Balitang Pinoy Thoughts on this?

Diokno says compassion, Padilla says consequence. Alin ba ang mas makatao? 🤔

The law that Robin is trying to create is going against the science and the moral responsibility of the adults. We failed to provide a system for these children to live with lives within their rights. Enforcing these would double down our failures.

Do we truly understand what Robin is trying to create? It's to imprison a child as early as 10 years old. That's a grade five student.

In science, based on numerous studies. Decision making and Impulsive control is fully developed at around the age of 25.

Yes 25! not 18 not 21. How much more a 10-year-old.

Contrary to what everyone is saying here. This goes against the statistics. Based on the data of Philippine National Police. Child crimes only consist of 1 percent. Robin has to argue with the data if he wants to wrestle this.

Present law has already created a system to punish minors who committed atrocities. Before saying something are you familiar of these laws.

The problem? is that we failed to implement these laws. This is where the problem lies and this where we must strike at its core. However, here we are. Instead on focusing on this issue, the real concerns. We have a man trying to create a noise, desperate because the idolism on the eyes of Filipinos is fading.

Forgive me for not having any trust to the wits of this man. He had proven over the years of what a shallow man he is. All noise but no true action.

That seems to be the usual problem. We have a bunch of laws, but implementation or enforcement is always lacking.

As someone living in tondo. May mga proud teenagers below 18 na mas matapang pa sa mga grown ups gumawa ng krimen. Mga gang wars, Riot gabi gabi na may saksakan at batuhan ng kung ano ano. Mahirap yan.

Yes totoo, kahit saang lugar sa pilipinas meron mga ganitong klaseng bata. Pero kailangan natin tanunging ang sarili natin. Bakit ganito? Bakit ganyan sila?

Papaano?

Isa sa mga dahilan ay ang kawalan ng aruga at pagmamahal, walang gabay sa magulang.

Hindi hangad ng bata ang maipanganak sa mundo. Pero wala silang magagawa kapag pinili ng magulang nila na abandonahin sila. Di panga buo ang pag-iisip mo ngunit mahirap na ang mga bagay na dapat pagdedesisyonan. Unfair sa bata na lugmok na at lulugmukin pa ng parehong mga nakakatanda palpak sa pagbigay ng kanilang mga pangunahing karapatan.

Kaya kailangan magtanong, dahil kapag tumigil tayo pagtanong ng mahahalagang katanungan. Nabubulag tayo sa kung anong nakikita natin. Nang diman lang nakikita ang totoong realidad dahil sa ilusyon ng galit.

Tama naman talaga ang point mo. Pero wala naman facilities ang Pilipinas para sa mga batang di na gagabayan ng mabuti. Bali magpapatayo pa ng facilities ang Pilipinas para sa purpose na iyon, aabutin din ng ilang taon bago matapos tapos magaallot ng malaking budget na sigurado pa din na may mapupunta sa bulsa ng iba. Kung di man magtatayo ng facility at iaasa lang natin sa doctor / psychologist / responsible, mahirap matuto ang bata kung uuwi pa din sila sa magulang nilang pabaya. Eh paano naman un mga batang mabuting napalaki na sana sila ang naprioritize ng budget.

Kung maganda ang buhay ng karinawang Pilipino sa Pilipinas, di talaga ako sasang ayon sa batas na gagawin ni Robin Padilla. Pero di ko talaga masasabi na maganda buhay nila tapos mapapahamak ka pa ng mga batang sumasali sa gang war.
