CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 History and Background of the Study

The Manila Youth Reception Center is a 990 square-meter, rectangular two storey

building as temporary detention center for children in conflict with the law, located in Lion's Rd,

659-A Ermita, Manila, 1000 Metro Manila. It was constructed in 1962 as a project of the

juvenile control bureau, through the support of city Mayor Arcenio H. Lacson.

In 2006, the Philippine Congress passed into law and the act entitled “An Act Strengthening the

Juvenile Justice System in the Philippines, Amending for the purpose Republic Act No. 9344,

Otherwise Known as the ‘Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act of 2006’” or Republic Act 10630. It

is the most comprehensive law passed by the Philippine Congress dealing with the rights and

protection of children. In particular, the law shall cover the different stages involving children at

risk and children in conflict with the law from prevention to rehabilitation.

A multi-disciplinary team composed of a social worker, a psychologist/mental health

professional, a medical doctor, an educational guidance counselor and a Baranggay Council for

the Protection of Children (BCPC) member shall operate the 'Bahay Pag-asa'. The team will

work on the individualized intervention plan with the child and the child's family.
A government-run center for children in conflict with the law (CICL), or those who are

alleged, accused or adjudged as having committed an offense under Philippine laws.

Each highly urbanized city is required to have a BPA by Republic Act No. 9344, or the Juvenile

Justice and Welfare Act, enacted a decade ago and amended by Republic Act No. 10630 in 2013.

The law spares CICL from being put in prison and refers them instead to a BPA, designed to care

for children in need of rehabilitation or whose court cases are still pending. Under the guidelines

adopted in 2015 by the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council (JJWC), BPAs must help children

“appreciate their worth and rebuild their lives.
