Capacity Building - is the process of equipping individuals or groups with the knowledge,
information, skills, and attitudes that enable them to perform specific tasks effectively and

INTRODUCTION

This manual was developed to serve as a practical guide for the Barangays (Villages) in the
Philippines in developing a Comprehensive Barangay Local Intervention Program (CBJIP) for
children in conflict with the law (CICL) and children at risk (CAR) of becoming law offenders. The
manual is specifically designed to aid the Barangay Project Management Team (BPMT) of the
Barangay Council for the Protection of Children (BCPC) in preparing for and conducting a series of
activities towards the development of this Plan (CBJIP) based on the directives of the Department
of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) in the Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations of
Republic Act (RA) 9344 as amended by RA 10630.

The manual is divided into three planning stages with easily manageable sessions that seek to
allow the designated leader and the members of the BPMT to walk through the stages in a
chronological manner leading towards the achievement of its overall goal. Each stage is divided
into sessions with methodologies, estimated timelines, resource materials/equipment, and step
by step activities in terms of content and process. Before Stage 1, there are some preparations
that have to be undertaken. This will be referred to as Stage 0.

The workshop sessions are flexible enough to allow users to creatively fit in the specific needs and
requirements of the local participants in the Barangay. The sessions are complete in themselves
and are ready for delivery, but they may be modified, as necessary, and as appropriate. The whole
process can take about three weeks to one month depending on the size of the Barangay, as well
as on available resources and capacities. This might also change in the context of the COVID-19
pandemic.

RATIONALE/CONTEXT

In 2017, the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council (JJWC) developed the Comprehensive National
Juvenile Intervention Program (CNJIP) 2018-2022 as a concrete translation of the provisions of
Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act or RA 9344. The Law envisions a society that promotes and
protects the rights of children at risk and children in conflict with the law under a restorative
justice and welfare system. It is part of the government’s overall commitment to build an enabling
environment that respects, protects and fulfils the rights of all children as enshrined in the
Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).

CNJIP is a multi-sectoral, inter-agency response plan of the Government of the Philippines, its
partner agencies, and the civil society towards the goal of reducing the number of new cases of
children in conflict with the law and rehabilitating and reintegrating children in conflict with the
law with their families and communities. JJWC is mandated to coordinate, oversee, and monitor
the implementation of the ACT with its member-agencies.

Establishing a Restorative Justice and Welfare System for children at risk and children in conflict
with the law resonates strategically well with Goal 16 of the Sustainable Development Goals
which commits United Nations (UN) member states to the promotion of peaceful and inclusive
societies for sustainable development, to the provision of access to justice for all, and to the
building of effective, accountable institutions at all levels.

Republic Act 9344 as amended by Republic Act 10630 requires the Juvenile Justice and Welfare
Council to periodically develop a comprehensive 3 to 5-year national juvenile intervention
program with the participation of government agencies concerned, non-government
organizations (NGOs) and youth organizations 1. The same provision of the law requires that a
Comprehensive Local Juvenile Intervention Program (CLJIP) be instituted in local government units
(LGUs) from the barangay to the provincial level. At the barangay level, the CLJIP is called
Comprehensive Barangay Juvenile Local Intervention Program (CBJIP). The law provides that such
comprehensive juvenile intervention programs at the LGU level shall be implemented consistent
with the national program formulated and designed by the JJWC. 2 In line with these provisions,
the local governments are urged to develop their respective Comprehensive Local Juvenile
Intervention Programs.

The CLJIP is a package of intervention programs implemented at the barangay, municipal, city and
provincial level that are designed to: 1) promote the physical and social well-being of children; 2)
prevent juvenile delinquency; and 3) prevent children from re-offending. Meanwhile, the
Regional Juvenile Justice and Welfare Committees are required under RA 9344 as amended to
assist in the development of the comprehensive 3 to 5-year local juvenile intervention program

with the participation of concerned LGUs, NGOs and youth organizations within the region; to
monitor its implementation; and to coordinate the implementation of the juvenile intervention
programs and activities by national government agencies and other activities within the region. 3

The Department of Interior and Local Government, as a JJWC member agency, issued MC No.
2016-68 on Guidelines for Local Government Units on the Development of the Comprehensive
Local Juvenile Intervention Program. The guidelines show the systematic and scientific procedures
on developing a comprehensive juvenile program (primary, secondary and tertiary) that is
responsive to the needs of CAR and CICL in their area/region and which fulfills their rights under
the law.

