Help prevent Child Labor!

Child Labor is one of the many concerns in the province of Lanao del Sur particularly Marawi City and, most disturbingly one of the most rampant problem we face here in Lanao. we are all aware that every child has the the right to the most basic necessities like a healthy environment, formal education that they will be using as they are going to treasure the will of the Almighty God, amd most importantly a family that cares and confronts. yet, hunger hinders the child to do any of these basic necessities and forces labor in farming fields, selling cellophane in Padian, collecting fare in the Public vehicles, working in the different houses as maids, driving pedicabs, selling different fruits, vegetables and fishes in the different streets of Marawi and peddling in the busy and dangerous streets of the City.

The minimum age for employment in the Philippines is 15 years of age(Child Protection Act of 1992 and RA 9658 amended act 7650) by prohibiting children below 15 years old to work except when family run business.

Chile the Basic laws are in place, there is this lack of an effective mechanism on the part of our government administrator and law enforcers to constantly monitor and implement the child labor laws(http://web.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL?TOPICS)
