Every child deserves more than hope. Every child deserves opportunities backed by sound policies and meaningful action.

At the Southeast Asia Regional Conference on Child Poverty: From Measurement to Policy and Action, Undersecretary Adonis P. Sulit emphasized that addressing child poverty is a shared responsibility that requires stronger policies, sustained collaboration, and concrete action.

Co-organized by UNICEF and the Department of Economy, Planning, and Development (DEPDev), the Conference brought together government leaders, researchers, development partners, and social policy practitioners from across Southeast Asia. The discussions focused on sharing good practices and identifying practical solutions to reduce child poverty in all its dimensions.

As the Philippines continues to champion a people-centered ASEAN, the Department of Social Welfare and Development, under the leadership of Secretary Rex Gatchalian, remains committed to advancing social protection and promoting policies that help every child grow in a safe and nurturing environment.