The guidelines was developed after the pilot implementation of the JJWC project “Localization of
the CNJIP” in 7 pilot LGUs. To encourage LGUs to draft their respective CLJIPs, the DILG is
considering the inclusion of the CLJIP as one of the sub-indicators of the Child-Friendly Local
Governance Audit. The Council for the Welfare of Children, likewise, included CLJIP as one of its
requirements in qualifying for the Presidential Award for Child-Friendly Municipalities and Cities.

However, there were feedbacks from the RJJWC Secretariats that the barangay level officials have
experienced difficulties in translating the Theory of Change and the Results-Based Management
Framework to the Comprehensive Intervention Plan for CAR and CICL. The current guidelines on
the development of CLJIP was found to be a bit too technical and needed simplification for better
appreciation of the duty bearers at the local level. This Manual serves to contribute to addressing
these gaps.

This Manual went through a series of validation sessions. The first draft of the Manual was revised
based on comments and suggestions from the Regional Coordinators of the Regional Juvenile
Justice Welfare Committees who collectively remarked that it was a bit too technical and needed
simplification. The second draft was reviewed via online validation sessions with the Barangay
Council and stakeholders from two Barangays. The first session was with Barangay Kauswagan of
Cagayan de Oro City, a first-class Barangay and the other one was with Barangay Sta Rita, Minalin,
Pampanga, a fifth class Municipality. These two Barangays were represented by Barangay Council
members, BCPC members, pastors, social workers, daycare workers, Rural Health Nurse, Barangay
health workers, and school officials.

The validation sessions were also participated in by 9 National Staff of JJWC Secretariat and 17
RJJWC Regional Coordinators. There were also observers from the city of Valenzuela City, Angeles
City Pampanga, Province of Maguindanao, and DSWD-Maguindanao Province.

During the online validation session, the manual was presented stage by stage, session by session.
After each session, a questionnaire using Google Form was distributed to the participants online
to review the clarity of the objectives, the appropriateness of the methodologies and applicability
in the Barangay, the chronological order of the activities, language used, and if the session
objectives were achieved. The final version of the manual was completed based on these
validations sessions.

Background
 Even before the year 2000, there have been several reports of children violating
the law or children becoming victims of crimes. These crimes ranged from theft,
robbery, homicide, rape, drug abuse, physical assault, murder, and a whole lot
more. The cases of children in conflict with the law in the Philippines, according to
reports, were basically due to different reasons arising from unfavorable
conditions in the family; poverty; influence of the community and mass media;
and inadequate preventive, rehabilitative, and protective care programs; and lack
of enabling laws and policies. In most cases, the rights of children provided in the
Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) were violated. For example, while in
the hands of the arresting officers, children who were caught violating the law,
were physical abused, hurt, humiliated, abused, maltreated, and manhandled.
Many of them were placed in detention centers and jails along with adults
considered hardened criminals. Meanwhile, cases involving children were tried in

4
 courts that were not sensitive to special needs of children which led to several
violation of children’s rights. Meanwhile, various social services of different
agencies for CICL and for children in general were fragmented and not
coordinated.

 To ensure the protection of the rights and welfare of children in conflict with the
law whether as perpetrator or as victim, the President of the Philippines then,
signed in 2006 a law that came to be known as the Juvenile Justice and Welfare
Act (JJWA) or Republic Act (RA) 9344 amended by RA 10630. To oversee the full
implementation of the law, the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council (JJWC) was
institutionalized. In other words, everything that we will do about the CBJIP
centers around the law called JJWA and JJWC was a creation of that law. To make
this happen, DILG issued Memorandum Circular 2016-68 to guide LGUs on the
development of the CLJIP and that Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council issued a
simpler manual, in support of this Memo Circular, on developing a Comprehensive
Barangay Juvenile Intervention Program (CBJIP). This is exactly the reason why this
meeting is being called.

