Dear Mr. Kivmar Pamintuan,

You requested for information on the following: “(1) Number of operational juvenile center or the bahay pag-asa (Government and NGO); and (2) Location of non operational juvenile center or the bahay pag-asa.”

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 by submitting a request to them via this portal. You may also contact them by telephone at 921-0565 or via email at [email protected].


Very Truly Yours,
