𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 | In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act (RA 9344, as amended by RA 10630), with the theme “𝑲𝒂𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒖𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒏, 𝑲𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒂, 𝒂𝒕 𝑲𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒏𝒈 𝑷𝒂𝒈-𝒂𝒔𝒂,” RJJWC VI conducted a Media Forum last May 28, 2026, at the Regional Rehabilitation Center for Youth (RRCY) in Guimaras.

The activity gathered representatives from the PIA VI, DOJ VI, CHR VI, PAO, Liga ng mga Barangay, WCPD-PNP, and media partners across the region. The participating agencies provided insights on juvenile justice and child protection issues and responding to questions raised by media practitioners during the open forum.

During the forum, discussions focused on the Guide for Media Practitioners, the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act (RA 9344, as amended by RA 10630), RJJWC VI milestones and accomplishments, and the Statistical Report on Children at Risk (CAR) and Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL) from 2024 to 2026. Participants also expressed their support for the continued implementation of juvenile justice and child protection programs in the region.

As part of the activity, the DSWD Field Office VI also conducted a Media Pasasalamat to recognize and thank media partners for their continued partnership and support. Through responsible reporting and sustained collaboration, media practitioners have played a vital role in raising public awareness and advancing initiatives that uphold the welfare, protection, and development of children, families, and other vulnerable sectors./nbc

What does a healthy future look like for our youth? It starts with the air they breathe and the healthy habits they build today. National No-Smoking Month reminds us that protecting children from substance use is a shared responsibility that shapes their tomorrow.

At the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council, we believe that every child deserves a supportive environment free from harmful vices. By steering them away from smoking, we are not just protecting their health but also guiding them toward a safer and more meaningful path in life.

Taking care of our health starts with the air we breathe every single day. Giving your body the fresh air it deserves is a simple but life-changing choice. At JJWC, we believe that protecting the health of our children starts with the choices we make today.
Give your body the fresh air it deserves and lead the way toward a healthier lifestyle. A clean environment helps our children grow and reach their potential.
