DSWD LEADS IRR SIGNING OF LAWS STRENGTHENING CHILDREN’S WELFARE

Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Secretary Rolando Joselito D. Bautista and representatives of national government agencies and non-government organizations sign the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the “Simulated Birth Rectification Act” and “Masustansiyang Pagkain Para sa Batang Pilipino Act” which prioritize the welfare of the Filipino children. Witnessing the signing are members of the executive and legislative branches of the government, including (standing from left to right) KABAYAN Party List Representative Ron P. Salo, Senator Grace Poe, and La Union Representative Sandra Eriguel.
As part of the government’s efforts to improve the welfare and protection of Filipino children, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) led the ceremonial signing of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act (RA) No. 11222 or the “Simulated Birth Rectification Act” and Republic Act No. 11037 or the “Masustansyang Pagkain Para sa Batang Pilipino Act” on October 7, 2019 at the DSWD Central Office in Quezon City.

Other national government agencies (NGAs) and non-government organizations (NGOs) which took part in the crafting of the IRRs also signed the documents. These are Department of Education (DepEd), Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), Department of Justice (DOJ), Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC), Association of Child Caring Agencies of the Philippines (ACCAP), Child Rights Network (CRN), and Philippine Association of Civil Registrars (PACR).

The activity was also attended by Senator Grace Poe and La Union 2nd District Representative Sandra Eriguel who both delivered messages on behalf of the legislative branch of the government. 

Amnesty

On February 21, 2019, President Rodrigo R. Duterte signed RA No. 11222 which stipulates that a person who committed birth simulation will be given amnesty if proven that the act was made “for the best interest of the child, and that such child has been consistently considered and treated by the person or persons who simulated such birth as her, his, or their own daughter or son.”

This will encourage those who, in the best interest of a child, resorted to simulation of birth, to come out without threat of prosecution and to provide a process by which they may not only rectify the simulated birth record but also legalize the existing parent-child relationship between them.

This is only applicable to cases of birth simulation committed on or before March 28, 2019 which means that even an adult with a simulated birth certificate could avail of the administrative adoption.

The Petition for Administrative Adoption with Application for Rectification of Simulated Birth Record could be filed until March 29, 2029 because the law provides for a ten-year period of implementation only from the date of effectivity, which is March 29, 2019.

Another important provision of the IRR is the issuance of the Order of Adoption by the DSWD Secretary which includes the following: Cancellation of the simulated birth record of the child; late registration of the rectified birth record, which is a birth or foundling certificate, bearing the true facts of birth or finding of the child as the case may be; and the new birth certificate.

Healthy Filipino children

Another law related to improving the well-being of children is the “Masustansyang Pagkain para sa Batang Pilipino Act,” which was signed by the President on June 20, 2018.

The law supports the Philippine Plan of Action for Children (PPAC) which aims to reduce stunting and wasting among preschool and school-aged children, as well as to reduce micronutrient deficiencies to levels below public health significance through the implementation of nutrition specific and nutrition-sensitive programs.

A salient point of the IRR is the institutionalization of the existing government feeding programs plus the provision of one fortified hot meal per day, fresh milk, and micronutrient supplementation to all beneficiaries of the DSWD’s Supplementary Feeding Program (SFP) and the DepEd’s school-based feeding program for not less than 120 days in a year.

The IRR also mandates the establishment of a National Nutrition Information System (NNIS), a database that will monitor program-beneficiaries and harmonize all existing national and local nutrition databases from concerned NGAs and other relevant agencies of government in order to identify individuals, groups, or localities with the highest magnitude of hunger and undernutrition. It will be managed by the National Nutrition Council (NNC) and will be used to monitor the health and nutrition of all Filipino children, especially the beneficiaries of SFP.

Concerned local government units (LGUs), in coordination with NGAs, are also required to conduct health examinations, deworming, vaccination of beneficiaries, and establishment of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) facilities.

In addition, NGAs, in coordination with the Department of Agriculture (DA), will also encourage their component units to allot a portion of land or space for the cultivation of vegetables and other nutrient-rich plants and shall employ modern gardening technologies under the Gulayan sa Paaralan.

