Opposition Senator Risa Hontiveros is proposing a Senate inquiry on the DSWD's issuance of a cease and desist order against a private orphanage in Quezon City. | MAgerINQ
“According to GHI, the actions of the DSWD were traumatizing for the children, many of whom already suffer from the wounds of abandonment and abuse,” Hontiveros said in the resolution.
“While the safety and adequacy of living standards are important concerns, it is also important to determine whether or not the correct processes were followed in the removal of the children from a child care facility subject to a CDO, and whether or not these processes are informed by the best interests of the child doctrine,” the senator stressed.
