The Program

When Japan passed the B.R. Act, the whole world was stunned. How could a nation that is known for its progressiveness and peace subject its youth to a fate akin to slaughterhouse victims? The global community erupted in outrage over the apparent dehumanization of young lives. Surprisingly, as the bill demonstrated effectiveness in curbing truancy and delinquency, other nations adopted similar measures, albeit not without opposition.

Enter the Philippines, one of the last remaining countries who refused to enforce the B.R. Act, arguing that it violated human rights to sentence 16-year-old students to death. However, facing a wave of riots and escalating crime rates, the president reached a breaking point. In a display of authority, he resolved to implement the B.R. Act.

40 Junior High students from Gen. Carlos Mariano High School were chosen to participate in the 1st ever Program in the Philippines.
