This report highlights both the good practices as well as the gaps faced in the implementation of the instrument. It seeks to cast light on the challenges in terms of policy, programs, and other measures that have been undertaken by the Philippine government to ensure the protection of children who are involved or could be potentially involved in armed conflict.

This report could serve as an advocacy tool that could guide civil society and international governmental organizations to, and even partners in the government in the conduct of constructive dialogue to enhance the implementation of measures for CIAC.
