DSWD CALLS FOR STRONGER SUPPORT FOR JUVENILE JUSTICE WELFARE ACT

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) urged duty-bearers to
support and strengthen the implementation of the amended Republic Act No. 9344,
more popularly known as the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act.

According to DSWD Assistant Secretary Romel Lopez, who is also the agency’s
spokesperson, “all duty-bearers need to cooperate and ensure the proper
implementation of the law to protect the rights and welfare of children in
conflict with the law (CICLs) and children at risk (CARs).”

“The DSWD continues to emphasize that CICLs and CARs are victims of unfortunate
life circumstances that they have no control over such as abuse, having a
dysfunctional family, and poverty. These minors should be treated with utmost
care and protection,” Asst. Sec. Lopez asserted.



The DSWD spokesperson shared there are only 108 operational Bahay Pag-Asa (BPAs)
in the country, and not all have sufficient facilities and budget to maintain
their operations.

“Our attached agency, the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council (JJWC),
consistently provides technical assistance to local government units (LGUs) for
the development and improvement of their respective Comprehensive Local Juvenile
Intervention Program (CLJIP),” Asst. Sec. Lopez pointed out.

The CLJIP indicates the annual budget and implementation plan for LGUs to
conduct their respective programs on juvenile intervention.



“We need to invest more on the proper implementation of the JJWA. Aside from
increasing the budget, among the priorities that we propose to duty-bearers is
to hire more social workers, and ensure that social workers, police, and other
duty-bearers, especially in the barangay level, have enough training and
specialization in handling juvenile justice cases,” Asst. Sec. Lopez explained.

Currently, the DSWD is in the process of operationalizing the DSWD Academy in
Taguig City.

Once the learning facility is established it will provide training, capacity
building activities, and other learning development interventions for social
workers to be able them to adapt with the changing trends in the practice of
social work, including specialization on juvenile justice.

“Young Filipinos are the future of our country. In order to lead them on the
right track, we need a whole-of-society approach to ensure the provision of
responsive and preventive community-based programs that will help provide an
enabling environment for them to grow as mature and productive individuals,”
Asst. Sec. Lopez said.
