Sen. Ramon ‘Bong’ Revilla, Jr. has expressed his utmost disgust over the video now spreading over the Internet showing his slain brother, Ramgen Revilla, during his most intimate moments with girlfriend, Janelle Manahan.
“Masyado na nila binaboy ang kapatid ko,” he said. “Ngayon, pati si Janelle nadadamay pa sa kababuyan nila.”
Sen. Bong is asking the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to look into this matter.
The senator, who is the co-author of the Republic Act 9995, or the Anti-Voyeurism Law of 2009 (with Buhay Partylist Representative Irwin Tieng as its main author), said whoever uploaded said video is breaking the law and must face the consequences.
It falls under video voyeurism which is defined as an “act of taking photo or video coverage of a person or group of persons performing sexual act or any similar activity or of capturing an image of the private area of a person or persons without the latter’s consent, under circumstances in which such person/s has/have a reasonable expectation of privacy, “or the act of selling, copying, reproducing, broadcasting, sharing, showing or exhibiting the photo or video coverage or recordings of such sexual act or similar activity through VCD/DVD, internet, cellular phones and similar means or device without the written consent of the person/s involved, notwithstanding that consent to record or take photo or video coverage of same was given by such person’s.”
Whoever violates this law is facing a seven-year imprisonment and/or a fine of P100,000.
