HB 3137

In plain language

The proposed Magna Carta of Children would create a single law that guarantees every child in the Philippines the right to life, health, education, a clean environment, protection from abuse and child labor, and the ability to be heard in decisions that affect them. It would set up a new Philippine Commission on Children, a Child Ombudsman, and require all government agencies and private entities to follow child‑rights standards.
