Karapatan ng bawat Pilipino ang malinis na hangin.

Hindi lang ang naninigarilyo o nagva-v**e ang naaapektuhan ng usok. Apektado rin ang ating mga bata, buntis, senior citizen, manggagawa, at lahat ng gumagamit ng pampublikong lugar.

Kaya isinusulong natin ang House Bill No. 9603 o ang Smoke-Free and Vape-Free Environment Act. Palalakasin nito ang pagpapatupad ng smoke-free at v**e-free policies sa mga pampublikong lugar, pampublikong sasakyan, at mga lugar ng trabaho, kasabay ng mas mahigpit na regulasyon, mas mabigat na parusa sa mga lalabag, at suporta sa mga maaapektuhang maliliit na vendor.

Mas malinis na hangin. Mas ligtas na komunidad. Mas malusog na Pilipinas.

PANOORIN: Kabataan, nanawagan na ipasa ang Smoke-Free and Vape-Free Environment Bill.

Noong Hunyo 2 sa Quezon City Government, nagsama-sama ang mga kabataan, advocates, at lokal na pamahalaan para sa screening ng TobaccOFF Now! youth films, mga kuwentong tumatalakay sa to***co at va**ng epidemic sa Pilipinas.

Nagsilbi rin ang pagtitipon bilang solidarity event para sa bagong inihain na House Bill 9603 o ang Smoke-Free and Vape-Free Environment Bill, na pangunahing inakda at isinusulong ni PLCPD House of Representatives Chairperson Cong. Krisel Lagman.

Layunin ng panukalang batas na protektahan ang publiko, lalo na ang mga bata, mula sa usok ng sigarilyo at v**e sa lahat ng pampublikong espasyo at lugar ng trabaho.

Sa iba't ibang lungsod at lalawigan, napatunayan nang epektibo at kayang ipatupad ang matitibay na smoke-free at v**e-free policies. Panahon na para iangat ito bilang pambansang polisiya upang maprotektahan ang kalusugan ng LAHAT ng Pilipino.

Pangunahin sa mga nananawagan para rito ang mga kabataan na kabilang sa pinakaapektado ng usok mula sa sigarilyo at v**e sa mga pampublikong lugar. Pakinggan natin ang kanilang panawagan.

BRAIN SCIENCE BEHIND JUVENILE JUSTICE

Why is the age of criminal responsibility set at 15 under Philippine law?

On , Atty. Tricia Clare Oco, Executive Director of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council (JJWC), explained that the law is based on brain science—not a random number.

She said that while teenagers can already experience strong emotions, the part of the brain responsible for reason, judgment, and impulse control fully develops much later, usually between ages 22 and 25.

According to Oco, this is why children need proper guidance and support. She also shared that lawmakers considered different age proposals before agreeing on 15 under the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act.

"There is a pathway to violence.

And it starts with young people feeling that there is something unjust happening to them. They're feeling ostracized, excluded… you're feeling excluded and experiencing all these intense emotions and intrusive thoughts. Wala ka pang full capacity to regulate your emotions and think in a rational, logical way, and you're exposed to these online elements. So often, there is a turning point when a young person seeks violent action. It's possible that this is a way to recover some sense of control when they feel powerless and feel that so many forces are pushing on them...

Hindi siya one time, one cause. May backdrop, may history, may developmental issues, may konteksto bago dumating sa puntong they commit the violent act.

This is not to minimize the harm they've done. Totoong napakagrabe, napakasakit ng nangyari. This is not to minimize that, but to clarify and explain that the way a young person thinks is different from the way an adult thinks. The vulnerabilities of young people are different…

May pinagdadaanan ang mga kabataan, and that's what can lead them to violent behavior."
