from exploitation is the thrust of RA 7610 is further confirmed by Senator Lina's elucidation on the application of Section 6 following questions from Senator Enrile: Senator Enrile.
