HB 2374
House·20th Congress·Filed Jul 28, 2025
An Act Institutionalizing a Magna Carta for Children, Enumerating Their Rights, Providing Realistic Benefits and Mandates for Their Protection and Development, Strengthening Implementation Mechanisms, and for Other Purposes
In plain language
The Magna Carta for Children Act would list children’s rights—like the right to life, education, health care, and participation—and set up programs such as free early‑childhood care, free vaccinations, and barangay‑level child‑protection units. It also creates a new “Seal of Child‑Friendly Local Governance” to reward local governments that meet the standards, and it requires a coordinated plan among national agencies and LGUs, with funding drawn mainly from the Special Education Fund and existing agency budgets.