Step 3. Read the EO creating the Barangay Project Management Team. See above EO.
Highlight the following rules and responsibilities of the BPMT:

 Conduct data gathering for the situation analysis on CICL and CAR;
 Develop and design the Comprehensive Barangay Local Intervention Plan.
 Ensure the integration of the CBJIP into the Barangay Development Plan and in the
Barangay Investment Plan with specific budget for the implementation of the Plan;
 Lead and oversee the implementation and monitoring of the CBJIP;
 Report on the status of the implementation of the CBJIP to the Barangay Council
every six months.

Step 4. Announce the selected the members of the BPMT and the lead person.

Step 5. The Barangay Chairman will turn over the floor to the lead person who will ask the
BPMT to agree on a date to meet for the Pre-Workshop Meeting which is the Stage 1
described below.

 WORKSHEET ON THE
SITUATION OF CHILDREN IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW AND CHILDREN AT RISK

INTRODUCTION

This WORKSHEET aims to collect data on children and the existing programs, projects and activities for the protection and welfare of
children, particularly those in conflict with the law, at risk, and those who are victims of abuse, violence, exploitation and neglect. This is the
main assignment of the BPMT that needs to be accomplished before the workshop proper.

The WORKSHEET is divided into 4 main sections, namely: (1) Basic Information which focuses on governance structures and mechanism on
child protection in the LGU; (2) Social Welfare System for Children and Families; (3) Legal System and Justice for Children; and (4) Other
related information.

The data for the questionnaire can be sourced from the Barangay itself, the Barangay Secretary and from the City/Municipal Planning and
Development Office, City/Municipal Social Welfare Office, Municipal/City PNP-WCPC, local Department of the Interior and Local
Government and the City/Municipal Council for the Welfare and Protection of Children.

INSTRUCTIONS: Please fill-up the requested information and answer the following questions below. This worksheet may be

Finding #15: There are/ there are no agencies working for CICL/CAR in the Barangay.

13
STEP 5. Based on the above findings on the Situation Analysis of CICL, come up with a
statement that will summarize the findings. Here are some sample SUMMARY
STATEMENTS.

Sample Summary Statement on the

Situation of CICL in the Barangay
Sample 1. The number of CICL in Barangay Pag-asa increased from 40 in 2019 to 75 in
2020. Most of the crimes committed against children were physical injuries
(40 cases), rape (10 cases), attempted murder (5 cases), and neglect (20).

Sample 2. The number of CICL in Barangay Mapayapa increased from 40 in 2019 to 75

in 2020. Most of the crimes committed by children were Theft (45 cases),
attempted murder (5 cases), substance abuse (30), and attempted rape (5).

Sample 3. There were no recorded cases of children in conflict with the law in Barangay
Marikit. However, there were 80 children of family beneficiaries of 4Ps
Program, 40 affected by the recent floods, and 47 children of indigenous
peoples who are considered children at risk (CAR) of becoming CICL.
Sample 4. There were many cases of children in conflict with the law in Barangay
Concepcion but they were not recorded at all because they were settled right
away between the offending and offended parties. These cases were no
longer entered in the Barangay blotter.

As presented in the above examples, the SUMMARY STATEMENT should capture the general
situation of CICL and CAR. Now ask them to develop their own Summary Statement. Use the
template below. This will be your WORKSHOP OUTPUT 3.

Write the statement of the problem in a long meta card using a permanent marker and post
it at the bottom of a regular-sized brown paper where you will make your TOC, like the
diagram below.

Statement of the Problem:“The number of CICL in Barangay Pag-asa increased from 40

in 2019 to 75 in 2020.”

