 Background of the study

The barangay officials and police are involved at the

different approaches to any circumstances; barangay
officials and police, are called to deal with something that
ought not be happening and about when someone had
better do something, so most importantly that we do
something to prevent conflicts in the streets during the
curfew hours.
 The officials and enforcer of barangay must to play a vital role in
regards to curfew ordinance and they need to do practices that needed
to enforce it effectively by the strategies of the team. The barangay
council for the protection of children is tasked to take charge of the
concerns about the minors, and also by continuing the program to their
advocacy in their barangay, Tacda (2015). There’s some program in
barangay that will inform the barangay officials and enforcer of what
procedure and proper ways, and the barangay official must to follow a
process in regards to curfew ordinance, therefore the enforcer must to
assure that they will obey the rules and regulation of enforcing curfew
ordinance, Johnson (2016). Many programs are establishing and some
of them are the programs for children, that will only focus on the issue
regarding the minor under the age of 18. According to the proposed
Ordnance Mandating strict implementation of new curfew in Caloocan
in Republic Act No. 9344, the Juvenile and Welfare Act of 2006 was
passed into law that covers different stages involving children at risk
and children in conflict with the law from prevention to rehabilitation
and reintegration.
