Child Exploitation Issues
.
The Bukidnon community has been identified by the organisation
Bantay Bata 163 Bacolod, as an at risk community for child
trafficking and child sexual exploitation. As a precaution to these
risks a child protection plan and quick response team is being
incorporated into project ‘CCC’ to educate the community and local
and foreign tourists about child exploitation issues.

!
Number of Target Participants: 50
Workshop Phases
Phase 1: Project Spiral
12 step pre-business planning and
creative ethics development.
Objective: To enable the community to
develop a creative, ethical and useful
outline for their own social business
start-ups.
Includes musical and artistic activities.
Phase 2: Detailed Product/Service
Development and Business Planning
Objective: To educate and assist the
community in creating a business plan
for their own social businesses.
Includes business planning & transfer of
project spiral in collaboration with local
business students, and relaxation
methods.
Implementation:
Our objectives can be achieved through the
implementation of social entrepreneurial (Social
Business) workshops; thereby creating a community
of organisations that can support one another, with
the facilitation of key bodies’ creative and social
entrepreneurial skills. Workshops, which will be
developed in partnership with Dr. Divina M. Edralin,
will provide skills to organisations and local
communities and will cover topics including
innovation, leadership, action learning, reflection,
engagement strategies, management, marketing,
administration, finance & social return on investment,
pitching and presentation.
Community Cultural Development tools and
processes (community development that incorporates
important ethical practices such as cultural
consciousness and working with indigenous
communities) will be used throughout implementation.
Skills gained through workshops can be incorporated
into organisations’ artistic and therapeutic activities
already in operation and into new community projects.
Programs to incorporate into project CCC’s pilot:
Livelihood project with the Bukidnon Cultural
Community in Sitio Sibato, Silay City, Province of
Negros Occidental; Maximizing the use of indigenous
materials found in their surroundings by transforming
them into products such as baskets and blinds. A lack
of funding resulted in the project’s closure. ‘Bantay
Bata 163’ would like to continue, and believe that the
partnership with Nomadic Hands will be of great help.
Phase 3: Eco-Village Launch
To create a sustainable eco-village,
where products and services can be
sold to local and international clientele.
Community incentives
A ‘Food for Work’ project is planned for the duration of
the community workshops. At the completion of their
workshop program, participants will be reimbursed
with food for the meals they required during their
attendance.!

Past and Upcoming Activities
During October and November 2010 consultations began between Nomadic Hands and Anti Child
Labor organisations throughout the Philippines. Bantay Bata 163, Bacolod and Nomadic Hands
initiated a partnership.
In November 2011 consultations within the
Bukidnon indigenous community took place. A
need for environmental protection, cultural
rejuvenation and economic development was
identified. The development of creative social
entrepreneurial workshops commenced with
assistance from Dr. Divina Edralin, Full
Professor at the Business Management
Department, College of Business De La Salle
University Manila, Philippines.
In January 2012 practical demonstrations of creative social entrepreneurial workshops were held
were held for Bantay Bata and the Bukidnon community, in Sitio Sibato with a local musician.
On the 6th of February 2012 a community building workshop and cultural performance took place
within the community, in relation to relevant social business education.
In March 2012 Approximately 20 Bantay Bata staff members, who will be contributing assistance to
running the community workshops, will be offered a three-day intensive training about creative social
entrepreneurialism. This will give staff the knowledge to run workshops in the local language.
From April to May 2012 Music and art appreciation classes will be held in the community.
Creative classes including drumming, singing, dancing song writing and painting will be offered to the
community two weekends per month as part of an effort to both encourage family participation, and to
regenerate the loss of culture within the community including dialects and rituals. Particular emphasis
will be placed upon reconnecting community elders with children for the hand-down preservation of
culture through the generations.

Dear Ms. Francis,
Warm greetings from ABS-CBN Foundation, Inc.- Bantay Bata 163 Negros!
Thank you for considering ABS-CBN Foundation, Inc. – Bantay Bata 163 Negros to be your partner in your
proposed “Project Connect, Collaborate, Combat”, the purpose of which is to empower communities in the
Philippines, specifically the adopted communities of our Foundation located in different areas of the Province
of Negros Occidental, to reduce the worst forms of child labor and other social issues that they are facing, in a
sustainable manner. Child labor is prevalent in our province and your proposed project can help contribute in
stopping this vicious cycle.
Aside from its Direct Child Assistance Program, which includes Medical Assistance Program for Indigent
Children and Legal Assistance Program for Children Who are Victims of Abuse, and, Community Outreach
Program which includes Medical & Dental Missions, Surgical Missions, Supplemental Feeding Program and
Art Workshops for Children Who are Victims of Abuse, Bantay Bata 163 Negros is also very active in its
awareness campaign on child abuse, conducting trainings and workshops for partners, in communities and
schools as well as Street Education. Sessions on Responsible Parenthood, Parenting Skills, Health and
Nutrition as well as Livelihood Seminars are also being given to parents and other stakeholders in several
communities.
The Social Entrepreneurial Workshop that Nomadic Hands has proposed will be of great help to our
communities that have needs for this. We believe in teaching them skills and in imparting them with
knowledge that would sustain them even if we or any other organization will move on to help other
communities. These will make them independent, good decision-makers as well as problem-solvers; life skills
that will enable them to face life’s challenges.
We are looking forward to a fruitful partnership with Nomadic Hands. If you have questions, please do not
hesitate to contact me at +639052365808 and cs. diamante@yahoo.com.ph.
Once again, thank you and more power.
Very truly yours,

Dear Ms. Francis,
Greetings of peace!
First of all, allow me to express our appreciation for your visit and for
giving us a glimpse of the different advocacies that your organization,
Nomadic Hands, is into.
We are happy to note that both our organizations have similar
advocacies and engagements.
The Social Action Center being the hallmark of the church’s involvement
in the life of the poor in the Diocese reaches out to its people with the
goal of making an impact in the formation of social conscience by
promoting programs that create social awareness and coordinated
responses to social issues. It is also hoped that by allowing the poor to
become co-workers in the social transformation.
Nomadic Hands has shown us the different programs that it engages in
and we are pleased to learn that it has a lot of commonalities with the
Social Action Center that we fully support.
We hope we can join forces in certain areas of engagement especially
where human rights and ecological issues are concerned.
We are hopeful that this cooperation between our organizations aimed
to collaborate in opening fair trade links between the Philippines and
Australia and reduce child labor problems especially the worst forms of
child labor here in Negros.
There is so much to be done and the challenges seem to be
overwhelming but with the cooperation and sincere efforts of all
stakeholders, our lives and that of our oppressed brothers and sisters
will be improved.
We fervently hope we can work together in finding ways to make this
world a better place.
Sincerely Yours,

To Whom it may concern,
Union Aid Abroad – APHEDA endorses the project Connect, Collaborate, Combat by Nomadic
Hands which combats child labour in the Philippines.
Child labour in the Philippines is a serious problem which requires urgent action. It is depriving
many hundreds of thousands of children of their childhood and the chance of an education.
Union Aid Abroad – APHEDA has a long history of working to overcome child labour in the
Philippines, our first project was with children working in the sugar plantations in 1989, and
today we assist a project focussing on child workers in Manila’s garbage dumps.
Given our long experience in child labour issues, I have no hesitation in endorsing the Connect,
Collaborate, Combat project by Nomadic Hands for your support.
Yours sincerely,
