00:00In 2025, in Season 2 of Action Against Poverty by the National Anti-Poverty Commission or NAPC,

00:06we will be with you every Tuesday and Thursday on RSP,

00:09the various agencies and local governments

00:12to talk about the government's interventions in tackling poverty.

00:16In the first part of NAPC and PTV,

00:19let's learn together about the Action Against Poverty.

00:31In our new season, we will focus on convergence,

00:34the joining of programs and stakeholders

00:37in the continuation of our community and family.

00:40And in that, we will talk now in our program,

00:44Undersecretary Angelo Tapalas of the Council for the Welfare of Children

00:48to talk about how the government's henchmen and partners

00:52are working together for the well-being of children in situations in our country.

00:57Usec Tapalas, good morning to you. This is Diane Ferrer.

01:02Hello, good morning to all of us.

01:06Good morning, Usec Tapalas.

01:09Usec, can you explain how the government is portraying children in street situations?

01:16What does this mean?

01:19Ma'am, the signal is a bit far from me,

01:22but I can hear and I can understand.

01:25So children in street situations, just for the understanding of everybody,

01:29based on the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child,

01:33General Comment No. 21,

01:35first, this is no longer called street children.

01:38What you call children in street situations is correct.

01:41These are children who are dependent or who live or work alone

01:48or with their families here on the street.

01:52These children may also have a strong connection to the streets

01:56where their everyday life takes place.

02:00These are not necessarily homeless people who can work, do business,

02:05and play on the streets.

02:07So in not so many words, this is what we call children in street situations.

02:11Usec, how many children in street situations are there in the Philippines?

02:19Hello, ma'am. Hello.

02:21Usec, do we have a number of children in street situations in our country?

02:28Yes. In terms of numbers, ma'am, that is our difficulty now.

02:33We don't have exact numbers, but based on UNICEF studies,

02:38they say that there are around 250,000 children

02:44spread over our metropolitan areas like the NCR, Metro Cebu,

02:50up to Davao in Mindanao.

02:52So that is just an estimate.

02:54But the good thing is that the DSWD pursuant to the EO52

02:59or the ABOT program initiated by our President last January 2024,

03:04they are already profiling.

03:07That is what the DSWD is doing

03:10so that we can have a strong and credible number.

03:15Since the implementation of the EO52 last year,

03:19the DSWD has already profiled 9,782

03:24including the family here.

03:27In terms of children in street situations,

03:30they have already reached out to the 4,618 CISS

03:36starting last year.

03:38Alright, Usec, what are the main problems or issues

03:42that these children face every day?

03:45Ma'am, usually, of course, poverty.

03:51They don't have a clear livelihood or income.

03:58Aside from poverty, of course, when a child is on the street,

04:01they cannot go to school.

04:03Then, of course, they are also subject to exploitation

04:06and are exposed to dangers.

04:09Just like what was reported last month,

04:13the Sampaguita vendor, although it ended up not being a minor,

04:17but it reflects what is happening to our CISS every day.

04:26That is why the start of the EO52 is a good start

04:30because this is what will resolve this perennial problem.

04:36Because in the Executive Order,

04:39they will be given financial assistance,

04:42transportation and relocation assistance,

04:44and livelihood assistance.

04:46Then, they will return to their point of origin.

04:50But you might ask,

04:51maybe they will just return to Metro Manila.

04:54What Innovation Pursuant to EO52 is doing,

04:57including the LGUs,

04:59they will have capacity buildings for the LGUs,

05:02their point of origin,

05:03so that in the LGUs,

05:05they will have livelihood and income.

05:08They will not return.

05:10That is the intention, Ma'am.

05:12Well, talking about convergence,

05:14you already mentioned some of the interventions,

05:17but who are the government agencies

05:21that are helping to bring this program to the CISS?

05:29Yusek?

05:32Yusek Tapales?

05:33Oh no, there is a minor problem with our signal

05:37with Yusek Angelo Tapales.

05:39But Yusek Angelo Tapales mentioned earlier

05:42that there are interventions...

05:44Yes. Sorry, Ma'am.

05:45Go ahead, sir.

05:47Ma'am, speaking about convergence,

05:49is what I heard right?

05:52Yes, sir. Go ahead.

05:54Convergence is really very important,

05:57because this is a perennial problem,

05:59you will remember,

06:00or you might know, Ma'am.

06:01Did you know that our anti-mendicancy law

06:04was in the 1970s,

06:05during the time of our first President, Marcos?

06:08But the street violence,

06:10the violence with children,

06:12babies,

06:13that really cannot be solved.

06:15Pursuant to the EO52,

06:17an inter-agency committee was created

06:20headed by the DSWD,

06:22because it is really important to help

06:25and nobody is working in silos.

06:27The Council for the Welfare of Children,

06:29we also have a sub-committee

06:31for the Protection and Welfare of CISS,

06:33and we really closely coordinate with the DSWD,

06:37our parent agency,

06:38so we craft the policies,

06:40but the DSWD,

06:42they really do the reach out

06:46and extend the services

06:48pursuant to EO52.

06:50So, convergence is very important, Ma'am.

06:52Okay.

06:53Usec, when it comes to anti-poverty efforts,

06:58with all these interventions and convergence

07:00of different agencies,

07:02are there many CISS

07:05that we have raised their lives,

07:08improved their lives,

07:10solved their problems in poverty

07:13because of these continuous interventions

07:15from different government institutions and LGUs, Sir?

07:18Yes.

07:19I think there are many.

07:21The DSWD reached out 4,618,

07:25and they have received services,

07:28whether in the form of livelihood,

07:30their transportation,

07:33or relocation assistance,

07:35to return to their point of origins.

07:39We will wait, Ma'am,

07:41if this will eventually succeed,

07:44in the sense that will they return to Metro Manila,

07:47or will they continue their livelihood

07:50in the province and studies.

07:52We will wait,

07:53but at least now,

07:54after one year of implementation of EO52,

07:57the DSWD has profiled 9,000 plus,

08:01and reached out to 4,618 CISS.

08:06All right.

08:07When it comes to local government units,

08:10what can different LGUs do,

08:14especially if there are CISS in their area?

08:18Yes.

08:19That's a very good question.

08:20You know, Ma'am,

08:21if LGUs will not participate,

08:23whatever national policies we have,

08:26what the CWC and DSWD are doing,

08:29that's really a good thing.

08:30That's why in EO52,

08:32the DSWD can also provide

08:34capacity building to LGUs

08:36so that they can capacitate

08:38and the CISS will not return to our metropolis.

08:42We at the Council for the Welfare of Children,

08:44lately, we went to Cebu City.

08:47In Cebu City,

08:48under the leadership of Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia,

08:51they have a good CISS program.

08:54Actually, they have a task force here

08:56composed of the LGU and even NGOs.

08:59So, LGUs really focus on the programs

09:03to reduce their CISS.

09:06This is just one example of what LGUs can do

09:09because if the local chief executive

09:11will not really prioritize CISS,

09:13they will really increase

09:15and that's really a pity.

09:17So, that's really a political will

09:19on the part of our local chief executives.

09:22Well, Usec, thank you very much for your time

09:24and for sharing your important insights

09:26on the situation of children in street situations

09:30under Secretary Angelo Tapales.

09:32Thank you very much.

09:35Watch out, okay?

09:37Every Tuesday and Thursday,

09:39the Action Laban sa Kahirapan

09:40to discuss the convergence efforts

09:43of the various government agencies

09:45to open poverty in our country.

09:48We are very grateful for your support

09:51and we will not stop you

09:53here at the Action Laban sa Kahirapan

09:55in Rise and Shine, Philippines.
