Pahayag ni CHR Spokesperson, Atty Jacqueline Ann de Guia, sa pagpirma sa Implementing Rules and Regulations on Laws on National Feeding Program and Child Adoption

The Commission on Human Rights lauds and supports the recent signing of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRRs) of two legislations that promote child rights and welfare— Republic Act No. 11037 or the Masustansyang Pagkain Para sa Batang Pilipino Act that institutionalises the national feeding program for undernourished children nationwide, and Republic Act 11222 or the Simulated Birth Rectification Act that allows parents and guardians to correct simulated birth records of their children through administrative proceedings.

The recent development in addressing undernourishment of Filipino children is a step towards helping our youth become healthier individuals while enabling them to perform better in schools. Good nutrition lays the foundation for children to reach their full potentials and be productive members of society.

Meanwhile, the measure that aims to improve the system of adoption in the country will grant amnesty and allow rectification for simulated births, and will give way to a less costly and faster process of giving permanent homes to Filipino children who are legally available for adoption.

Both laws respond to the Philippine Government’s obligation to the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) specifically with Article 21 stating that “the best interests of the child shall be the paramount consideration” in countries where system of adoption is allowed. On the other hand, Article 24 of the CRC mandates State Parties to “ensure that no child is deprived of his or her right of access to such health care services… through the provision of adequate nutritious foods and clean drinking water (Art. 24, c).”

With the IRRs now in place, the Commission hopes for the smooth implementation of the laws, particularly the school-based feeding program as it is already included in the 2020 budget of both the Department of Education and Department of Social Welfare and Development.

The Commission continues to lobby for similar legislations that guarantees the safeguarding and promotion of the rights of the child, while taking into account their specific needs and vulnerabilities. Interventions must always be in compliance with the framework that highlights the principles of non-discrimination; best interest of child; and their right to life, survival development and protection. ###

Pahayag ni CHR Spokesperson, Atty Jacqueline Ann de Guia, nga nagdayeg sa mga paningkamot sa DSWD nga mahatagan ug livelihood support ang kababayen-an taliwala sa pandemya.

Samtang ang kadaghanan sa mga paningkamot nga gihimo sa gobyerno naka-focus sa paghupay sa pandemya, ang responsibilidad sa paghatag suporta alang sa mga kabus nagpabilin. Kini ilabinang tinuod tungod kay ang pandemya direktang nakaapekto sa trabaho sa daghang mga Pilipino.
