Interviews with five social workers and house parents highlighted several critical areas for improvement at the MIMAROPA Youth Center, which serves Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL). The physical facilities are in need of infrastructural modifications and additional security measures to ensure the safety and accommodation of these youth. Furthermore, there is a pressing need for more active and trained staff to effectively manage programs and uphold safety standards. While the youth center has sufficient annual funding allocated for rehabilitation programs, delays in financial planning over the past two years have hindered progress. The center also benefits from financial support provided by the local government unit, which contributes one-third of the daily expenses for CICL, alongside minimal donations and assistance from various non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
