Children are crafty creatures. One minute they’re clean, but take your eyes off them for just a second and you’ll find them covered in mystery muck the next.
But while it’s alarming to find your child caked in who-knows-what, believe it or not, it’s actually important for them to do so. Not just because it beefs up their immune system, but also because behind every scraped knee and stained white tee is a discovery.

Voices of Children in Poor Communities

Filipino chanteuse, Regine Velasquez takes time off her busy schedule to examine the issues surrounding "children in need of special protection", a term used by UNICEF to cover all those children in difficult circumstances. They are the abandoned children who need love and shelter. They are the abused children in need of protection from abuse and violence at home. They are the street children - living and/or working on the streets. They are the working little ones who risk life and limb in hazardous work environments. To explore the issues in depth, Regine visited the community in Payatas, one of the biggest garbage dumps in Manila and joined the street educators on the streets of Manila.

Ever thought of adoption?

The government is hoping more potential parents will consider the option of legally adopting children who are in the care of private and public orphanages across the country.

There are 3 kinds of adoption in the Philippines:
•Agency adoptions: A licensed adoption agency identifies and develops adoptive families for children who are voluntarily or involuntarily committed. This is managed either by DSWD or licensed NGOs or child-placing agencies like the Kaisahang Buhay Foundation.
•Family or relative adoptions: The biological parents make a direct placement of the child to a relative.
•Private or independent adoptions: Can be a direct placement to a family known by the child’s biological parents or through someone who arranges family placements.

The DSWD, however, warns of "black markets" or illegal procedures wherein children are given up for adoption in exchange for cash or other means of profit.
