When Kiel, not his real name, was brought to Urdaneta Bahay Pag-asa (BPA), he had no idea what he wanted for his future. Today, Kiel is a 4th-year Bible school student who dreams of becoming a pastor and helping others who have faced struggles like his.

His story shows how rehabilitation and Urdaneta Bahay Pag-asa’s (BPA) Bridging Program give children in conflict with the law (CICL) opportunities through continued support through education, livelihood, financial aid, and employment opportunities as they reintegrate into the community.

Confidence in a child does not come from nowhere. It comes from someone patient enough to show the way first, as Confucius reminds us.

This is the quiet work behind child protection and juvenile justice: walking beside a child long enough that they learn to walk on their own.

JFK's words still ring true decades later: children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future.

It's this same principle that drives the push for stronger child protection, restorative justice, and programs that give every child a real shot at a better life.

JJWC, PARTNERS BRING LEGAL AID TO RRCY III, PROMOTE RESTORATIVE JUSTICE

“Ang pagkakaroon ng access sa legal assistance ay hindi lamang tungkol sa pagkakaroon ng abogado. Sa puso ng lahat ng ito ay ang prinsipyo ng restorative justice. Sa restorative justice, kinikilala natin ang CICL hindi lamang batay sa pagkakamaling maaaring nagawa niya, kundi bilang isang bata na may karapatang mabigyan ng pagkakataong matuto, magbago, makabangon, at muling makapagsimula”, Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council (JJWC) Executive Director Atty. Tricia Clare A. Oco said.

This was emphasized by Atty. Oco during the Legal Assistance Program in Regional Rehabilitation Center for Youth (RRCY) Region III in Magalang, Pampanga on September 25, 2026.

The activity marked the second leg of the Legal Assistance Program, providing free legal assistance to RRCY children-residents and staff through provision of legal consultation, preparation of legal documents, paralegal services, and other legal services that the team could accommodate.
