What is Protecting Children: Against RA 9344 Amendments about?

This document opposes amending the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act of 2006 (RA 9344) to lower the minimum age of criminal responsibility from 15 to below 12 years old. It argues that 1) lowering the age would weaken efforts to build a child-friendly justice system and treat children in conflict with the law as victims rather than criminals, and 2) the existing law should be properly implemented through adequate intervention programs and rehabilitation facilities before considering amendments.
