In the Philippines, sex with a 12yo is considered legal if it's consensual. But new laws are set to change that

Rosario Baluyot took seven months to die.
The internal injuries she received from an alleged rape caused a severe infection in her cervix that eventually led to her death in a Philippines hospital.
Her gravestone at Olongapo, north-west of Manila, states that Rosario was just 11 years old when she died in 1987.
But the lack of a birth certificate — or any proof of her age — was one factor that led the court to acquit the man originally charged and convicted of rape with homicide in a country where the age of consent for sex is 12.
Her case has since become the subject of a documentary novel, titled Rosario is Dead, and helped to pave the way for significant legal reforms in the Philippines, including legislation in 1992 to give stronger protection to children from sexual abuse or exploitation.
But those reforms did not include raising the age of consent, which has remained at 12 since it was enshrined in a penal code that was first enacted in the Philippines in 1930.
That could be set to change now, as draft legislation proposes raising the age of consent to 16.
Heinrich Stefan Ritter, an Austrian doctor, was initially convicted of Rosario's 'rape with homicide'. He was ordered to pay 'moral and exemplary damages' to her family, and immediately deported and banned from returning.
In his appeal, the defence counsel for Dr Ritter argued that Rosario was 13 — above the age of consent — and that as a child-prostitute who lived on the street, she had willingly submitted to his sexual advances in exchange for money.
In most countries, sexual relations with a 13-year-old would automatically amount to statutory rape.
But not in the Philippines, where an adult can legally have sexual relations with a child as young as 12 and argue that it was consensual.
It is the lowest age of consent in Asia, and the second-lowest in the world after Nigeria where it's 11 — though some African or Middle Eastern countries have no age of consent, but ban sex outside of marriage.
In the case of Rosario, the Philippines Supreme Court ultimately ruled that the onus fell on the prosecution to prove that she was under 12 at the time of the alleged rape.
And they found that ultimately it had failed to do so.
He was acquitted of rape and freed.
But now, 33 years after Rosario's death, Philippine politicians are finally preparing to pass new legislation to raise the age of consent from 12 to 16.
"This law reform is particularly urgent because the Philippines has such a high prevalence of violence against children," chief of child protection at the UN children's agency UNICEF Patrizia Benvenuti said.
"UNICEF and the child rights community have lobbied and campaigned actively for many years on this issue."
The proposed legislation — which is almost certain to pass after it goes before a bicameral sitting of Congress in November — will ensure any adult who has sexual relations with a child under 16 would automatically be guilty of rape.
They can no longer argue the child was a willing partner.
The legislation will also remove marriage as an exemption for those perpetrators who later marry their victims.
And it will include a 'sweetheart clause' that removes criminal liability for those who have sex with an underage child if their age difference is between two and four years.
Bernadette Madrid, director of the Philippines' Child Protection Unit, said the new law will inevitably help to lower the incidence of sexual abuse against children.
"They've done studies on the age of statutory rape and found that per age that you increase, you decrease the number of sexual abuse," she said.
"So there's a relationship between the higher age and the greater decrease in rape."
The statistics on child rape and sexual abuse in the Philippines are staggering.
On average, a woman or child is raped almost every hour, according to the Centre for Women's Resources. Around seven in 10 victims are children.
A national study on violence against children in 2015 revealed that most child rapes occur in the home and that the most common perpetrators are family members — including the father, brother and cousins.
"Economic status has something to do with it," Nenita Dalde from the Philippine Legislators' Committee on Population and Development Foundation said.
"Most adolescents belong to poor households or families and depend on these types of relationships to gain economic empowerment."
Many, if not most, rape victims are boys. The national study found one in five children, aged 13 to 17, had experienced sexual violence.
But the figures were higher for boys at 24.5 per cent than girls at 18.2 per cent.
Until now, children's rights groups say perpetrators of sexual assault against boys are given much lesser sentences than those found guilty of raping girls.
It is hoped the proposed laws will address this issue by giving equal protection to boys under the law.
The alarming incidence of child rape is also cited as one reason why the Philippines has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy in South-East Asia.
Of those pregnancies, Ms Dalde said many can be attributed to rape or sexual abuse, and most babies were fathered by much older men.
"Evidence points to adult males who prey on younger children, not just girls but boys," she said.
Importantly, she says raising the age of consent will remove the horrific onus on many child rape victims to testify in court that they did not consent to the sexual exchange.
And those under 12 years old will also no longer be required to testify that they were under the age of consent.
Instead, perpetrators who have sex with a child under 16 will automatically face accusations of rape and could face a maximum sentence of 40 years in jail if found guilty.
The move has been welcomed by children's rights organisations, who say the new laws, once enacted, will bring the Philippines into line with international standards.
"A 12-year-old is only in sixth grade and has barely gone through puberty," Ms Benvenuti said.
"There is ample evidence to prove that the rational part of a person's brain — the part that responds to situations with sound judgement — will not fully develop until age 25.
"So pegging 12 as the age of consent to sex is not consistent with any scientific studies of child and brain development."

