Batang Preso

[Tonyang]

Ooops Kabayan at Moderator, huwag kayong magagalit sa mga expo-say ng inyong sis dito... eto ang mga katotohanan na dapat nagpapagalaw na sa ating lahat at huwag nang magsisihan dahil parte tayo ng solusyon nito.

MGA BATANG PRESO sa Pinas - ang sitwasyon nila sa ngayon ang dahilan ng ating kahihiyan sa buong mundo na ibinulgar ng CNN. I am sure alam ninyo ito... dapat concerned tayo sa bagay na ito dahil talagang nakakahiiya...

Bakit sila nakakulong? Di ba dapat nag-aaral sila? Anu-ano ang kaso ng mga batang ito?

1) nahuling nagnakaw ng isda sa talipapa, sigarilyo o wallet
2) nahuling nagra-rugby
3) etc

Yes napakaliit ng kanilang kasalanan at higit sa lahat, sila ay mga bata na naliligaw ng landas. Mahigit 20,000 sila sa buong Pilipinas.. Icheck ko ulit iyang statistics at baka mali pero marami sila sa 10,000 sa mga nakita kong statistics sa web. Wala na ba silang pagasa? Again, huwag na po nating isisi kung kani-kanino...ang importante ngayon ay umaksyon po tayo kahit malayo tayo sa Pinas, marami tayong magagawa. Mag-uumpisa iyan sa mga sasagot sa panawagang ito sa mga taga-Japan. Maraming salamat.

[adechan]

ACTION!!!

ganyan na palang kagrabe.

anyone who want to extend a hand?

may ilan akong alam na kalinga for children, they wanted to extend more for projects, and do more about these street children, but the support they recieve are not enough. Wanted to give more.

Pero eto, mga nasa kulungan na talaga. Malinaw na malinaw na ang mga batang iyan ay biktima lang nang kahirapan at kapabayaan nang mga magulang.

Tonyang any plans?

[docomo]

Ok lang ba talaga magpakita ng ganitong mga pics. sa forum?? :confused: :confused:

Ano bang dapat ipakita sa forum, Docomo? Lahat nakakatuwa at magaganda lang? Takpan na lang ang mga tunay na kulay at katotohanan na nangyayari?

[Dax]

Siguro ang tinutukoy ni doc ay ang mukha ng mga bata - privacy rights. Dito sa Japan bawal i-disclose ang identity nila kung underage, however big or small the crime.

Palagay ko okey lang sa news sa TV pag ibang bansa pinakikita nila mukha.Pag picture ng hapon na bata bawal.:eek:

[katty0531]

Noong nakita ko ito sa The Correspondents, honestly naiyak din ako don sa kwento ng isang bata na nakalaya na after maipalabas ito sa t.v., iisa lang ang masasabi ko dito, problema ito ng ating bansa...na dapat bilisan nila yong batas para dito, meron na eh, kesho ang mababang kapulungan wala pa, hinihintay pa...bagal bagal..

[docomo]

Palagay ko okey lang sa news sa TV pag ibang bansa pinakikita nila mukha.Pag picture ng hapon na bata bawal.:eek:

.. pag ang nakakita kaya nyang picture na yan eh yung mga taong may pakialam sa seldang yan yung mga taong hindi natin alam kung anong kayang gawin mga nasa posisyon na hindi palalagpasin yang mga bagay bagay na makakasira sa kanila .. pano kaya yon? sa tingin mo kaya may laban ka?? ikaw na rin diba ang nagsabi sa akin na mahirap sila kalabanin? nakalimutan mo na yata?? umiiwas lang sa mga pwedeng maganap ..

Kapatid, nasa web tayo. Pakitingnan mo ito www.preda.org (http://www.preda.org) . Diyan galing ang mga retratong nakita mo.

[Tonyang]

Takpan na lang natin ang mga mukha simula ngayon... madaling gawin iyun... Paano haharapin at matutulungan ang sitwasyon nila, iyun ang inihaharap natin sa mga interesadong makatulong.

