Gwen Garcia, the Law of Senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan, also known as (Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act of 2006, or Republic Act 344) has actually given crime syndicates an opportunity to abuse children.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <!-- adsense --></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-size: large;">“We passed this law purportedly to protect our youth or our children. But, ako, I saw this mismo when I was a Governor of Cebu, my own personal experience. Instead of protecting children, this opened the floodgates for criminal syndicates and even criminal minded parents. Na gagamitin yung mga bata to commit crimes,” Garcia said.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">Under the law, the young criminals aged 15 and below are exempted from imprisonment or other punishment.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">“Palagi nang reklamo ng mga law enforcement agencies like the Philippine National Police, sasabihin nila, ang hirap. Kunwari may robbery doon, we really catch this 13 year old, eh haharapin pa raw sila. Magdadala ng birth certificate, ipapakita yung birth certificate nila,” Garcia stressed.</span><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">“I repeat if at present, as it stands, the law which sought or purportedly was intended to protect children now have actually opened up children to abuse by criminal syndicates. And we need to correct that,” she added.</span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: #999999; font-size: x-small;">source</span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">: <a href="http://www.publictrending.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cccccc;">Public Trending</span></a></span></div> </p>
