Emma Medalla Santillan, director of the Salvatorian Pastoral Care for Children in Cebu, facilitates a child rights and safeguarding formation session for young participants. For child protection advocates, this incident shows how education can empower children not only to recognize abuse but also to seek help. In response, SPCC developed formation programs focused on child rights, protection and advocacy. Yet even as awareness has improved, child protection advocates warn that new threats have emerged. Baguinon recalled one case involving a minor parish youth leader who disclosed a relationship with a priest during a child rights formation session.
