Enacted on April 28, 2006, the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act requires the national, regional, and local government to develop, review and implement a three to five-year CLJIP to prevent juvenile delinquency and to rehabilitate, reintegrate and prevent reoffending of those who have come into conflict with the law. Participants from Regions 3, 8, 10 and the National Capital Region have prepared and presented an action plan for the conduct of TOT to the provinces so the LGUs will be capacitated to formulate their own CBJIP. #DSWDMayMalasakit