The IRR also includes the institutionalization of the Integrated Nutrition Education, Behavioral Transformation and Social Mobilization (INEBTSM) program. This features public health, nutrition, and values transformation campaign which promotes holistic and integrated approach to health and nutrition education.

DSWD, as part of the executive branch of the government, will ensure that the implementation of laws for children will be responsive to their holistic needs. -30- # Source – www.dswd.gov.ph

DOH SECRETARY SIGNS IRR OF UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE LAW

Health Secretary Francisco T. Duque III today signed the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Universal Health Care Law (UHC) or the Republic Act No. 11223, which was enacted last February 20 of this year by President Rodrigo Duterte.

The IRR will pave way for the implementation of the UHC Law, which ensures holistic health care for every Juan and Juana by reorienting health care towards health promotion and preventive care, from a curative care focused system.

“The health system must actively improve the health literacy, the built environment, and the social determinants of health of every Filipino⁠—it should be a system that seeks out and cares for Juan and Juana everyday, throughout their lives, not just when they are sick,” Secretary Duque said.

Each Filipino will be assigned to a primary care provider (health worker) who shall be the first contact of health care. Primary care providers will deliver free essential health services and will guide patients through the different health care facilities. 

All Filipinos will also be automatic members of PhilHealth as direct or indirect contributors and shall be eligible to No Balance Billing once admitted to basic or ward accommodations in hospitals. Availability of basic ward accommodation in all facilities will be ensured through prescribed basic-private bed ratios—90:10 for public health facilities, 70:30 for public specialty health facilities, and a minimum of 10:90 for private health facilities.

With UHC, the delivery of optimum and quality health services will be achieved through capacity-building of human resources for health and improved access to medicines and commodities by way of transparent pricing. 

With all these promising improvements in the health system, the DOH reminds every Filipino to be cognizant of their role as agents of change, equally responsible for their own health. 

“When we say, “Sa UHC, lahat kasama,” we do not just mean that UHC caters to every Juan and Juana, we are also calling on every Juan and Juana to contribute to this immense reform to shape their health future, a health future that is for them and as much as it is by them,” Secretary Duque concluded. # Source – www.doh.gov.ph

DEPED REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO TEACHERS' SAFETY

The Department of Education (DepEd) on Sunday reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring teachers’ safety and well-being and maintaining schools as zones of peace.

This after the shooting of Zhydee Bitago Cabañelez, an elementary teacher at the Dalit Elementary School in Valencia City, Bukidnon on October 15.

Some four unidentified armed men attacked Cabañelez and her husband, Ramil, with the pupils still inside her classroom at around 8 a.m.

The husband managed to escape while the victim sustained serious physical injuries.

In a statement through viber, DepEd Undersecretary Annalyn Sevilla and officer-in-charge Assistant Secretary for Legal Affairs Alberto Escobarte, during a meeting with the Alliance of Concerned Teachers at the DepEd Central Office, said the victims would be provided with financial assistance.

“Sa ngayon nakapagbigay na po tayo nang financial assistance [sa mga biktima]. (We have already given financial assistance [to the victims]. We were able to give it through voluntary contributions to their family),” Sevilla added.

Meanwhile, Escobarte assured that the victims are entitled to rehabilitation leave with pay which is subject to extension, on top of the statutory benefits from Government Service Insurance System and Philippine Health Insurance Corporation.

“The barangay leaders committed to assign civilian volunteer organizations (CVO), purok leaders, and barangay tanod to serve as security officers during school hours. The community people have become more aware and are escorting the teachers in coming to school and going home up to the boundary of the barangay,” Escobarte said.

He added there could be higher penalties against the perpetrators since the direct assault was committed against persons in authority on official duty.

The Schools Division Office of Valencia City coordinated with the local authorities for added security.

Sevilla reported that the learners, teachers, and parents involved in the incident already received psychological first-aid through stress debriefing. Classes in the school will resume next week. 

DepEd Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones earlier issued a statement strongly condemning the crime and called on the Philippine National Police to resolve the case and bring the perpetrators to justice.

“We continue to reiterate our call to various stakeholders to maintain the neutrality of schools as ‘zones of peace’ to ensure that learners and teachers are in an environment conducive to learning and free from harm,” Briones said. (PNA)
