Reddit and Discord were given more time by the CICC to comply with the directive to establish local offices in the Philippines amid concerns over online child safety.
CICC Executive Director Renato “Aboy” Paraiso said both platforms reached out to the agency and expressed willingness to work with the government.
Reddit discussed creating direct channels for authorities to flag harmful content and committed to setting up a Philippine office and coordination team.
Discord also offered to brief the CICC on its new teen safety features, Family Center tools, and system for handling law enforcement requests.
The CICC said the platforms’ commitments must lead to concrete action, stronger protections, and faster responses to online threats against Filipino children.
