I. INTRODUCTION

The society is a conglomeration of different unique individuals that is living as one in a

community with different personalities. This is why sometimes offenses are committed by children
and old alike. These offenses hold no bar as evil in the eyes of people and the children. Hence
restorative justice holds the offender accountable for the harm caused by the offense committed.
This is why one particular purpose of this restorative justice program is to repair the shattered
relationship with the possible participation of the victim and the community to purposely help the
child in conflict with the law becomes a better person. It gives emphasis the reparation of damage
and conflict resolution rather than punishment or imprisonment. It focuses on a child-appropriate
process of determining the responsibility and treatment with special consideration of his/her needs
without resorting to formal court proceedings.

It is imperative to note that diversion and intervention program is a therapeutic adjunct to

the principle of restorative justice. The program would also prevent destructive labeling. The
practice serves to hinder the negative effects of subsequent proceedings in the juvenile
administration of conviction.

The principle remains that children in conflict with the law are victims of circumstances
beyond their control and should not be treated as criminals, but as individuals with problems from
the parents, environment and time.

Restorative justice is designed to address the issue on children’s stigma being jailed before
the approval of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act of 2006. Cases vary from simple to heinous
crime. But the question is, how ready is the rehabilitation team particularly Municipal and
Barangay Council for the Protection of Children, to address these problems on child delinquency?
Or better yet are they aware of their roles and responsibilities?

In working with the children always ensures that their rights are respected and their best
welfare given paramount consideration. This applies even to children-in-conflict with the law
(CICL) and children-at-risk (CAR) especially because it looks at them not as offenders and less-
privileged but as individuals who need special protection and assistance. Restorative justice applies
as guiding principles in working with the children in conflict with the law (cicl) and children at-
risk (CAR) of Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental

To apply the principle of restorative justice, Sec. 22.b of Republic Act 9344 or the Juvenile
Justice and Welfare Act of 2006 mandates the conduct of diversion in the case of a CICL above
15 but below 18 years old and was assessed to have acted with discernment. CICL and CAR have
rights which must be respected. According to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
(CRC):“States Parties recognize the right of every child alleged as, accused of, or recognized as
having infringed the penal law to be treated in a manner consistent with the promotion of the
child’s sense of dignity and worth, which reinforces the child’s respect for the human rights and
fundamental freedoms of other and which takes into account the child’s age and the desirability
of promoting the child’s reintegration and the child’s assuming a constructive role in society”
(Article 40.1)The CRC emphasizes that children should be diverted away from judicial
proceedings whenever possible and redirected to community support services. (Article 37).

Every single individual today is affected by juvenile delinquency. It affects parents,

neighborhood in the barangay, teachers and students at school, and families. It affects the victims
of juvenile delinquencies, the perpetrators, and the bystanders. While delinquency rates in Naga
City can be assumed to have been decreasing, rates are still too high. There have been numerous
programs that have attempted to lower this rate. According to the research made by Zagar & Busch,
“a number of different types of programs currently exist. Those that get involved with the
delinquent after the occurrence of deviant behavior tend to be less successful, since by that point
antisocial habits are well developed. More effective programs are ones that intervene before the
onset of delinquent behavior and prevent that behavior – prevention programs. By getting involved
in children’s lives early, later crime can be effectively reduced.”
Republic Act 9344 otherwise known as the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act of 2006,as
amended by Republic Act 10630 otherwise known as the Act Strengthening the Juvenile Justice
System in the Philippines, provides for the Local Government Units development of a
Comprehensive Juvenile Intervention Program to address the concerns of the Children-At-
Risk(CAR) as well as the Children-In-Conflict with the Law (CICL).
 The law mandates that Each barangay, municipality, and city shall appropriate, in its annual
budget, one percent (1%) of its annual internal revenue allotment (IRA) for the strengthening and
implementation of the programs of the Local Council for the Protection of Children (LCPC).