Sis Adechan, eto iyung nalathala ko noon sa http://www.tpmovers.org/sponsor_a_jailed_kid .htm

There are many DIASPORA organizations who are online and more than 3 times of the online ones are still offline. As our short-term approach, we could tap their support to

1. sponsor at least one child to get out of jail

2. help improve facilities of a rehab center by providing us the reasonable items to procure

3. help build schools and buildings for them

We have a direct connection now - Global Pinoy movement. Lahat sila nasa Pilipinas at may reintegration house na mine-maintain "MOLAVE YOUTH HOME" kung saan may skill-building para sa mga batang preso na nakalabas na.

Let me know what you think... puwede nating iharap ito sa mga organisasyon sa Japan.

[docomo]

.. kung may link naman pala yung link na lang sana ang i^attach ,safe pa .. diba ganon naman dapat dahil nasa rules yon ..

ok back to the issue ...pano sila matutulungan???

.. I'm more than willing to help .. kung magtayo kaya tayo ng organization dito , mga activities na pwede tayong maka raise ng funds ... since nandito tayo sa Japan and hindi naman tayo pwedeng makauwi palagi sa atin... what do you think?? :)

Let's partner with an existing organization in the Phils... sila iyung counterpart natin na tutulong sa reintegration program ng mga bata dahil wala tayo sa Pinas. Ang maitutulong natin resources dahil wala nga tayo sa Pinas. May mga madre at mga volunteer na puwedeng kumilos like mag-followup ng mga kaso pero walang silang mobilization fund dahil kahit gusto nilang mag-volunteer, wala silang means para kumilos. What do you think, Docomo?

[RAIN]

.. pag ang nakakita kaya nyang picture na yan eh yung mga taong may pakialam sa seldang yan yung mga taong hindi natin alam kung anong kayang gawin mga nasa posisyon na hindi palalagpasin yang mga bagay bagay na makakasira sa kanila .. pano kaya yon? sa tingin mo kaya may laban ka?? ikaw na rin diba ang nagsabi sa akin na mahirap sila kalabanin? nakalimutan mo na yata?? umiiwas lang sa mga pwedeng maganap ..Docomo kaya ko nasabi na okey lang kasi nakita ko isang documentary bata na nag babasura sa smokey mountain pinakikita nila mukha diko matangdaan 4 na bata na walang ma kain at puro bata nag aaway dahil sa basura at isa pang case north korea pinakita mukha ng bata na nag nanakaw ng pagkain tapos hinuli nila at pinag sisipa.Isang case sa peru na inabuso ang bata pinakita rin ang mukha ng bata.pero bakit pag america may cover ang mukha gun shooting sa school takot kasi ang hapon sa america.

.. I think the idea would be nice.. since may contact na sa atin.. at least hindi na tayo mangangapa .. ang pagtutuunan na lang natin ng pansin is how to raise funds .. sino sino tayo ?? who's in ? mahabang usapin ito for planning different kinds of activities..

[docomo]

Docomo kaya ko nasabi na okey lang kasi nakita ko isang documentary bata na nag babasura sa smokey mountain pinakikita nila mukha diko matangdaan 4 na bata na walang ma kain at puro bata nag aaway dahil sa basura at isa pang case north korea pinakita mukha ng bata na nag nanakaw ng pagkain tapos hinuli nila at pinag sisipa.Isang case sa peru na inabuso ang bata pinakita rin ang mukha ng bata.pero bakit pag america may cover ang mukha gun shooting sa school takot kasi ang hapon sa america.

.. I see your point ... pagiingat lang naman nothing personal .. dahil ito yung means na pwede tayong maka pag reach out sa nangangailangan .. pag nawala itong medium na ito , diba mas lalo tayong walang magagawa ... ok na yon Rain.. :)

[adechan]

count on me.

(sagot ko na lahat nang tanong .... ngee .... dyok lang po)

.. I see your point ... pagiingat lang naman nothing personal .. dahil ito yung means na pwede tayong maka pag reach out sa nangangailangan .. pag nawala itong medium na ito , diba mas lalo tayong walang magagawa ... ok na yon Rain.. :) next time docomo banatan na lang natin ang mga leader kay sa pakita ang mga biktima cool tayo:D

By God's grace, I will share this info to kapatiran here.

