AdDLAW was recently invited by Cabantian Elementary School to conduct a seminar on laws protecting children’s rights at home and in school.

The seminar provided parents with critical insights on the legal implications of bullying, online sexual exploitation, and other forms of abuse, alongside practical steps for addressing these issues through legal channels. Teachers were also oriented on their responsibilities in the academe and guided on the proper procedures for filing complaints.

The event offered valuable lessons for both parents and educators, reinforcing the shared role of the community in protecting children.

Key topics discussed:
• RA 10627 – Anti-Bullying Act of 2013
• RA 11930 – Anti-OSAEC and CSAEM Act
• RA 7610 – Special Protection of Children Against Child Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination Act

This Women’s Month, we celebrate the Supreme Court’s ruling in the case of Garcia v. Drilon (G.R. 179267), a landmark affirmation that Republic Act 9262 protects women’s rights, safety, and dignity. The decision underscores that justice is not abstract; it is a promise to hold perpetrators accountable and to empower women to live free from violence, discrimination, and fear."
