Pursuant to the 1987 Constitution, the State

abuse.

manner consistent with the child’s human
dignity, and in conformity with the CRC.

best interest of the child shall be the
paramount consideration in all decisions and
actions involving children, whether public or
private social welfare institutions, courts of law,
administrative authorities, and and legislative
bodies, consistent with the principle of First
Call for Children as enunciated in the CRC.

Teachers and learning facilitators especially in
learning centers are their substitute parents,
and are expected to discharge their functions
and duties with this in mind.
In this connection, the Family code empowers
the school, its administrators and teachers to
exercise the special parental authority and
responsibility over the child, while under their
supervision, instruction or custody.
