The Regional Alternative Child Care Office (RACCO) V and the Department of Education (DepEd) Region V DepEd Regional Office No. V held a meaningful meeting on August 12, 2026, to strengthen collaboration in promoting legal adoption, alternative child care, and child-focused programs for learners, teachers, and non-teaching personnel.
The discussion highlighted the importance of raising awareness of Republic Act No. 11222, or the Simulated Birth Rectification Act (SIBRA), children's rights, alternative child care, and the programs and services of RACCO V. It also emphasized bringing these advocacies closer to schools and local communities.
Both agencies agreed to identify key topics, schedules, and platforms where child care advocacy can be integrated, including PTA meetings, INSET, GAD activities, LearnCon, Kaagapay, and other DepEd initiatives.
This collaboration is expected to strengthen child protection advocacy, promote legal adoption and alternative child care, and foster a more child-sensitive school and community environment.๐๐โค๏ธ