Mga Kasama:

Eto iyung captured photos ko sa latest na balita... bakit sila nakakulong pa rin??

http://www.tpmovers.org/childprisoners7.jpg

http://www.tpmovers.org/childprisoners8.jpg

http://www.tpmovers.org/childprisoners9.jpg

Para silang mga baboy o anumang hayop na nakahawla... gawa tayo ng paraan para mailabas sila at magkaroon ng reintegration program, mga Ka-Timog!

[Tonyang]

Release-Reintegrate-Raise
Ok huwag kayong magagalit... release-reintegrate-raise or 3Rs are the key words. Suwerte si Buddy at nasa Community News siya. Iyung Batang Preso thread na inumpisahan noon nasa Everything Else o Off-topic ba iyon? Bakit OFF-TOPIC ito eh ito ang kahihiyan natin sa buong mundo? Kahit tayo ang nag-champion sa ASEAN... matatabunan ito ng kahihiyang ito na hindi natin magampanan. Batuhin natin ang gobyerno? Wala silang magagawa...very incompetent. We can't wait for them to move. Ang mga bata, nag-aabang ng pagkakataon na magpanibagong-buhay.

Hay naku! Huwag sana natin isaalang-alang ang ganitong bagay dahil ang mga Hapong katrabaho o kakilala natin, nalalaman na ito o kahit di nila binabanggit sa kanila, alam nila itong kahihiyang ito. Tinitingnan tayo ng mga iyan at di lang masabi "bakit ganoon sa bansa ninyo" at di natin puwedeng sabihin lang na "palpak ang gobyerno natin" dahil alam na natin iyun. Kaya tayo dapat ang kumilos, mga kasama. Magtulungan tayong lahat.

Kung ok sa inyong palipasin ito at ibaon sa limot, nasaan ang konsyensya natin di ba? Mga kabataang humihingi ng saklolo ito... tululngan natin sana.

Anyway, we need to:

1. search for volunteer-lawyers who will represent the child prisoners for their release;

2. search for NGOs and agencies that could provide a reintegration program for released children

3. raise mobilization funds to help this cause

Our movement through Donna Rebagoda in Manila will visit one jail tomorrow in Sta. Cruz. You might be interested to go there too. Her mobile no is 0917-529-4433.

More pictures as captured from ITN video para makita ninyong lahat... para silang mga hayop na nakahawla. Buti pa ang mga tuta at aso rito sa Japan sa mga tindahang nakikita ko, nakakaikot sila sa laki ng kanilang mga kulungan. Bakit sila ginaganito? Loko na nga kung loko sila pero ito ba ang tamang pagtrato sa mga kabataan na may pagasa pang magbago?? Karumal-dumal di ba? Kaya sumagot lang kayo kung gusto ninyong tumulong.

Dito sa Japan puwede tayong makatulong pag nalaman na natin kung sinu-sino ang mga dapat tulungan o kung may mga kakilala na kayo na mga batang preso na dapat tulungan, pakisulat na lang agad at gawa tayo ng fundraising dito sa Japan para masuportahan ang cause na ito. So pera na naman pag-uusapan natin at baka magkagulo ulit kaya hintayin muna natin ang listahan ng mga dapat tulungan at buuin natin ang isang transparent donation system kung ok lang kayong lahat. Okidoks, Adechan and folks, let's continue. Ikokopya ko na lang ito sa Batang Preso thread ulit...

i also saw that in cnn. sobra, nakakaawa ang mga bata. they are supposed to be school.. Pero ano ba ang magagawa natin to help them?

[Tonyang]

Lady Gems, thanks for the positive reply. Please spread the word. Our solution - 3Rs:

Release - search for volunteer lawyers
Reintegrate - search for NGOs and agencies to provide a reintegration program
Raise Funds - to assist release and reintegration programs

Which of these would you be interested?