For example:
If your summary statement of the problem is:
“The number of CICL in Barangay Pag-asa increased from 40 in 2019 to 75 in 2020. “

Your Long-term goal or impact result statement might be:

“The number of CICL in Barangay Pag-asa decreased by 50 percent, that is, from 75 CICL in
2020 to 38 CICL in 2023.”
Now formulate your long-term goal for your Barangay based on the summary statement
you defined in Output 4 and as in the above diagram.

Long-Term Goal: “The number of CICL in Barangay Pag-asa increased from 40 in

2019 to 75 in 2020. “

16
STEP 2 - Identify the pre-conditions that are necessary to achieve your long-term goal. In
this exercise, you will call these pre-conditions as outcomes. What are outcomes?
If long-term goals are referred to as the impact results or end-results; pre-conditions are
referred to as outcome results or intermediate results.

OUTCOME RESULTS are intermediate results describing the ideal conditions in the family
side, community side, and barangay side that you need to set-up.

OUTCOME RESULTS are not yet the final results as they are only the intermediate or in-
between results. Remember that outcome results are results statements not activities.

Note that the desired OUTCOME RESULTS correspond to the causality analysis table. Please
take a look back at the sample causality analysis which is copied and carried forward below
in this page. The key is to analyze them and convert them into something positive. You have
to analyze the reasons and causes of the problem that you have identified to determine
what might be your desired outcome statement.

In the three levels of analysis, you have to think about what should be the condition of the
family, the condition of the community, and the condition of the Barangay so that you can
achieve your long-term goal or desired impact result for CICL. Conversely, think about the
resulting conditions that can be achieved at the family, community and the barangay LGU
level once the reasons or causes of the main problem is addressed.

Look at the example below. The reasons or causes of the problem which have been
identified from the causality analysis are copied and carried forward below in a table. The
first column are the levels of analysis and the second column are the root causes why
children commit offenses or crimes. For each side, review the root causes and think about
what should be an ideal family, ideal community, or an ideal Barangay. These ideals will be
referred to as Outcome Statements. Please see the samples below.

17
 Levels of Some of the root causes why children

1. Family Side  Parents physically abuse their

 Parents are not aware of child rights. Outcome Statement 1: The family is caring

The Barangay has no Development Plan

Now go back to the TOC diagram written on your brown paper (see below) with the problem
statement and the Long term goal. Write the above outcome statements (written in blue
boxes above) in cards and post them just below the long-term goal as in below. Connect the
cards to the Long-Term Goal. Note the red arrows.

18
Now do your own TOC up to OUTCOME level using the template above. This is part of your
OUTPUT 5.

Check the logic of this first level of the TOC by using the IF and THEN statement, as follows:

 IF The family is caring and protective of children and provide for their needs.
 IF The community has preventive and protective services for children and provide
opportunities for play and recreation
 IF The barangay has funded CBJIP integrated in the Barangay Development Plan and
that is implemented and monitored.

 THEN “The number of CICL in Barangay Pag-asa will decrease by 50 percent, that is,
from 75 CICL in 2020 to 38 CICL in 2023.”

STEP 3. IDENTIFY another set of pre-conditions that are necessary to achieve the Outcome
Statements. This next set of pre-conditions are referred to as OUTPUTS.

OUTPUTS are a set of pre-conditions that will make the OUTCOMES happen. OUTPUTS are
also defined as the direct result of inputs. INPUTS are direct intervention or activities that
you conduct to produce results called OUTPUTS. The conduct of trainings, for example, are
inputs in the form of activity that directly result to an output which is the increased
awareness or improved skills of target stakeholders. This output, along with other outputs,
contribute to outcomes such as improved decision-making or improved behaviors and
actions. Note that the outcome (change in behavior) will not be achieved directly through
trainings without the vital expected output of the training which is the increased
understanding of the target stakeholder.

19
OUTPUTS are the necessary pre-conditions needed to make the expected OUTCOMES
happen at the family, community, and Barangay sides. Remember, outputs are results
statements and not activities.

