News Rehab centers may bow under additional child custody
MANILA - Reform centers may not not be able to accommodate a possible surge of underage offenders if lawmakers approve a bill lowering the age of criminal liability, the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Council (JJWC) said Thursday. President Rodrigo Duterte sought the proposed law to further extend his deadly crackdown on drugs and crime, which has killed thousands since mid-2016.
