Diokno, there is one dream that we all Filipino share: that our children may have a better life than we have had. To make this country, our country, a nation for our children.

Parents are busy with their jobs, so they are having a hard time taking care of their children, because of the absence of their parents, their children find their happiness and care from the people who are surrounded. Eventually, some people whom they are together with are the people that bring them to danger, they were being used to do the things that are against the law. The generation today was way too far from what yesterday had because in this generation teenagers are more engage in pre-marital sex so they lack the knowledge of how they could raise their newborn children. So, when the children grow older, they are lacking with the knowledge also on how they could deal with society. In that part of their life, they more likely to engage and involve different kinds of bad habits, worse things when it becomes crime and hard for them to escape.

As I observed nowadays, children tend to do it because of peer pressure. So, most of them are encouraged to do several things that could put them in crime. Also, when I’ve watch television there are much news about a crime that many children are involved. Many articles also posted on the internet, that this bill should be accepted as law, even though the criminality rate was not yet surpassed unlike other crime that the Philippines was dealing with, we should take action of it because the safety of the children in our country was involved here. We should have a fast action of it before it blow-up and hard to solve because every small wound will grow big if it doesn’t be healed. There was a statistic that in the year 2018 the criminality rate of the children ages nine to eleven years old was decreased by fifty-two percent. But it wouldn’t say that we should stop proposing this bill because of the lower the crime rate of the children. We should always care for their safety because there are many people would want to abuse them. The most presenting crime that minors do was theft, it was recorded that there 6,535 of it. This can say that the problem of our country in the economic was increasing. Even children can also do this kind of crime. I can say that because of our economic status children couldn’t deal with it and think of a way that even their life could put in danger. This problem should be first to be solved because it was the most pressing issue and the start of many crimes here in the Philippines.
