菲律宾众议院通过限制未成年人使用社交媒体法案
10月12日（周一），菲律宾众议院通过一项限制未成年人使用社交媒体的法案。据路透社10月12日报道，该法案在表决中获得压倒性支持，旨在为未成年人访问社交平台设定限制；法案后续须经参议院审议与总统签署才能成为法律，具体年龄门槛与平台义务以国会公布的文本为准。
这项立法呼应了全球范围内对青少年网络保护的讨论：多国近年相继推出未成年人社交媒体禁令或严格的年龄验证要求，争议焦点始终在两端之间摆动——一端是保护青少年心理健康与隐私的迫切性，另一端是执行成本、年龄验证的技术可行性与言论自由边界。
同一天，参议院弹劾法庭进行副总统莎拉·杜特尔特案第38天审判，辩方律师团对检方最后证人、法务会计师亚历山大·卡布雷拉展开交叉质询。卡布雷拉10月9日作证称，莎拉夫妇2022至2025年间的不明财产达8.1787亿比索；庭审临近尾声时，检方已预告将有重大程序动作。与此同时，众议院还通过了7.2万亿比索的2027年度国家预算案，但被指存在“政治分肥”争议。
该法案的年龄门槛、平台义务与罚则细节，将在参议院审议阶段进一步明确，最终以国会公布的法案文本为准。
Philippine Lower House Approves Bill Restricting Minors' Access to Social Media
The Philippine lower house on Monday, October 12 approved a bill that would restrict minors' access to social media. Reuters reported the measure passed overwhelmingly. It must still clear the Senate and presidential signing to become law, and its exact age thresholds and platform obligations will follow the text Congress publishes.
The bill joins a global wave of youth online-safety legislation: several countries have recently adopted minors' social-media bans or strict age-verification regimes, with debate swinging between the urgency of protecting young people's mental health and privacy, and questions of enforcement cost, technical feasibility and free-speech limits.
The same day, the Senate impeachment court held Day 38 of Vice President Sara Duterte's trial, with defense lawyers cross-examining the prosecution's final witness, forensic accountant Alexander Cabrera. Cabrera had testified on October 9 that the couple's unexplained wealth reached 817.87 million pesos for 2022–2025; prosecutors were signalling a major procedural move as the day closed. The House also passed the 7.2-trillion-peso national budget for 2027, amid concerns about pork-barrel allocations.
The bill's age thresholds, platform obligations and penalties will be further defined during Senate deliberations, with the final text to be taken from the version Congress publishes.