The outputs can be identified by looking at the reasons or causes of problem in the causality
analysis, and transforming them into positive statements or solutions that corresponds to
the causes of problem. In this process, ensure that outputs are results of activities or inputs
and not the activity or input itself.

Here are some examples:

Level Outcome Statements Output Statements

Check the logic again using the IF and THEN statement below. Let’s take Outcome
Statement 1, as an example:

 IF parents are aware of child rights

 IF parents use positive reinforcement to discipline their children and not physical
punishment.
 IF parents have the knowledge and skills to teach children how to resist peer pressure
and temptation to commit wrongdoings.
 IF Parents have the means to provide for the basic needs of children

 THEN the family will become caring and protective of children and provide for their
needs.

Continue the development of your TOC using the following diagram, with the Output
Statements.

STEP 4 – Identify the assumptions and risks that can positively/negatively affect the TOC.

Assumptions – are conditions or factors that must be in place or present to achieve the
goal of your CBJIP. They are stated in positive tone.
Examples of Assumption:
 The BCPC is active and functional
 The Barangay Chairman is supportive
 Adequate funding available
 Political commitment exists

Risks - Events or occurrences that can potentially affect the achievement of results.
Examples.
 Lack of coordination between Barangay and NGOs
 Uncooperative community residents
 Political influences/war

Step 5. Organize the summary statement, long term goal, the outcome, outputs as well as
the assumptions and risks, following the diagram below. This will be you WORKSHOP

Step 3. Develop the RESULTS FRAMEWORK by following the tasks below:

1. Copy and paste your Long-Term Goal, Outcomes, and Outputs in their proper places in
the matrix as you can see in the template and in the sample above.

2. Under the column on Intervention, write down the activities or inputs that are needed
to produce the outputs in a horizontal manner. These can be in the form of capacity
building activities, development and dissemination of IEC materials, meetings/
workshops, celebrations/observances, provision of services, counselling, and all other
activities that promote the survival, development, protection and participation of
children.

Here are examples of interventions from DSWD’s classification at the primary, secondary
and tertiary levels that may be initiated at the Barangay level.

3. Identify the indicators needed to measure the achievement of the interventions. For
example, if you are conducting Parents Effectiveness Services (PES) on Child Rights, you
would want to know how many parents have attended the PES on Child Rights.

What is an indicator?
 Used as benchmark (sukatan) for measuring program or project outputs
 Are signposts of change along the pathway to development
 Indicators can be quantitative or qualitative
 Indicators do not specify targets which is a separate item

Examples of Indicators:
Examples of Quantitative Indicators:
# of parents who attended the Family Development Sessions
# of boys who participated in the Life Skills Training
# of girls who participated in the Life Skills Training
# of services providers knowledgeable of Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act

Examples of Qualitative Indicators

 The BCPC is organized and functional
 Presence of children’s association

24
  The Barangay’s level of support to the CBJIP
 Parent’s awareness of children’s rights

4. Determine your baseline and target. Baseline tells the present condition of the
indicator. For example if your indicator is the “Number of parents (mothers and fathers
are counted separately) who have attended the Parents Effectiveness Service, take note
of those that have already attended your PES on child rights at a particular year. Target
is what you wish to accomplish by the end of the planning period. Sometimes,
barangays do not have data on the present condition or baseline. In this case you may
leave the baseline blank for the moment. The baseline and target will help determine
how many you have reached at the end of the year, as well as inform you whether you
were successful or not.

Examples of baseline and target

Indicator Baseline Target
 Number of parents that have attended 20 80

 Number of girls who participated in the 0 55
Life Skills Training
 Presence of children’s association No organized CA A CA is organized

 The Barangay’s level of support to the Barangay’s support Barangay’s

5. Determine the responsible person/group who will make sure the interventions happen.
This will tell who to praise or blame if the scheduled activities were conducted or not.

6. Accomplish the above process for each of the outcome statements, making one table
per outcome as indicated in the template below and in the example above. This will be

Introduction

The Comprehensive Barangay Juvenile Intervention Programm (CBJIP)

2020-2023 is the Barangay’s response towards the goal of reducing the
number of new cases of children in conflict with the law and
rehabilitating and reintegrating children in conflict with the law with
their families and communities.

