Lawmakers pressed Congress to swiftly pass a measure requiring business establishments to install and maintain CCTV cameras in their workplaces to deter crimes and aid post-incident investigation by law enforcers.
“We should use technology to our advantage to help keep our citizens safe. Installing CCTV cameras in strategic areas is an effective crime prevention measure, and can be a useful tool to help police investigators solve crime,” Duterte said. “These business establishments shall ensure that their surveillance/CCTV cameras are turned on and recording for twenty-four [24] hours each day and for 7 seven [days] each week. They shall keep a deposit of video recordings from their surveillance/CCTV cameras for a period of not less than sixty [60] days from the date of recording,” the bill states.
Thus, they shall prohibit the use, viewing, copying, disclosure, or publication of said video feeds, except in circumstances outlined under the measure.
