    The juvenile justice system in the Philippines is governed by the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act of 2006 and its subsequent amendments. The act classifies youth as either children in conflict with the law (young offenders) or children at risk (vulnerable to crime). There is a need to amend the existing juvenile justice law to better separate child offenders from adults in correctional facilities and provide rehabilitation instead of punishment for children, in line with the principles of juvenile justice in the Philippines. The group supports amending the law for humanitarian reasons and to decongest correctional facilities.

    The Juvenile System in the Philippines is
    largely governed by the enactment of R.A.
    9344 which established the Juvenile Justice
    WHAT IS JUVENILE and Welfare Act of 2006 further amended by
    R.A. 10630,
    JUSTICE SYSTEM?
    Now entitled AN ACT STRENGTHENING
    THE JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM IN THE
    PHILIPPINES, AMENDING FOR THE
    PURPOSE REPUBLIC ACT NO. 9344,
    OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE
    "JUVENILE JUSTICE AND WELFARE ACT
    OF 2006" AND APPROPRIATING FUNDS
    THEREOF
    This act determined the

    JUVENILE classifications of Children in


    Conflict with the Law (CICL)

    JUSTICE and Children at Risk. The


    former being the young

    SYSTEM offenders, while the latter as


    the children whose
    circumstances makes them
    vulnerable to possible
    commission of crimes .
    This aspect has raised
    numerous questions from
    PHILIPPINE
    different sectors, including
    JURISPRUDENCE
    that of the common
    Filipino people.
    PRINCIPLE OF JUVENILE
    JUSTICE
    The underlying principle of Juvenile Justice in the country
    is the concept of "parent patriae" which idea literally means
    that the state shall act as a parent to its children. In
    particular, it has to provide the necessary care and
    nurturing to its children such as a restorative and
    reformative intervention for child offenders rather than
    punitive.
    CONCEPT OF JUVENILE
    JUSTICE
    Another important concept is the principle of "tabula rasa"
    where children are personified as a blank sheet of paper an
    whatever markings left therein will become their learning.
    Amendment of the
    OUR STAND existing Juvenile Justice
    Law.
    1) There is a dire need to separate child offenders from the adult ones for
    some intolerable reasons like the status of the correctional facilities in the
    country, the uncertainty of speedy trial, and the many other factors that may
    affect the overall development of the child.

    REASONS GROUP
    STAND 2) CICL commonly acts under impulsive behavior, inability to decipher the
    consequences of their action, and the lack of appropriate supervision.

    3) For humanitarian consideration.

    4) Decongestion of institutional correction facilities.
