In a landmark moment for child participation and leadership in governance, Marinhel, 16 years old, Educo Philippines’ very own Child Representative, has officially taken her oath as the Child Basic Sector Representative to the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC).
Jillian, a dedicated child rights advocate of Educo Philippines, recently joined fellow advocates from nine Southeast Asian countries in the Regional Consultation on the 2nd ASEAN Plan of Action to Eliminate Violence Against Children (2026–2035) held in Indonesia last May 2025. The consultation brought together children and young leaders from across the ASEAN region to directly contribute to shaping a safer, more inclusive, and child-centered Southeast Asia.
