BCPC Training

“Reengineering and Retooling the Council amidst COVID19”

An Activity Design

1. Rationale

The Barangay Council for the Protection of Children (BCPC) is one of the primary
barangay-based institutions that should be organized by the barangay officials as they
implement their priority programs and projects for the protection and welfare of their
children.

Catbalogan City, being the center of trading in the province of Samar, is confronted with
issues and problems on children especially now under Modified General Quarantine
because of COVID19. Mainly, the BCPC has to be oriented, realistic and responsive on
their role and functions to be able to plan out programs and policies to protect the rights
of the children in their respective barangays. And this is basically the rationale why the
CCPC has to orient the members of the BCPC.
.
2. Legal Basis

The State shall defend the right of children to assistance, including proper care and
nutrition, and special protection from all forms of neglect, abuse, cruelty, exploitation,
and other conditions prejudicial to their development. (1987 Philippine Constitution,
Art. XV, sec. 3.)

The various DILG MCs emphasize the importance of the LCPC. In general, the LCPC
is crucial in sustaining the national efforts in the localization of the Philippine
National Strategic Framework Plan Development for Children or Children 21, which is
a roadmap for planning programs and interventions meant to promote and safeguard
the rights of Filipino Children.

3. Objectives

At the end of the session, participants will be able to:

a) Discuss the reasons behind the global concern and commitment to the protection
of children;

b) Explain the principles and the rights of a child as well as the responsibilities of a
state and its citizens to promote advocacy and action on behalf of children, and

c) Activate and strengthen the already organized LCPC in this time of pandemic.

4. Methodology

The orientation uses a combination of methods as means of promoting open, candid and
meaningful sharing of ideas and insights in an interesting manner.

Most sessions use the presentation and interactive discussion in tandem. This entails a
full or a short lecture on a particular topic, presented interactively. Also, videos,
workshops and structures learning activities or SLEs such as role play, exercise, etc.
However, consideration for participants’ needs must be within what is realistic vis-à-vis
the objectives of the activity.

5. Resource Persons/Presenters/Facilitators & Secretariat

The City Council for the Protection of Children (CCPC) will be the front actors of the
orientation to handle a lecture or facilitate a workshop who has a working knowledge of
the topic and the skills in handling group sessions in a learning setting.

6. Orientation Schedule
