CRN, an alliance of organizations and agencies pushing for children’s rights, pleaded the DSWD to hold the children in the agency’s facility instead of being kept at an undisclosed “safe house.”CRN expressed deep concern for the Lumad children who were taken by members of the PNP from the Talamban Campus of the University of San Carlos in Cebu City on allegations that they were engaged in “warfare training.
It pointed out that Chapter 7 of the law states that the CSAC “shall at all times be treated in a child-friendly and sensitive manner,” no matter what operation is being conducted. It lamented that the police operation in Talamban allegedly did not abide by the provisions of the law. There was even no coordination between the police and the local government, it claimed.