Cognizant to this, the Municipal Government of Tagoloan through the Office of the
Municipal Council for the Protection of Children in coordination with Inter-Agency Task Force
crafted constructive and program and a code that champion the rights of CICL, CAR and victims
of abuse as well. These range from regulatory ordinances to policies that promote rights of children
of the municipality.

These are the following ordinance and code:

V. LOCAL REFERRAL NETWORK AND COORDINATION MECHANISMS

Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental has virtuous referral mechanism (BCPC, MSWDO, PNP and
to the courts) which readily responds to concerns of CICLs/CARs. The steady flow of referral
system makes the processing of cases fast and efficient. This in turn makes the chance of
settlement between offender and victim lessen in number.

If the CAR/CICL is under the custody of the MSWDO, their basic needs are met: food,
clothing and shelter through the temporary shelter for CAR/CICL. However, the center only caters
basic needs and does not offer rehabilitation program having lack of human resources like
houseparents, psychologist and social worker. Hence, children needing medical and dental
attention shall be referred at the Municipal Health Office. The PNP will then refer the child to the
MSWD office for disserment assessment of children 15 years old and above but below 18 years
old and intervention program below 15 years old.

Cases with an imposable penalty of below 6 years shall be refered to Barangay Social
Welfare and Development Volunteer (BSWDV) during Saturdays and Sundays.

The presence of BSWDV in the barangays helps improve response time. As a result, both
children at-risk/children in conflict with the law (CAR/CICL) and children in need of special
protection (CNSP) are easily attended to at the community level. Awareness on the status of CICL
in the community level is also heightened with the use of accurate data collection.

Close coordination in the conduct of diversion proceedings shall be attended by all

members of the Municipal Diversion Committee through a Municipal/Barangay Executive Order.

Discrepancies between data may take place, which can lead to bloated figures, if data
collection is left unchecked or not validated by concerned MPDO personnel. To address this, the
municipality should conduct assemblies or fora on child’s protection to clarify roles of different
agencies in the maintenance of effective referral system, thereby doing away from bureaucracy
and red tape.

Moreover, more effective IEC on children’s rights should be institutionalized to enhance

community awareness on child protection and development. This should be coupled with
education/values formation trainings.

VI. MONITORING AND EVALUATION

Local Juvenile Justice Information System will allow the municipal government to
regularly update the local profile of Children-in-Conflict with the Law (CICL) and Children-at-
Risk (CAR). A design for a Comprehensive Juvenile Justice Intervention Program containing
programs and strategies that is relevant and responsive to the diverse needs of CICL and CAR
population. And the program design should be aligned with the Comprehensive National Juvenile
Program Framework as developed by JJWC. The program will be in manual form and will be
submitted to the Sangguniang Bayan for adoption and to the Municipal Council for the Protection
of Children for implementation.

Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is a very important and often overlooked component of
Public Sector Management (PSM), especially among Philippine local governments. It involves the
systematic collection and analysis of information about events associated with the implementation
of development programs and projects. It also provides the framework for improving or facilitating
project implementation.

The Local Project Monitoring Committee as the monitoring arm is mandated to monitor
all development projects (economic, social, infrastructure and other development projects) of the
municipal. The Results Based Matrix will be used as a tool for reporting and monitoring of the
progress of CICL/CAR. (This is to be identified by LCPC)

SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
I. Introduction

This document captures the efforts of the Municipal Government of Tagoloan, Misamis
Oriental and its fellow stakeholders of a child-friendly municipality to put in place a system that
values and promotes restorative justice for children in conflict with the law.

Technical assistance from the Juvenile Justice Welfare Council provided the impetus to bring these
institutions and agencies together in a series of workshops that gathered data on the children of
Tagoloan, analyzed them from the lens of restorative justice, and using SWOT analysis identified
key sectoral interventions aimed at enhancing Tagoloan’s status as an urban community that
genuinely looks after the young, especially those in challenging and difficult circumstances.