The CBJIP is part of the Barangay’s commitment to build an enabling

environment that respects, protects and fulfils the rights of all children.
The Barangay envisions a community that promotes and protects the
rights of children at risk and children in conflict with the law under a
restorative justice and welfare system.

This document is a product of the collective efforts of the Barangay

Project Management Team and the Barangay Council for the Protection
of Children in coordination with the Regional Steering Committee for the
Welfare of Children and the Regional DILG Office.

This will serve as the Barangay’s guide in initiating implementing and

monitoring activities for children in general and for children in conflict
with the law.

 ANNEX 1
CHECKLIST OF STRATEGIES AND INTERVENTIONS FOR CICL AT
THE LGU LEVEL

As a guide for the formulation of results framework, here is the list of strategies and
interventions for Children in Conflict with the Law at the local level, which is derived from
existing initiatives of some local government units.

Strategies are broad action-oriented tactics or maneuvers to achieve certain objectives.

Strategies guide the decision-making process especially in getting technical expertise and
allocating resources. Intervention refers to a series of activities which are designed to
address issues that cause children to commit an offense. It may take the form of
individualized treatment such as counselling, skills training, alternative learning, education,
rehabilitation or reintegration to family.

Some of the key strategies in development programs are:

Advocacy - is a strategy which aims to influence decisions within political, economic, and
social systems and institutions of government at different levels or of any institution for that
matter. Done usually by a group of “advocates”, it includes many activities such as
conducting research, issuing press releases, organizing press conferences, media campaigns,
and public speaking, or lobbying with legislators or policy makers.

Awareness-raising - is a process of providing information to individuals, groups or

communities designed to increase the level of knowledge of the target on specific topics of
interest usually associated with behavioural change or adoption of new desirable practices
such as breastfeeding, proper nutrition, and hand washing.

Capacity Building - is the process of equipping individuals or groups with the knowledge,
information, skills, and attitudes that enable them to perform specific tasks effectively and
efficiently towards the attainment of specific objectives or desired results. Much more than
training, capacity building can be done through coaching, mentoring, on the job training,
apprenticeship, field exposure, exchange visits, reading, online studies, etc.

Children Engagement or Child Participation - refers to children taking part in a process or

playing a role in a process at their level in accordance to their evolving capacities - children
thinking for themselves, children expressing their views effectively, and children acting in a
positive way with other people, among others. It also refers to involving children in

36
decision-making on matters which affect their lives, the lives of the community and the
larger society in which they live.

Community Organizing/Mobilization – is a strategy to promote genuine people’s

participation in development where community residents serve as beneficiaries and
partners at the same time. Here, people are enabled to make decisions in identifying and
prioritizing community problems, in developing program designs, in planning
implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and in sharing the benefits of development.

Strengthening governance and accountability – refers to a body of interventions designed

to improve organizational performance particularly in terms of delivering basic services to
intended community beneficiaries in an effective, efficient, sustainable, and impactful way.

Evidence generation – is a general strategy that includes, research, study, evaluation,

monitoring and evaluation meant to generate and analyze robust evidence (data) in a
systematic and regular way as basis for policy development, programming, and planning.

Inter-agency coordination – is a strategy that allows agencies, stakeholders, and partners to

collectively address common problems and cross-cutting issues in a coherent, assertive and
transformative manner. By doing so, wastage and duplication of precious resources are
avoided and a greater and more comprehensive impact on the community is created.

Some of the current interventions are:

Juvenile Justice and Welfare System - refers to a system of dealing with children in conflict
with the law which provides child-appropriate proceedings, including programs and services
for prevention, diversion, rehabilitation and reintegration to family and after care services to
ensure their normal growth and development.

Strengthening the Local Council for the Protection of Children – is a set of interventions
that aims to establish and strengthen LCPCs (Local Council for the Protection of Children), or
inter-agency and multi-sectoral institutional mechanisms in all levels of local government
units (LGUs) that serve as child rights advocates and take charge of planning, implementing
and monitoring local development plans designed to ensure the protection and safety of the
children in the locality.

