Abstract

The laws and policies in the Philippines aim to rehabilitate Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL) and protect their welfare. The Barangay Council for the Protection of Children (BCPC) utilizes restorative justice processes to rehabilitate CICL. The main objective of the study is to find out the effectiveness of community restorative justice system in rehabilitating CICL and to spread awareness about the current system. It also aimed to describe the process of promoting restorative justice in CICL rehabilitation, identify gaps in the BCPC implementation of restorative justice, enable stakeholders and recommend intervention programs at the barangay level to sustainably divert children from committing crimes, keep them with their family, remain in school, and maintain healthy social relationships. Data were gathered through focus group and interview and analyzed qualitatively. The findings showed that there are existing rules and policies on restorative justice in the country. It was also apparent that there are gaps which were basis in the development of strategies and eventually the development of programs. It is recommended that the programs developed will be implemented in the locality.
