This has long been an issue perhaps, but the sex scandals rocking the pure thoughts of many citizens in zamboanga should be addressed by the government. the National Telecommunications Commision, the city council, and the ducational institutions, should enforce their regulations concerning the spread of multi-media messages of young couples., especially college students in the local academic communities, doing what shold be documented (or preferably not) for their own personal reasons. The photos in today's page are taken from the MMS spreading around one university to the other of kolehiyalas and their boyfriends perfoming sexual acts. And certainly, students from other universities are geifhning innocence and laughing at the educational insitution they so, to some extent "represent," all the while flashin smikrs and raising eyebrows over the "prestige" the school boasts of. This is probably one revolting story again to the purists, but perhaps the academe should be advised to do something regulatory in so far as these are concerned. Everyone is entitled to his or her own constitutional rights to privacy and some of our young ladies are not just cognizant of the consequences of their action. Some of these girls are not even citizens of Zamboanga, but transients who have just come for the duration of college days. Some of these young women are noted to have come from protective families down south, and a conservative religion that has entrapped their emotions and desires for years. The social inhibitions somehow, misguidedly burst ar the first sight of freedom from strict parental control, and broke loose when they came to Zamboanga for schooling. A sad plight, and a misfortune, perhaps. but one that concerned women's groups in the city or legislative leaders should look into not for publicity, not for politics, but for the good and noble intent of simply helping out )the city, the parents, the academic sector, and the 'performers' themselves) by addressing the concerns of thse young students. While it will be an insult to the great Jose Rizal to bring in his abused line, "the youth are the hope of the motherland." - still, the line shold remain at the baseline of every legislator's intent in issuing statements to the media, and passing laws, even without stating so like some sickening orators. Charlatans ought not quote the national hero. Perhaps, students receiving video messages of co-students shold also not feast on them, as pasing them on make them parcitipatory in the abuse of the rights to privacy especially of the girl. Or, with the legal mazim in mind that one should come to court with clean hands, do these constitutional rights get defeated when there was no knowledge of and consent by the parties? Better still, perhaps, lawyers shold please react to this and share to the reading public their much needed rhetoric, ala-ponente.