Mga Ka-TF:

Eto na iyung isa pang solution na mas nagiging klaro at puwede nating pagtulungan... siyempre mas maraming kikilos, mas magkakatotoo ito. Si Atty Eric Mallonga ay chairperson ng Child Justice League, Inc.

--------------------------
Thanks for the continuing communications. Yes,
volunteer lawyers are necessary. But we come short
always. Many of the volunteer lawyers of the Child
Justice League, which Katrina Legarda, June Ambrosio
and I founded, can only handle one to two cases a year
because they have to concentrate on their own
livelihood. Also, most of the cases of our volunteer
lawyers are on cases of child abuse, not the other
side of the coin, which is child offenders. Many
people want to help if the children are victims of
crime. But when the children are so-called offenders,
then there is no help at all. Many people, including
lawyers, think that children who commit offenses are
criminals, even when these children are merely charged
with public urination, vagrancy, mendicancy and such
other absurd criminal offenses. These poor children
are not viewed as victims also.

In short, we can find volunteer lawyers for children
who have been victimized and abused by their parents,
by authority figures, by rapists, by teachers. But it
is difficult to find volunteer lawyers for children
who are in jail, or who have been charged with a
criminal offense. But we can find them. It is a
matter of following up on them. Of course, these
lawyers will merely be able to handle one or two cases
a year because they will be doing this on a purely
voluntary basis. They will be receiving no
compensation, maybe even no token of appreciation or
gratitude from the children that they have helped.
Tonette's proposal for case tracking is good.
However, who will do the case tracking? This is going
to be a fulltime job. Who will pay the salary of the
case tracker or social worker tasked to do this job?
Who will pay for the allowances needed for the case
tracker to discuss with social workers, wardens,
government officials about the child's case? Who will
pay for the telephone bills and the office space and
the documentation and the photocopying and the
notarization, etc.? Who will be accountable, in the
end, for the realization of this proposal?
Who will do the case-tracking for the fifty two
thousand children in jail every year? As I said, the
children in jail or in the criminal justice system are
like a river that continuously flows without end, and
the water that passes you by will never be the same.
Who would even want to track down the case of one
hundred children, one thousand children, ten thousand
children, fifty two thousand children? I told you
before that there was one time I had released twenty
five children in one hearing in one court. The next
day, there were fifty children who replaced them in
Molave Detention Center in Quezon City. The release
of two children in MYRC in Manila resulted in the
replacement of five children. So who is fooling whom?

The police, the prosecutors and the judges are
playing a dangerous game.

