INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Juvenile justice law of 2006 is a system dealing with children of risk and

children in conflict with the law which provide child-appropriate proceeding

including programs and services for prevention diversion rehabilitation and after

case to ensure their normal growth and development. Also a child who is

vulnerable to and at the risks of committing criminal offenses because of

personal, family and social circumstances as being out of school.

Law makers actually got the age of criminal responsibility raised from a

year of age to 15 arguing in part that putting a years old. In the system was just

wrong at a recent hearing house justice committee chair Salvado Lechon said

that has a mistake (Michael Sullivan, Byline 2006).

Bagadiong (2003) said that the JJWC advocate for the full implementation

first of the law because there are still a lot of misconception of the juvenile justice

and welfare act. That the child always gets away with whatever crime he or she

does but it’s not true.

Many of today’s youth are out of disciplines due to involvement to various

evil activities. Individuals are starting to involve themselves in crimes and deviant

behaviors at a younger age today. There are even children who commit rape,
 PLACIDO T. AMO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 2

murders and or homicide. This is because their parent has lack of monitoring and

evidence to their children.

This study aimed to know the perception of the student on the

implementation of the republic act 9344 or the juvenile justice law.

The findings of this study may help to identify the individual characteristics

that could shape young inmates experiences at interaction and how their

experiences may increase the different potential at a prison term. Also it could

contribute to those children and of course to their parent for them to consider the

consequences mentor violent of the evil children the laws o the government.

Statement of the Problem

This study aimed to know the Perceptions of the students on the

implementation of the Republic Act 9344 or the Juvenile Justice Law specifically.

Significance of the Study

The results of the study contributed to the students in order to raise

awareness to Republic Act 9344 or also known as Juvenile Justice Law of 2006.

The researchers find the significance of the result of this study: the Institution,

Students, and LGU, PNP and Future Researchers.

Institution- this study is very significant to the institution of Placido T.

Amo Senior High School as they are handling some students with minor

age. They can also learn more things about this matter and they can have

awareness to certain causes relevant to this case.

Students- this study is a significant to students in a way that they could

have more idea about the implementation of Juvenile Justice Law. It will

enlighten their minds to know and realize their boundaries or limitations

about the cause of their actions.

Local Government Unit - through this study, they would be guided in

formulating prevention program designed to address the issue of Juvenile

delinquency for which the local government may be of great help in

reducing the cases involving minors.

Philippine National Police- they would gain knowledge on what leads the

youth to engage in delinquent acts and be guided in conducting seminars

 PLACIDO T. AMO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 5

or symposium for public awareness regarding Juvenile delinquency as

part of their police community relation program.

Future Researchers- this study is significant to future researchers who

conduct the same study since it will give additional concepts and

information about the students perception about the implementation of

Republic Act 9344 or the Juvenile Justice law of 2006, thus furnishing their

research with a wider scope, broader, body of knowledge and more

intensive investigation.

Scope and Limitations

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter presents the related literature and studies review by the

researchers to understand the concepts related to the problem at hand.

In the Philippines the number of Filipino children in conflict with the law is

increasing CNN (2010) reported that there were more or less 20,000 Juveniles

and youthful offender detained in prisons in the Philippines. A youthful offender

can be a child minor or one who is emancipated in accordance with law and over

nine years old to 18 years of age at the time of the commission of the offense

(Article 189, child and Youth Welfare Code). Under section 4(e) of RA 9344. A

child in conflict with the law (CIC2) refers to a child who is alleged as accused of

or adjudged as having committed an offense under Philippines laws. The children

in conflict with the law are youthful offenders known also as chronic recidivist.

These are the youth who had been arrested four or more times during their

minority of serious criminal acts (Seigel, Wetch & Fenna, 2006).

This was supported by the study conducted by Villegas as mentioned in

the study of Dalangin (2009) which revealed that a growing number of Filipino

children are going stray and becoming in conflict with the law. Further statistics

revealed that the natures of offenses committed were getting heavier and the
 PLACIDO T. AMO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 9

ages of the children involved in the commission of the offense were getting lower.

This is followed by increase of crimes committed by children in conflict with the

law with total of 11.75 in rank 2. This is a manifestation that the police CSWD

and the family court are very aware and well informed of the rights of a child in

conflict with the law. According to them they recognize the role of the youth in

nation building. This reveals that the respondents agree that the law under the

section 2 paragraph of RA 9344. The state recognizes the vital role of children

and youth in nation building and shall leaders (Retrieved from:

www.sunstar.com.ph, March 4, 2013). More budget and resource allocation on

the part of local government ranked least. In order to have an effective

implementation of RA 9344 there is a need for a more budget to have adequate

equipment and facilities.

The least possible impact of exempting the youthful offender from criminal

liability as perceived by the police CSWD and by the family court are public

knowledge is limited due to suppression of the press to public related of records.

Under RA 9344 the best interest of the child should always be consider. It refers

to the totality of the circumstances and conditions which are most congenial to

the survival protection and feelings of security of a child and most encouraging to

the child’s physical psychological and emotional development. It also means the

least detrimental available alternative for safe guarding the growth and

development of the child. The public shall be excluded during the proceedings
 PLACIDO T. AMO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 10

and the records shall not be disclosed directly or indirectly to anyone by any of

the parties or the participants in the proceedings for any purpose what over

except to determine if the child in conflict with the law may have his/her sentence

suspended or if he/she may be granted probation under the probation law or to

enforce the civil damage imposed in the criminal action. Second is

retaliation/revenges of the victims. Since some parent paid the civil

damage/indemnity to the victims retaliation or revenges are prevented. Some

victims accept the apology of the offender in law of preserving family ties.

