Anti-child abuse measures readied
LINGAYEN – Concerned about the rising number of child abuse and exploitation in Pangasinan, the provincial government will soon launch a more specific program on child health care and development.
Provincial Social Welfare and Development Officer Emilio Samson said Gov. Victor Agbayani will spearhead the program that will institute measures to address the issue of child abuse and exploitation.
Being planned for implementation is a three-year program seeking among others to conduct training in early child care and case management on child and women abuse and exploitation that will be supported by the Council for the Welfare of Children based in Manila.
Samson said at least five municipalities will be chosen by the province as pilot areas. These will be chosen according to their malnutrition rate, cases of school drop-out and cases of abused children.
The proposed program complements the various programs of the provincial government serving the interest of the Pangasinan youth that are already in place.
Among these are the ‘Kalusugan sa Barangay’, provincial scholarship program, Camp Victory Pangasinan, ‘Sumbong Musmos’, Operation Dagdag Timbang’ and others. (PNA)

I would love to be a part of this program. I would be going home soon and am willing to share my knowledge on these topics. I believe that children are gifts from God. They need to be loved, protected and cared for by we,the adults. But it is sad that the adults who are supposed to be protecting those children, are the one's who are abusing them. I would love to start a campaign against child abusers, or, to raise awareness on this very delicate subject.
