Creating child-friendly local communities through local child codes: An analysis of LCCs in selected provinces and cities in the Philippines. Among the children's rights in the studied LCCs, the most emphasized was the promotion of children's survival and development.
Avila (2002) claimed that local authorities in Davao City interviewed key informants, conducted focused group discussions, and organized workshops to prepare a research study that became the basis for drafting their LCC. This may be the reason for the quality of the Davao City LCC and the local government's ability to make immediate changes afterwards.
Almost all LCCs provided for the establishment of facilities for mothers and children, such as reproductive health centers, children's hospitals, foster homes, and monitoring compliance of health facilities as "mother-baby/child friendly." Should local authorities impose a condition on a child's right to a name, given that one of children's survival rights is registration at birth?
While the intent of these programs is laudable,
Finally, the existing practice of celebrating a national Children's Month or designating a local Children's Day to focus attention on children's issues and provide parades and activities that promote children's rights is incorporated into the LCCs in almost all of the surveyed areas. More than half of the LCCs required pool halls and video arcades to obtain a separate permit to operate from the Social Welfare and Development Office to ensure stricter implementation of existing ones.
Several local governments increased

The imposition of curfew on minors still remains a
Some cities in Metro Manila impose detention in police cells for a certain number of hours for violating the curfew on minors. One view is that the imposition of a curfew on minors is not inherently invalid if it is implemented as a measure to promote safety.
Several local governments have increased penalties for violating children's working hours, prohibiting night work and hazardous work and conditions by providing fines and imprisonment in addition to those contained in RA 7 610 and the Dangerous Drugs Act. Under this provision, children under the age of 18 are prohibited from loitering or sleeping in public places from 10:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m., unless accompanied by their parents or guardians.
Proponents argue that minors constitute a vulnerable sector in need of special protection and that imposing curfews is a reasonable means of promoting their safety. The second view is that imposing curfews on minors raises certain constitutional questions and is contrary to the CRC provision on non-discrimination.
More importantly, the non-discrimination
The imposition of curfews, insofar as it restricts the freedom of movement of young people, can be equated with curtailing the child's right to travel. Twelve of the NLCs establish a child and youth relations section in every police station in the province/city to handle cases involving children.
One of the innovative interventions on child
This initiative is useful in the case of local governments in Mindanao, as well as Zambales, which has a significant IP population. Children's participation rights were least promoted by local authorities in the areas surveyed.
The participation rights of children were the
The adoption of local codes for children is important because it signals a stronger political commitment to children's rights; integrates relevant international, national and local laws on children into a single document; and facilitates the implementation of national laws at the local level.
The enactment of local codes for children is
However, a specific reference to RA 6972 can only be found in seven of the sixteen LCCs with daycare/service facilities. This may be due to its recent entry into force regarding the adoption of local codes.
The inability of local governments to localize
The provisions of RA 8425 provide an opportunity for local authorities to focus on child-related indicators in the MBN and minimum basic needs, incorporate child rights indicators in the identification of the poor and. Furthermore, the LCCs are silent on the role of the provincial council or city councils in the promotion of children's rights, especially in the exercise of their supervisory responsibilities over the various offices tasked with implementing the provisions of the Code, and in the review of ordinances that are obsolete, do not promote the UNCRC or contain provisions that conflict with or affect implementation.
States Parties shall take all appropriate legislative, administrative and other measures to implement the rights recognized in this Covenant. The analysis of resource allocation mechanisms in the LCCs becomes important to ensure that problems encountered at national level are not repeated.
There are several LCCs that violate this
Several observations can be made regarding the resource allocation language of the Children's Codes. More funds for Code implementation will be available when a percentage of the annual budget is automatically allocated compared to a percentage of the 20%.
Measuring allocation for children's programs and
Measuring allocation to children's programs and identifying funding gaps is inherently difficult due to estimation issues such as direct and indirect beneficiaries, cross-cutting beneficiaries and multiple sector targets, and dispersion of child-related targets across multiple offices and programs at the local level (De Vera and Cruz, 2002).
Zamboanga del Sur 5% of the gross revenue of the province and 1.5% of each additional fund None from other sources. Santos City Not less than 5% of the annual budget, exclusive of appropriations for the City None Health Office and Special Education Fund.
Perhaps the most innovative, far-reaching,
In this regard, consensus can be reached between legislators who support children's rights or between executive and legislative officials to agree on a set of projects for children that can be the basis for the use of pork barrels.
The Philippines is one of the countries that is gradually adopting a restorative justice framework in dealing with juveniles. This developing trend has been accelerated by the Philippines' efforts to align with international standards from international documents that emphasize the "best interests of the child" and the need for development.

The law also provides for a postponement of the sentence for the child in case of conviction. The law also provides for a suspended sentence for a convicted minor without an application.

In establishing the parameters for the applicability of diversion, local governments may use as a guide the conditions for the availability of diversion set forth in the Supreme Court Rules on Juveniles in Conflict with the Law. Even if there is no statute on the subject, community diversion can be passed through local law.
For example, it cannot be applied where one or both parties are unwilling to undergo diversion, or where serious crimes such as parricide, murder or rape are involved, or where the minor is a habitual delinquent. For example, the problem of the prescription of criminal offenses could be resolved by providing in the law on diversionary maneuvers that as long as the parties undergo a diversionary maneuver or while the applicability of the diversionary maneuver is determined by the competent authorities, the period for the prescription of the criminal offenses will be suspended and restarted if the diversion fails or is found not applicable.
Four of the codes encouraged teachers to undertake ongoing training on child rights. LGU mandates for teaching CRC and training police and teachers on child rights.

Experience with devolution in the four provinces studied suggests that policies designed within a centralized context – such as the day care law – are very difficult to implement in a devolved environment due to problems in finding institutional accountability, lack of resources, ensuring horizontal and vertical coordination. between different agencies and mobilizing support from local authorities. Regulatory policies are particularly difficult to implement at the local level because they make command and control approaches.

The experience of bringing together laws, regulations and programs for children into a single document that emphasizes political support for children's rights, harmonizes provisions of international, national and local laws, localizes national laws on children and promotes better implementation is a major undertaking . that can be achieved by forward-looking and committed local governments in different parts of the country. However, successful codification involves more than simply producing a document that can be used by local governments and communities, and requires an ongoing effort to identify provisions of the Code that do not conform to acceptable grammatical and legal standards, are legally questionable , difficult to implement, or so specific that it fails to produce a child-friendly province or city.