This week, there was a forum sponsored by the Swedish
embassy. They were very happy to hear from Atty.
Albert Muyot of the UNICEF that Philippine Senate has
already raised the age of criminal liability to 15
years. Today, I watched the latest CNN expose
involving 15 year old children incarcerated in the
Sta. Cruz precinct jail of Manila. Many of them are
there for theft of a bucket of fish and other
misdemeanors. So, what development is UNICEF talking
about when the same poor children, only older this
time, will still be detained, incarcerated and
convicted of crimes like any other common criminal.
Tonette, I had a talk with Dr. Jose Baranda, the chief
of Manila Social Services Division. He promised a one
thousand square meter property for a shelter, possibly
to Virlanie or any other organization, to house the
vagrant and mendicant children of Manila. If you can
raise the funds, Tonette, for the construction of the
building, you can choose your own architect, your own
contractor, then I will immediately coordinate with
Mayor Atienza or Dr. Baranda for the immediate
construction of this building. One thousand square
meters can accommodate the two hundred children in
MYRC right now. I will even look for the food and
clothing and educational scholarships for these
children. All you have to do is raise the fund for
the shelter. Let your challenges take some concrete
action. Because now Tonette, I am challenging you to
do your best for our country, and for our children.
If you think you can do it, then I will call up Mayor
Atienza immediately, even if we are not real friends.
He just knows me as the lawyer who brought Princess
Caroline to Manila. I will tell him that he has to
give us the property immediately because one Tonette
Binsol is already raising the funds for the shelter
for two hundred children. Of course, this is Mayor
Atienza's job. But do you think that our government
officials are so humane as to come up with these
initiatives? do you think that they will shell out
money from their own pockets or from the government
purse? Think again. They will not. So let us just
do what we can to help in the upliftment of our
children and see how far the government can help.
Sige Tonette and Dr. Joy. Tonette might just have
been doused with a bucket of cold water. And realized
the real reality of what is happening here in the
Philippines. E kung ang judge, walang computer para
gawin ang decisions niya, e di talagang tagilid ang
bata. Ako na nga nagsasabi, ako na ang
magpapa-release ng mga batang ito, 200 0f them, but
our kababayans, Dr. Joy, have to prove themselves.
Kahit gumastos pa ako ng katakot-takot na salapi para
lamang makatulong sa bata, ginagawa ko na iyon. Pero,
ang mga kababayan natin ay dapat na ngang magising sa
katotohanang kaharap natin. Hinihingi ko lamang
Tonette, na kayo na diyan ang gumastos ng
katakot-takot na salapi para guminhawa naman ang mga
bata sa bansang nakakaawa talaga. Isang gusali lamang
sa Manila na puwede mong patakbuhin kung gusto mong
bumalik ng Pilipinas. Iyan ang magiging legacy mo sa
batang Pilipino. kaya ba?
Salamat, ipagpatuloy ang mga pangarap. Pero
ipagpatuloy din ang kongkretong aksyon upang magkaroon
naman ng katotohanan at realisasyon ang mga pangarap
na iyon.
Muli, Eric Mallonga

[Tonyang]

To all those who believe that ambag-ambag could work, thanks a lot and hope to hear from the others here... mabuhay kayo at tumutulong kayo para magawan ng paraan ang ating KAHIHIYAN sa mundo! Can you be a link in your location to disseminate the info of our network-building strategy to help the Batang Preso sector?

KAHIHIYAN SOURCE (Batang Preso Video): http://www.itn.co.uk/images/video.gif Grim behind bars

Subject: Release, Reintegrate and Raise Funds



Bert, many thanks for the interest to solve this problem. Donna had mentioned your name many times already and indeed, we're thankful for joining our forces to help the batang preso sector.

Your presence in another country (Australia) is another plus factor. Thus, we are getting more and more country reps to help us in the info dissemination, decision-making and problem-solving.

Actually, the government must cooperate to formulate a faster solution. We civilians cannot do it alone...

I think we could mobilize communities overseas to raise funds and to network with NGO counterparts and lawyers in the Philippines as well. Our targets:

RELEASE - with the help of lawyers like Atty Eric Mallonga from Child Justice League and Bantay Bata Foundation

REINTEGRATE - with the help of Nanay-Pilipinas, PREDA, other NGOs

RAISE - mobilization funds

Your inputs are for the rehab or reintegration program which will be played by our NGO and volunteer counterparts in the Philippines. I learned that you are going home and interested to meet our counterparts.

Your idea on fundraising is correct. If we don't have a definite plan then it will be difficult to convince others to participate. We hope to hear everyone's suggestion and come up with an effective and cohesive plan later... such a plan must have both short-term (immediate actions) and long-term (sustainable) schemes.

Please join us in some of the mailing lists helping this sector:

