The song entitled “Kwento ng Pagbabago,” a Rap genre, talked about the story of CICLs’ hope for change and understanding of their worth. Another song entitled “Aking Pagbabago Alay Ko Saýo,” a contemporary Christian genre, talked about seeking and recognizing God and addressing to the Almighty Father all the frustrations, fears, sufferings, and hope of a CICL. The last composition, a pop song entitled “Binago Nýo ang Buhay Ko” talked about how DSWD and JJWC have helped the CICLs as they go through the process of rehabilitation including the change of how they look at their own lives.

The children in conflict with the law were encouraged to write original song compositions that focused on HOPE and CHANGE. The criteria include musicality, lyrics, melody, and relevance to the theme. ###