Third is the discouragement among business investors. Juvenile crime

can create danger to the community especially in areas where they live or work.

Community members may worry that young people involved in vandalism or

destruction of property may try to fight with them if the community members

interrupt them while store owners might fear that they will be attached by scared

young people who are trying to steal. Juvenile crimes promote and protect their

physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual and social wee-being. It shall inculcate in

the youth patriotism and nationalism and encourage their involvement in public

and civic affairs. Third in rank is by failure of the parents to develop strong values

among children in conflict with the law and family are given more responsibility

delinquency prevention. RA 9344 lead to parental irresponsibly due to the fact

that their children are exempt from criminal liability. Under RA 9344 of 2006 a

child 15 years of age or younger at time of commission of offense shall be

 PLACIDO T. AMO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 11

exempted from any criminal liability while those above 15 and below 18 years of

age can only be criminally if they acted with discernment. The family is a social

institution is currently undergoing substantial changes its from is diversifying with

for example the increase in one-parent families and no marital unions. The

absence of fathers in many law-income families lead boys to seeks patterns of

masculinity in delinquent groups of peers. These group in many respect

substitute for the family define male roles, and contribute to the acquisition and

anxiety.

The importance of family well-being is becoming increasingly recognized.

Success in school depends greatly on whether parents have the capacity to

provide their children with “starting” opportunities (including the resources to buy

book and manual and play for studies). Adolescents from law-income families

often feel excluded. To raise their self-esteem and improve their status they

many choose to join a juvenile delinquent group. These groups provide equal

opportunities to everyone, favorably distinguishing themselves from school and

family where positions of authority are occupied by adults (Soriano, 2006).

Fourth in rank is Crime Syndicate exploration and use of children to carry

out illegal activities. It hinders the law enforcer or the law enforcement officer to

perform their noble task that is providing a safe place for every Filipino people or

maintaining peace and order in our country. Philippine National Police are

suffering difficulty or hardship to perform their duties and responsibilities because

 PLACIDO T. AMO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 12

of many syndicates such as Alqueda terrori and New People Army are recruiting

young fighters involving violence are also not unheard of and community

members living in areas with a high juvenile crime rate may worry that the

amount of youth violence in the community will begin to rise. Fourth mitigates or

extinguishes criminal liability. Section six of RA 9344 provides a child fifteen (15)

years of age or under at the time of the commission of the offense shall be

exempt from criminal liability. However the child shall be subjected to an

intervention program pursuant to section 20 of this Act.

A child above fifteen (15) years but below eighteen (18) years of age shall

likewise be exempt from criminal liability and be subjected to an intervention

program unless he/she he acted with discernment in which case such child shall

be subjected to the appropriate proceedings in accordance with this Act. It has

been observed the exemptions of the children 18 years old and below from

punishment or criminal liability is a big hindrance to the maintenance of peace

and order in Batangas city. There still continue increasing of volume of crimes

committed by youthful offenders and some youthful offenders were used by

syndicates as perpetrators of crimes.

A person who has been in conflict with the law as a child shall not be held liable

under any provision of law, to be guilty of perjury or of concealment or

misrepresentation by reason of his/her failure to acknowledge the case or recite

any fact related thereto in response to any inquiry made to him/her for any
 PLACIDO T. AMO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 13

purpose. All hearings and conciliation of the child and family cases shall be

treated in a manner of consistent with the promotion of the child’s and the

family’s dignity and worth, and shall respect their privacy at all stages of the

proceedings. Records of the cases shall be dealt with the utmost confidentiality

and identity of parties shall not be divulged unless necessary and with authority

of the judge (www.chanrobles.com). Finally, more programs for DSWD/CSWD.

There is a need for more programs for CSWD for the effective implementation of

RA 9344. As cited by Atty. Menchie Obmina-Muaña (2006) there are 600

children aged 15 and below who will be released from jails but do not have

families to return to (Rodrigo, 2006)

It was found out that a significant difference exists on the response of the City

Social Welfare and Development and the Police on the compliance to

requirements, procedures for taking child into custody and observance of the

rights of the child in conflict with the law. This was revealed by the obtained F-

value of 34.16 which was greater than the critical value as well as the resulted p-

value of 0.000 (< 0.05), therefore the hypothesis tested is rejected. This only

indicates that the two sectors have different assessment on the status of the

implementation. This means that the problems encountered by the police in the

implementation are affected by the status of RA 9344. As per status of

implementation of RA 9344 with respect monitoring and evaluation shows that

the implementation procedures and the extent of how a law is implemented can

be a basis of what problems may occur or encounter. RA 9344 covers the whole
 PLACIDO T. AMO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 14

justice system in youth crimes, from apprehension of minors, to transferring of

custody and court trials, and every sector has their own function in this system, it

is possible that the problems they will encounter are highly affected by the

implementation of the law within their range of responsibilities

Most of the students performance are much better when the environment

of their classroom is comfortable and well-organized for the students. The

researchers can relate the implementation of the republic act 9344 or the

Juvenile Justice Law of 2006 and also depends on the environment that they are

exposed to.

The review of related served as the basic on this study in the perception of

the students on the implementation of republic act 9344 or the Juvenile Justice

Law of 2006. Also this helped the researcher to understand the issue and

challenges of the students with regards to students’ perception on the

implementation of republic act. It also served as a guide towards doing the entire

research. The concept and theories obtained by the researchers from the review

of related literature was use to generate significant concept to improve the

problem related at hand.
