Dear Ms. Hazel Marie M. Flores,

You requested for data on the following “Number of Children in Conflict with the Law in each region of the Philippines”.

Unfortunately, the DSWD does not have the information you need. Thus, we are constrained to deny your request.

Under Republic Act 10630 (the “Juvenile Justice Welfare Act”), the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council (JJWC) oversees the implementation of the law. They may have the data you need. Hence, you may wish to direct your request to the JJWC.

Very Truly Yours,

Carlo Florendo C. Castro