Case Management - a method of providing services whereby a professional social worker

assesses the needs of the client and the client’s family, when appropriate, and arranges,
coordinates, monitors, evaluates and advocates for a package of multiple services to meet
the specific client’s complex needs.

37
Diversion - refers to an alternative, child-appropriate process of determining the
responsibility and treatment of a child in conflict with the law on the basis of his/her social,
cultural, economic, psychological and educational background without resorting to formal
court proceedings.

Life Skills Education - is a method used for children and young people to promote personal
and social development, to build their capacity to make decisions in a day to day life, to
prevent health or social problems from occurring, and to protect themselves from possible
abuse, violence or injury.

Integration in the Local Development Plan – LDP is a document that contains the
deliberate, rational and continuous effort of the local government unit, with active
participation of the community, to accelerate its process of development and growth by
optimizing use of local resources. It is directed towards making public services, public
spaces, and infrastructures available to the constituency.

Integration in the Local Investment Program – LIP is a planning tool used in implementing
the comprehensive local development plan. It is a multi-layer listing of programs and
projects with cost estimates and sources of funds.

Parenting - is the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social,
financial, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood. Also referred to
as child rearing, parenting refers to the aspects of raising a child, and all the responsibilities
and activities involved in it.

Partnership - is the process of building coordination, cooperation or collaboration with

other agencies, institutions, communities, groups of people, or certain individuals with the
aim of working together and joining forces, or combining resources towards a common goal.

Rehabilitation - the process of rectifying or modifying a child’s negative attitude and

behaviour. It enables the child to change his negative behaviour into something positive and
acceptable to the community.

Reintegration - the process that promotes or facilitates the acceptance of the child back to
the community. It is the healing of the victim’s and the community’s wounds that were
inflicted on them by the offense.

Restorative Justice - a process through parties with a stake in an offence jointly resolve the
aftermath and implications of an offense. It’s criminal justice system that focuses on the
rehabilitation of offenders through reconciliation with victims and the community at large.

38
Hiring of LGU Social Worker - refers to a professional who is duly licensed/registered to
practice social work in the Philippines in accordance with RA 4373.

Some of the priority outputs for LGUs are:

 Evidence-based and results-informed programming and planning (CLJIP)
 Public Finance Management (use of 1% of IRA for LCPC)
 Strengthening of LCPC, BCPC, and PCBC including mentoring initiatives
 Family-focused and Community-Based Interventions (Family-strengthening
Programs, Diversion, Life Skills, after care services)
 Information Management (Increased utility of CAR and CICL registry)
 Review of children’s code and other related ordinances
 Use of CAR and CICL Registry

ANNEX 2
FINANCING AND BUDGETING FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE LOCAL
JUVENILE INTERNVETION PROGRAM

A number of studies on local programs and investments for children in the Philippines seem
to concur that financing program interventions particularly for children in conflict with the
law remains to be a huge challenge.

A study commissioned by JJWC entitled Local Interventions and Public Investments for CICL
in the Philippines revealed that “after more than 10 years since the enactment of RA 9344, it
appears that a lot of work still need to be done at the local level.” For one, the study noted
that the local government units need to be reminded of their accountability to use the 1%
allocation of Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) for the Local Council for the Protection of
Children (LCPC) as provided for in Section 15 of RA 9344 or the Juvenile Justice and Welfare
Act (JJWA) and of DILG Memorandum Circular 2012-120 on the same subject.

The study urged the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) to develop
and implement a national strategy to revitalize Municipal/City CPCs and Barangay CPCs with
an appeal to re-issue DILG MCs 2002-121 and 2005-7 and DILG MC 2012-120 to guide LCPCs
in using the “Allocation of One Per Cent IRA for the strengthening and implementation of
the Programs, Projects, and Activities of the LCPC per Section 15 of RA 9344.”

