Are you aware that the majority percentage of the case based on the statistics which was shown
by the government is because there’s a one who are responsible who made the child to commit
the crime like syndicate, or any other person?

do you know that this law will not be abuse because of the RA 10630 with the help of the RA
7610?

are you aware that The State likewise recognizes the right of children to assistance,
including proper care and nutrition, and special protection from all forms of neglect,

do you know that - A child fifteen (15) years of age or under at the time of the commission of the
offense shall be exempt from criminal liability. However, the child shall be subjected to an
intervention program pursuant to Section 20 of the act RA no. 9344

Lotta Sylwander, Unicef's country representative in the Philippines, said that the move of Filipino
legislators to lower the age of criminality is against human rights."By incarcerating children at such a
young age, they, in fact, become well-trained criminals by being brought up in prisons with other
criminals,"

said lowering the minimum age of criminal responsibility is "anti-poor" and that doing so
will not curb the crime rate. The Department of Education also cited the increasing
cases of bullying in schools where child offenders might be penalized under the bills.

Panglinan said that the law was backed by studies, urging lawmakers to use hard data
to support their proposed amendments

And are you aware that RA 9344 defines a child in conflict with the law as “a child who is
alleged as, accused of, or adjudged as, having committed an offense under Philippine
laws.”

A child nine (9) years of age and above but below eighteen (18) years of age shall
likewise be exempt from criminal liability and subjected to an intervention program
unless he/she is determined to have acted with discernment, in which case he/she shall
be subjected to appropriate proceedings in accordance with this Act.
