'HINDI PWEDENG PAKAWALAN ANG MGA SUSPEK KAHIT MENOR DE EDAD'
Senator Kiko Pangilinan extended his condolences and called for the immediate and proper implementation of the Juvenile Justice Law after the tragic shooting incident that occurred at San Jose National High School in Tacloban City on Monday.
Two Grade 9 students, ages 14 and 15, opened fire inside the school, leaving three students dead and seven others wounded.
"Nananawagan ako ng mabilis, ganap, at tamang pagpapatupad ng Juvenile Justice Law. Hindi pwedeng pakawalan ang mga suspek kahit menor de edad. Dapat dumaan sila sa prosesong itinakda ng batas," he stated.
Pangilinan added that under the law which he authored, parents of the suspects may also be held liable. (Facebook/Kiko Pangilinan)
A 15-year old plus student was arrested as the suspect of the killings in Taclobanโs San Jose National High School.
Under the Juvenile Justice Act, if he acted with discernment, may criminal liability pa din.
Thereโs no need to amend it.
Wag maniwala kay Robin Padilla. ๐

Suspect in tacloban shooting incident.
This is clearly kasalanan ng mga magulang nila. 14-15 anyos lang tinuturuan na umasinta ng baril?? Para saan??
. Ikulong ang mga magulang.
As someone who has spent three decades advocating for children, I find it deeply troubling that his first instinct is to make younger children criminally liable rather than address the failures that allowed this tragedy to happen in the first place.
Three children are dead.
The question is not why a 10-year-old should be punished.
The question is why minors have access to firearms.
The question is why violence continues to find its way into our schools.
The question is why our education, mental health, social welfare, and law enforcement systems repeatedly fail children before a crime is ever committed.
Real leadership requires more than reacting to headlines.
It requires understanding the problem.
Lowering the age of criminal responsibility may generate applause. It may generate media attention. But there is little evidence that it addresses the root causes of youth violence.
Children who commit serious crimes must be held accountable. But accountability should not become a substitute for prevention.
A senatorโs responsibility is not merely to propose the harshest response. It is to propose the most effective one.
I have worked with vulnerable children for most of my adult life. Many have been abused, neglected, abandoned, exploited, or exposed to violence long before they ever entered conflict with the law.
It is easy to appear tough on children.
It is much harder to confront the adult failures that create these tragedies.
Before Senator Padilla asks Congress to treat younger children as criminals, perhaps he should explain why government has failed to protect them as children in the first place.
MAY PANANAGUTAN ANG MGA MENOR DE EDAD NA NASASANGKOT SA KRIMEN
Marami pa ring maling impormasyon tungkol sa Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act.
May pananagutan. May proseso. May mga intervention upang matiyak na hindi na ito mauulit.
May pananagutan din ang mga magulang. May tungkulin naman ang pamahalaanโsa pamamagitan ng DSWD at iba pang ahensyaโna magbigay ng suporta sa mga biktima, kanilang mga pamilya.
Iligal ang pakawalan ang menor de edad na nasangkot sa krimen at may parusa sa mga gagawa nito.
Ang tunay na hamon ay hindi ang pagpapakalat ng takot at disinformation, kundi ang ganap na pagpapatupad ng batas at pagtiyak na may hustisya, accountability, at proteksyon para sa lahat ng bata.