40
LGUs are encouraged to increase allocation for LCPCs beyond the one percent requirement
of the law to ensure that all plans for children are provided with funds and are
implemented.

The study recommended an active engagement of and advocacy with Local Chief Executives
and the members of the Local Development Councils who are mandated to formulate the
medium term and annual investment programs (LDIP and AIP) and to appraise and prioritize
socioeconomic development programs and projects.

In one workshop with UNICEF-supported LGUs on the Development of Situational Analysis

and Formulation of Comprehensive Local Juvenile Intervention Program, Social Watch
Philippines asserted that it was important to emphasize the need to discuss public financial
management for children because their rights are not being fully addressed. One of the
main reasons cited was the existence of thematic laws mandating the allocation of certain
percentage of LGUs’ Internal Revenue Allotment for their respective implementation of
intervention programs. JJWA requires only 1 per cent of the Local IRA compared with other
mandatory provisions requiring 5 to 20 per cent.

Some of these mandatory provisions may be tapped to support child-friendly programs,

projects, and activities. Some of them in fact are complementary such as the school feeding
programs linked with local farmer-producers, water supply (Clean/Potable), street lights,
and farm to market roads.

Meanwhile, some of the LCPC activities may also be charged against the 20-percent
development fund of the LGUs as provided for in Section 287 of the Local Government
Code, particularly in the realization of the goals for social development of the community.

Here are some of the possible sources of fund for the CICL work and financial, according to
the Social Watch Philippines:

THE SPECIAL EDUCATION FUND (SEF)

 From proceeds of the one-percent tax on the assessed value of real property in
addition to the basic real tax
 Funds automatically released to Local School Boards (LSBs)
o Equally divided between the province and municipalities
o City gets to keep the entire 1%

ALLOWABLE EXPENSES CHARGEABLE AGAINST THE SEF: WHAT IS NEW?

Because of new law on Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCD):

41
  Direct services related to the implementation of the ECCD program, such as
salaries/allowances of locally hired Child Development Teachers and/or Day Care
Workers, etc.
 Organization and support of parent cooperatives to establish community-based
ECCD programs; counterpart funds for the continuing professional development of
ECCD public service providers; provision of facilities for the conduct of the ECCD
Program; and
 Expenses such as utilities (i.e. electricity and water expenses) and communication
(i.e. telephone expenses)
 National Child Development Centers.

LEGAL BASIS OF LOCAL TAXATION

 1987 Philippine Constitution, Article X, Section 5

 Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160) Section 129. Power to Create Sources of
Revenue.

LOCAL TAXING AUTHORITY

Not just one time
 Adjustment of tax rates allowed once every five (5) years, but in no case shall such
adjustment exceed ten percent (10%) (Sec. 191, RA 7160)
 General revision of assessments and property classification, including improvements
thereon (Sec. 219, RA 7160)

LGU CAPABILITY BUILDING/ 1-DAY TRAINING

Cost for food and workshop materials

• At the barangay level: Cost per Barangay or cluster of barangays
 Estimated at 25 participants

 500/per person for food (am & pm snacks and lunch) x 25 persons = Php 12,500

 50 pesos for workshop materials

 Total of 12,550/quarter x 4 quarters = Php 50,200

INFORMATION DISSEMINATION, ADVOCACY AND SOCIAL MOBILIZATION FOR PUBLIC

SUPPORT AND ACTION FOR PARENTING PROGRAMME AND POSITIVE DISCIPLINE: LGU
LEVEL & COSTS

On the average this can target a total of 1000 persons/year per municipality or city with cost
of snacks at Php50 per person, equivalent to Php50,000. The cost can range from as low as a
few thousand in 5th-6th class municipalities to 50,000 to a few millions for large and highly
urbanized municipalities and cities.

44
Average Cost: PhP 1,000 persons x 50/snack = Php 50,000/Municipality or City
Why 1,000? –> this can be the minimum target of 25 participants each in 10 Barangays or
clusters of Barangays done every quarter or 4x a year 25 x 10 x 4= Php 1000.
