The Iloilo City Task Force on Moral and Values Formation (TFMVF) revealed cases have been filed against three parents whose children were found in violation of the nightly curfew, which stretches from 10:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m.

“During the first and second time minors were [rescued], we give notices to their parents, which serves as a warning,” explained TFMVF head Jorge Duron. “[On] the third time that they are rescued, we file cases.”

“As parents, it is your obligation to guide your children,” he added. “When children are properly taken care of and properly guided, they will not engage in conflicts.”

Last year, a total of 1,008 minors were found violating the curfew ordinance.

The city official also offered advice to the minors out past curfew.

“Instead of wandering on the streets, study your lessons and be responsible children,” Duron suggested./WDJ
