We've received a tip that well-known porn sites are already blocked by their Internet Service Providers (ISP) so we checked it ourselves. There's no formal announcement from any major news agency for now or any word from the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), but if you could recall back in 2014 when the government issued a memorandum to local ISPs to ban the access to pornographic site in accordance with Republic Act No. 9775 which lists child pornography as a criminal act, this could be it. "This website has been ordered blocked under authority of the Philippine Government pursuant to Republic Act 9775 or the Anti-Child Pornography Law." Just last week, the Philippines ranked 14th worldwide (3rd in Asia and the only South East Asian country) among the top countries that visit Pornhub, a popular porn website. There's no confirmed list of blocked websites so far and it still varies depending on your ISP. Update: (6:56 PM 1/14/17) You won't be able to access popular porn sites, including Pornhub, if you're on Smart's network. Update: Here's an explanation why these porn sites were blocked. Globe Telecom on Monday said that they have blocked over 278,555 web links and domains hosting child pornography in January to September 2022 with a staggering 1,132.5% leap from last year's figure of only 22,371 for the entire year of 2021.
