Anne Curtis and Dingdong Dantes air dismay over lowered age of criminal liability

Dingdong meanwhile insisted that the government should focus on creating an enabling environment for children than criminalizing them.

“Agree ako sa iyo, @ChelDiokno! Crucial stage ang childhood and adolescence to one’s development. These are periods where psychological, emotional, social and physical aspects are strongly influenced by the surroundings and are formed.”

“2…. Instead of focusing on criminalizing children, the government should invest more on creating an enabling environment that will allow young people to be productive members of the society,” he added.

In the said bill, children from 9 years old to 17 years old will be deemed criminally liable for an offense if they acted with discernment and will be placed in a youth care facility if found to be dependent, abandoned, neglected or abused by the parents.
