BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Street children's issues and juvenile delinquency issues are closely related to societal
issues. You nearly must become a criminal to survive on the streets. Children who are
exposed to criminal elements are more likely to engage in prostitution, abuse drugs and
commit crimes. Most street kids have either forced themselves into being juvenile
offenders because they are destitute or out of desperation (because of the syndicates).
Young people on the streets are vilified and criminalized despite committing no visible
crimes. Numerous street children were imprisoned according to vagrancy rules because
of street cleaning at the beginning of the tourist season.
The Batangas province's coastline region is the landlocked municipality of Talisay.
The municipality makes up 0.91% of Batangas' total area with a land area of 28.20
square kilometers or 10.89 square miles. According to the results of the 2020 Census,
it has 46,238 residents. This amounted to 1.59% of Batangas province's entire
population or 0.29% of the entire CALABARZON region's population. According to
these numbers, the population density is calculated to be 1,640 people per square
kilometer or 4,246 people per square mile.
The population of Talisay grew from 5,657 in 1903 to 46,238 in 2020, an increase of
40,581 people over the course of 117 years. The latest census figures in 2020 denote a
growth rate of 0.43%, or an increase of 937 people, from the previous population of
