FIRST, ON THE RIGHT OF CHILDREN TO PARTICIPATE:
The Barangay Children's Code provides that our barangay continuously promotes the
rights and welfare of our children. To sustain the past initiatives that we have
started, the child representatives of the Barangay Council for the Protection of
Children (BCPC) participated In the Child Congress, the children were allowed to
experience different activities geared towards obtaining their sentiments and
opinions regarding children's situations and their development.
SECOND, ON THEIR RIGHT TO DEVELOPMENT:
At the core of this right is the implementation of development programs designed to

increase and expand the delivery of basic services with an emphasis on education
benefits and opportunities, especially for children.
THIRD, ON THE RIGHT TO SURVIVAL:
Ensuring the survival of infants is an utmost concern of the barangay.

There is no mortality of infants, Child Mortality, and Maternal Mortality.
On nutrition, there is no underweight.
Infants aged 0-11 months were also vaccinated during barangay visits of the
BHWs on this current year. The Barangay Health Workers and City Health
Office immunization program has benefitted our children who received
Measles Containing Vaccine (MCV) and Tetanus Diphtheria Vaccine (Td).
Enhancing the survival right of children are also conducted through the
advocacy on facility-based birthing and exclusive breastfeeding up to 6
months, giving instructions to children eligible for Vitamin A and iron
supplementation and deworming.
Behind these enhancing survival-right programs are our Barangay Health

Workers (BHWs) and Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNS) who assist
professional health personnel, particularly midwives during healthcare
activities in the barangays.
Meanwhile, the Municipal Civil Registrar's office supplements these programs

by initiating a Free Birth Registration of all identified children-clientele. We
believe that every born child must have a proper registered name. Children
with disabilities are served under the People with Disabilities (PWD) program
of the Office of the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO).
FOURTH, THE RIGHT TO PROTECTION

Fully aware that an effective advocacy campaign will impact barangay
officials, the Local Government Unit has initiated a series of capability-
building seminar workshops on child protection laws and regulations.
As for the future, we fervently hope that our barangay will become a beacon
of encouragement for all to continually create opportunities and innovations
for the promotion and protection of Children's Rights.
I ask for your cooperation and participation as we continue fulfilling our

vision, mission, and goals for our children. We must strive to:
1. Strengthen advocacy for facility-based delivery and exclusive

breastfeeding of infants;
2. Improve the delivery of health, nutrition dental services to children;
3. Address and further lower the prevalence of malnutrition among children
0-59 months old;
4. Provide technical assistance in the functionality of BCPC, including the
establishment of barangay reading, play and recreational areas;
5. Ensure the accreditation of the CDC, thereby increasing the percentage
coverage of children aged 3-4 years old provided with early childhood
care and development services;
6. Capacitate our child-leaders and advocates;
7. Ensure high percentage of birth registration;
8. Decrease the percentage of early pregnancy.
We will further ensure that all policies and plans will be responsive to the
emerging needs of diverse groups of children — from birth to infants, toddlers,
school aged as well as those out-of-school children, malnourished children,
children with disabilities, child laborers, neglected and abused children,
children at risk, and children in conflict with the law.
Indeed, this will be a tough undertaking. However, if we all pool our

commitments, our efforts, we can make things much better for children. We
must remember that if we invest in our children, we invest in our future. Our
children today will be our future — the future of our municipality, of our
society and of our world. So let us all help mold our children into the best
individuals who will eventually share in the task of nation-building and making
a difference in this world.
Thank you and God bless Barangay 33 Cabayo!