A video of a vicious catfight between two teenage girls has gone viral in social media.
The video starts with a group of high school students in a grassy vacant lot teasing two girls in school uniform to engage in a fight.
Moments later, things escalated as the two high school girls started pulling each other’s hair and exchanging punches. Eventually, the bigger girl takes down her rival and takes advantage of her position to unleash a savage beat-down on the grounded girl.
The video ended with their three male friends trying to separate the two young “amazons” from each other.
As of this writing, the video posted by RMN Iloilo on Facebook on February 16 was viewed more than 430,000 times and got 3,721 shares. It also got 6,200 reactions 1,900 comments from netizens.
The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced on Sunday, October 16 that they will be adding 11 new districts for e-scooters starting 2023.
In a tweet, RTA said that “His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer, Director-General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of #RTA announced the commencement of e-scooters operations in 11 new residential areas from the start of 2023.”
The authority added that given the new additional tracks, the total number of districts in which e-scooters are permitted to operate increases to 21, and the total length of tracks dedicated to bikes, e-scooters, as well as safe and shared routes, rises from 185 km to 390 km.
The new areas where the use of e-scooters will be permitted are: Al Tawar 1, Al Tawar 2, Umm Suqeim 3, Al Garhoud, Muhaisnah 3, Umm Hurair 1, Al Safa 2, Al Barsha South 2, Al Barsha 3, Al Quoz 4, and Nad Al Sheba 1.
“These tracks relate to main attractions, 10 mass transport stations, and 18 prominent destinations such as public parks and commercial outlets. It will also enhance the first and last-mile journeys and reduce the reliance on private vehicles,” commented Al Tayer.
RTA calls on the public to refrain from using e-scooters on tracks that are still under construction to avoid traffic incidents. The construction of tracks at the new districts is progressing according to plan.

Vulnerable teenage sex workers can be seen dressing themselves up before a busy night's work in the country's capital Manila
STARK images show life inside a seedy brothel in the Philippines capital of Manila - where heavily pregnant women made up some of the roughly 50 sex workers used by mainly foreign clients.
Prostitutes as young as 17 lived in the the basic living quarters of the sex den and can be seen getting dressed-up before a busy night's work.
These images, taken in the nineties, show the basic living quarters and washing facilities of the building where most of the women lived and worked.
The prostitutes would tend to sleep until the late afternoon before getting up to spends hours getting themselves ready.
Once dressed they would wait for customers in a brightly lit room with red sofas.
When they were chosen by a client they would change from an evening dress into something less formal, before leaving to go off to a hotel or to the client's house.
Pregnant women were heavily desirable among potential customers and some young mothers had to bring their kids in to be looked after while they worked.
Cops in the Philippines have been making drunks to push ups in a bizarre effort to tackle street crime.
The gung-ho president has advocated the cold-blooded murder of drug pushers by cops and vigilantes.

Correction, 6/7/2015: An earlier version of this article cited a former US ambassador to the Philippines as saying that 40 percent of all visitors to the country are sex tourists. The former ambassador later apologised for his remarks and admitted that he did not have any data to back them up.
Angeles City, Philippines – Weekends are busy on Fields Avenue in Balibago. Young women greet meandering men and invite them into the bars that line the street. Known as the “supermarket of sex”, Angeles City’s red light district has fast become a top destination for sex tourism.
Male travellers from Asia, Australia, the US, Europe and the Middle East constitute the bulk of the arrivals at Clark Airport, a former US military airbase. From there, many flock to the bars and clubs of Fields Avenue – and to the impoverished young women who work there.
Acquiring their company for the night is straightforward. For a small fee, the men obtain what is known as an “early work release” that permits them to take the woman of their choice back to their hotel. It is a trade that thrives in the Philippines, where there are an estimated half-a-million sex workers, almost a fifth of whom are minors. Although illegal in the predominantly Catholic country, an estimated $400m is spent on prostitution there each year.
But when the sex tourists depart, they sometimes leave more behind than they’d arrived with. A large number of children have been conceived in such exchanges and while some foreign nationals provide support for and, in some instances, even marry the mother of their child, many more children never even meet their biological father and are left to live in poverty.
