Abstract:

This research aims to analyze the effectiveness and outcomes of the government's rehabilitation program for children in conflict with the law in Iloilo City, Region 6. This study will utilize a quantitative ap-proach to gather information about the demographic profile and the impact of the government’s rehabilitation program on various stake-holders, including the social workers, barangay officials, house parents, guardians, and the CICL. These respondents were chosen to provide a comprehensive perspective on the rehabilitation program and its challenges, aiming to identify areas for improvement and growth. In collab-oration and partnership with the government and non-government or-ganizations, this rehabilitation center aims to promote quality education through intervention, diversion, and rehabilitation programs and services that seek to address the best interest, welfare, and develop-ment of the children in conflict with the law and children at risks, shaping them into becoming a self-reliant, productive and God-fearing individual, upon reintegration with their families and in the communities.
