    The 12 Rights of Filipino Children

    1. Every child has the right to be born well.


    It is the responsibility of the parents to make sure they can provide a safe environment for
    their unborn child. This includes proper medical attention and care from conception, birth,
    and throughout childhood years in a newborn services unit or pediatric center.

    2. Every child has the right to a wholesome family life.


    The child’s first learning environment and teachers are their home and family. They are
    entitled to be a part of a loving family that will instill ethical values and morals in them.

    3. Every child has the right to be raised well and become contributing members of society.
    By raising them in a safe and loving environment, parents and guardians can shape the
    personalities of their young to be useful and contributing members of their respective
    communities when they grow older.

    4. Every child has the right to basic needs.


    The four basic needs of people outlined in the law are as follows: a balanced diet,
    adequate clothing, sufficient shelter, and proper healthcare. This also includes any other
    requirements to lead a healthy and active life.

    5. Every child has the right to access what they need to have a good life.
    This right goes beyond the basic needs and focuses more on the atmosphere of the place
    they will be raised in. A child’s needs must always be attended to so they feel the support
    of people around them, which in turn will build and strengthen their character in adulthood
    .
    6. Every child has the right to education.
    In an ideal world, every child should have the means to go to a classroom and have access
    to books and learning materials that can enrich their intelligence and skills.

    7. Every child has the right to play and enjoy their youth.
    Children have the right to engage in wholesome recreational activities whenever they wish
    and not be exploited for events that are deemed only for adults to do, i.e., intensive manual
    labor.

    8. Every child has the right to be protected from danger.


    This includes all hazards that could affect their physical, mental, and emotional states,
    such as removing them from dangerous living situations, preventing them from getting into
    accidents, or protecting them from the abuse of adults, to name a few.

    9. Every child has the right to live in a productive environment.


    Children should be surrounded by safe communities that inspire them to give back when
    they are older. This means staying away from bad influences and situations that can cause
    harm to their health.

    10. Every child has the right to be cared for in the absence of their parent or guardian.
    If the parent or guardian fails to fulfill their role, the State shall assume custody and care for
    the child, providing them with their fundamental needs for growth and development.

    11. Every child has the right to good governance.


    Children also have a right to be born under the presence of good governance that can
    inspire them to become a helpful and active citizen. This doesn’t necessarily mean they
    have to get involved with politics but rather have an interest in being involved in political
    discussions for the betterment of their country.

    12. Every child has the right to freedom and peace.


    Last but not the least, every child is entitled to do whatever they want in their lives, so long
    as it contributes to the peace and betterment of the communities they are a part of.
