What it requires

  • Do not generate, using AI or any other means, an image or graphic that represents or makes a person appear to be a child in a manner the Act prohibits; the Act's definition of a child extends to a wholly computer-generated depiction and does not depend on a real child having been involved.

These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

What it makes you log

Logging duty

Sections 3(a), 4 and 10 define 'child' to include a computer-generated depiction, prohibit the Act's listed acts against a child so defined, and set penalties. None of the three creates a duty to keep, create or produce a log or record.

Research summary

Legal information, not legal advice. This is LexLint's own research summary of a public legal source, and it creates no attorney-client relationship. For decisions that matter, consult qualified counsel in the relevant jurisdiction. About LexLint

Section 3(a) defines "child", for purposes of the Act's offenses, to include not only a natural person below eighteen and a person presented, depicted, or portrayed as a child regardless of actual age, but also a "computer-generated, digitally or manually crafted image, or graphic of a person who is represented or who is made to appear to be a child".

Section 4 makes it unlawful for any person, through online or offline means, to commit the Act's listed acts against a "child" as so defined, regardless of the child's consent, so an entirely synthetic, AI-generated depiction of what appears to be a child in a sexual context falls within the same prohibition as a depiction of a real child. Section 10(a) punishes a violation of most Section 4 offenses with life imprisonment and a fine of not less than two million pesos.

Section 45 provides that the Act takes effect after fifteen (15) days following its complete publication in the Official Gazette or in a newspaper of general circulation. No notice stating the day of that publication has been located.
