 What is Commitment?

It is the legal act of entrusting a child

to the care of the Department of
Social Welfare or any duly licensed
child placement agency or individual.

- Rodriguez Kyle Nathaniel

 Types of Commitment

It could be done in the following manner;

1. Involuntary Commitment
- In case of a dependent child, or
through the termination of parental or
guardianship rights by reason of
abandonment, substantial and
continuous or repeated neglect and/or
parental incompetency to discharge
parental responsibilities.

- Pendang Jandyl Nyce Cariaga

 Types of Commitment

2. Voluntary Commitment
- It is voluntary or freely done (without force) relinquishment
or parental or guardianship rights (Jurado, 2006).

- Pendang Jandyl Nyce Cariaga

 Difference of Involuntary and Voluntary
Commitment
INVOLUNTARY COMMITMENT
- Parents are forced to surrender their child
to DSWD or any licensed child-caring agency
or individual capable of doing so. The reason
is parent’s inability or incompetency to
provide the needs that their child must
have.
- Geonzon Louie Matthew
VOLUNTARY COMMITMENT
- Parents have been willingly decided to
surrender their child to DSWD or any
licensed child-caring agency or individual
capable of doing so. They are not forced to
but it’s their own volition to do so.
 What is the role of the DSWD?

The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) is a

department of the Philippine government charged with the
protection and promotion of the social welfare and development
of Filipinos. DSWD provides social protection to vulnerable groups
such as orphans, abandoned children, street children, persons
with disabilities, elderly persons, women, and indigenous
peoples.

 Disabled children as used in this Chapter

 Training and Opportunities for Disabled
Children

Specialized educational services shall be

expanded and improved to provide appropriate

help provide opportunities for their future
occupational placement. That the agencies and
organizations engaged in programs and services
for the disabled need not be limited to minors.
Persons of legal age may be admitted whenever