Hi Donna,Tonet,
I wish to congratulate you for the hard work you have done already and your unending rally to help our countrymen.
Thank you for giving me this chance to put in my views for the said issue in assisting the kids who were inside prison cells.
THEY MUST NOT BE THERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
I'm not conversant of the Phils. penal sysytem and for all i know is it's very hard to talk to nor convey people there who are in positions especially the court judges, but on the other hand, if the group or any other group could make a representation to individual judges assuring him or them, vouched by documentation of the program of course, that the child should be REPREMANDED as a first offender or in some cases even second or third offender, depending on the seriousness or gravity of the cases he was involved in. That the Judge will pass judgement that the boy will be under a Work Program under such and such for a period of time and report to such an address or someone from the group will pick him from a designated address and deliver him to a facility runned by any gov't agency or an NGO. This will bypass the police to take control of the boy to bring him to prison.
The boy will stay with the group for the tenure of his rehabilitation. The facility will have work and learning programs.
Work programs will be community based, i.e. cleaning the parks or collecting rubbish in the marketplace. The community should be educated as well to maybe contribute some form of DONATION for the upkept of the facility or maintenance of the boys.
The boys, of course, will recieve no pay for the entirety of their tenure.
The facility will organize with the DepEd that teachers-on-training will spend so much time in the facility to teach the kids as like in the regular school. The facility will see to it that the work program will not get in the way of the learning schedule. Perhaps two days work and three days at school.
I'll stop here at the moment and perhaps we could expound a bit more on some details.
You both take care and more power to you.

Bert

PS.
It won't be easy to campaign for donations if people or organizations will know that you don't have a program or procedure what to do.
Bert

Tonnete,

regarding the letter of Atty Eric Mallonga, i understand na one of the factors na kailangan ay manpower and financial support.

i already got one reply from PI. They are giving support sa Batang Kalinga, through their members din. Periodically, they hold Christian medical outreach program. I asked them if they can partake on this endeavor. Iyong batang kalinga, they accept orphans through DSWD na nakita ko diyan sa info sa baba.

They will have their meeting on saturday. Isasama na rin nila sa agenda itong mga children behind bars.

any ideas about informations that i could give to them? they are based sa manila din. ok lang kayang i forward ko kaya sa kanila ang letter ni Att. Mallonga? Baka mga magkakakilala na sila.

:)

Late na late na ako sa sagot ko rito Adechan... pasensiya ka na. By all means, please relay necessary info sis.

Sana malaman natin kung may mga facility o resource sa bawat DSWD rehab center na puwede nating matulungan like pagdagdag ng kama o pagbili man lang ng double decker o supply ng pagkain sa umpisa, para makalabas lang iyung mga batang preso kasama ang matatandang nakakulong... etong step na ito lang sana Adechan sa umpisa.

Hi Friend! Here we have an update from Donna (our Philippine link) regarding the present needs of the rehab center where imprisoned kids could be transferred. We hope to receive the complete message of the chief of the Program Management Board of DSWD this week. This is for your information. We believe that rehab centers are available but lacking the facility to house more children. Our suggestion is not to construct a building but to maximize the resources that we could handle. There are many rehab centers of DSWD... one of them appeared to be crowded but with creativity and some imagination, it could include more children. That is, we can just include more tables, more chairs, more beds, more furnitures to accommodate more kids.

What do you think? Let's keep each other posted... our moves are very slow but hopefully, we could make it.

Regards.

Dear Tonyang,

Thank you for your concern over our children at the Youth Detention home in Camp Bagong Diwa Taguig City. As of March 31, 2006 there are already 226 children housed in the said center.

As to your offer to provide furnitures to complete the lacking fixtures in the center, please be informed that UNICEF has already provided said fixtures as of this writing. The pressing need of the center are heavy duty, washing machines with dryers for them to have clean clothes everyday, hence prevent them from getting skin diseases such as scabies.

You may communicate thru this e-mail address for information on how you could extend your help. The office landline # is 951-7438 or at Telefax 951-2801.

Thank you and more power to your organization.

Salamat, Ayumi. Matagal na tayong naghihintay ng sagot ng DSWD at certainly, ayaw nating magbigay ng pera lang. Kasi kahit maliit na malilikom natin, gusto nating siguraduhin na pupunta ito sa mga batang preso. Pakiclik itong link para sa video

Mabuhay rin ang katulad mo na naniniwala pa at puwedeng magtiwala dahil may pagasa pa.

haay...sana imbes na ikulonh itong mga bata na ito...dalhin nalang sa DSWD et bigyan ng free education at mga LIVELIHOOD projects.....

Sila pa naman ang isa sa mga Pag-asa ng Pilipinas tapos ganito lang ang mangyayari.
Hindi solusyon ang pagpapakulong sa kanila.