The following workshops/activities served as key milestones for its development:

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The name TAGOLOAN was envisage through the priest’s curiosity and interest to seek the
primary source of a river that enormous destruction to life, animals, and properties when flood
arises. It was told that after a week of climbing hills and mountains on foot and is carried by horse,
he, finally, discover the source of the river. It was a wellspring concealed under a huge rock, so
hidden that it’s almost barely discernible. The priest called it TAGO-OLOHAN, which mean
“CONCEALED SOURCE”, from “TAGO” (concealed), and “OLOHAN” source. Later, it was
changed into the later name due to the difficulty of pronoun ncing the word especially by the
Spaniards.
 Another version of the story also says that it originated from a Moslem word “TAGO” which
means “a place” and “OLOHAN” which mean “head” or “chief”. By this, TAGOLOAN literally
stands for “A place of the Chief”.
Though whatever legend TAGOLOAN may have gotten its definition, at present, it has a
moniker as the “HOME OF THE TIGERS”, “TARANTULA”, and “MANOK”. This was
conceived owing to the committed and dynamic leadership of the present Chief Executive and
together with the disciplines people living in the municipality.

III. Analysis

Local Government Unit

1. CICL PPA’s need to be prioritized for implementation.

2. Walay ngipon ang Childrens Code to be implemented and CLJIP will be taken for granted
just like other ordinances and plans. (Compliance purposes only)

Descriptive Profile of CAR /CICL

Opportunities identified are:

(1) strong support from some barangays and other reporting units;
(2) strong support in designating responsible person for trainings but no action taken after
presentation;
(3) presence of trained personnel to handle CICL but not enough to handle increasing number of
cases;
(4) education of parents/effective parenting not enough ratio of personnel
(5) Education for all and should not be selective/ student handbook polished by stakeholders
(6) Facilities has never been prioritized for CICL/CAR/VAWC/CNSP

IV. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

The Local Government Unity of Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental has limited budget allocation
and support for CICL programs and projects. Therefore there is need to increase budget
appropriation in order to attain the plan goals. The appropriation shall include project, activities
and human resource.

There is a strong collaboration between service providers from barangay to municipal level.
However a need to conduct trainings to personnel with regard to proper handling of children hence
not all duty bearers are properly trained examples are Barangay Auxiliaries who may be requiring
technical background on child laws and ordinances.

To counter the compartmentalized municipal hall departments and weak flow of

information across departments/offices and among municipal hall and partner agencies, periodic
sharing among municipal government departments/partner CSOs about their programs and
initiatives may be conducted.

The city government may be rich with programs and projects that champion the rights of
the child and CICL/CARs but a stronger monitoring and evaluation mechanism is needed to ensure
effectivity, efficiency and sustainability. This may be solved by conducting monitoring and
evaluation of children-related PPAs of the municipal government and its partner agencies.

Stronger program implementation may be realized by ensuring proper coordination between

parents and authorities. The parents may be further organized into groups to highlight their
participation in municipal programs and projects.

With regard to community mechanisms, linkages among duty bearers and stakeholders
may be strengthened by effective communication systems. With regular exchange of information,
services may be easily rendered.

Constant monitoring and follow-up of the case with administrative penalties or sanctions
may be observed to pressure duty bearers in delivering their mandates.
 On Facilities, a Youth Detention Center – Bahay Pag-asa is needed to be established to
provide a center-based rehabilitation program. Center shall be equipped complete facilities and
manpower.

On Community Mechanism, a Child Protection Data Collection and Management System

should be established to maintain a database of CICL & CAR

On Community Structures, BCPC may become more functional by: (1) soliciting
commitment from members; (2) provision of incentives to members; (3) rotational venue of
meetings; (4) capability building; (5) re-orientation of BCPC functions and institutionalize annual
search for child-friendly barangay

On the municipal level, LCPC membership and attendance may be further enhanced
through (1) soliciting commitment from members; (2) maintenance of political neutrality; (2)
provision of incentives; (3) reorientation of LCPC functions.
