Disadvantages of Presidential Decree No.

603 (THE CHILD AND YOUTH WELFARE CODE)


●​ Exemption of Criminal Liability

REASON: Children between nine and 15 years old may also be exempt if they are
unable to extinguish between right and wrong.
●​ 1. Limited resources
REASON:: The implementation of PD 603 requires significant resources, including funding,
personnel, and infrastructure. However, the Philippine government's resources are often
limited, which can hinder the effective implementation of the decree.
●​ Lack of awareness
REASON: : Many Filipinos, particularly in rural areas, may not be aware of the provisions
and benefits of PD 603. This lack of awareness can lead to underutilization of services and
benefits intended for children and youth.
●​ Inadequate institutional capacity
REASON: :The implementation of PD 603 requires strong institutional capacity, including
trained social workers, counselors, and other professionals. However, the Philippines may
not have sufficient institutional capacity to effectively implement the decree.
●​ Cultural and social barriers
REASON: :The implementation of PD 603 may be hindered by cultural and social barriers,
such as the stigma associated with seeking help for child welfare and protection issues.
●​ 5. Limited access to services
REASON: :The implementation of PD 603 may be limited by the lack of access to services,
particularly in rural and disadvantaged areas. This can lead to unequal distribution of benefits
and services.
●​ 6. Bureaucratic delays
REASON: :The implementation of PD 603 may be slowed down by bureaucratic delays,
including lengthy processes for approving funding and hiring personnel.
●​ 7. Lack of coordination
REASON: :The implementation of PD 603 requires coordination among different government
agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). However, this coordination may be
lacking, leading to duplication of efforts and inefficient use of resources.
●​ 8. Insufficient data and monitoring
REASON: :The implementation of PD 603 requires accurate data and monitoring to assess
its effectiveness. However, the Philippines may not have sufficient data and monitoring
systems in place.
●​ These are just some of the disadvantages of implementing PD 603 in the Philippines.
Addressing these challenges is crucial to ensuring the effective implementation of the decree
and promoting the welfare and protection of children and youth in the country.

WHO WAS TO BLAME?


The setbacks of this PD is inevitable, however Government should take measures and be
accountable for the lack of sufficient funding of the programs of the said law. Government
agencies such as DSWD, DOJ, LGU’s and other agencies should maximize their resources (like
facilities and infrastructures) and implement the law with theit utmost capacity. Despite of that,
the parents should also take part on molding their children to be a better individual to contribute
as a productive citizen. As an individual, it is our duty and respond to adhere and obey laws. We
must and we need to unite and make a collaborative effort to implement these laws
