“If we really want to stop violence against women and children (VAWC), it starts with us.” Pasig City Mayor Vico said this during his State of the Children Address on Monday, Nov. 28, culminating the celebration of National Children’s Month.

“If we really want to stop violence against women and children , it starts with us.”

“Kailangan rin po na pag may nakita o narinig tayo na kapitbahay natin binubugbog ang asawa o anak, sana po ay hindi tayo manahimik lamang. Kung magbibingi-bingihan o magbubulag-bulagan tayo, hindi po matatapos ang problemang ito ,” Sotto added. Sotto reported there are 102 children in conflict with the law , 96 of which are male, logged in Pasig City as of 2022. In 2021, there were 151 CICLs with 62 classified as “children-at-risk.”

Based on the central police station’s records, Sotto said there were 140 VAWC cases from January to September 2022, 68 of which involved minors. Eight of the 68 were CICLs. He also mentioned the case of a child sold by one of his parents for P45,000 to pay their E-sabong debts last March. With the police, NBI, CSWD, the child was found and is now safe. The three buyers were arrested and jailed.

There may not be very high levels of human and child trafficking in Pasig, but Sotto remained firm in fighting these crimes, saying “one case is too many.”Despite the areas for improvement in the local government’s efforts to stop cases of VAWC, Sotto said Pasigueño children are “in good hands.”
