Child labor is a pressing issue that needs immediate attention. In the Philippines, an estimated 2.1 million children are engaged in child labor (Philippine Statistics Authority). This includes our town of Angono, Rizal where many children are forced to work under hazardous conditions instead of being in school. These children are deprived of their basic rights to education and a safe environment.

Child labor not only hampers the physical and mental development of these young individuals but also perpetuates the cycle of poverty within their families and communities. It's time we put an end to this grave injustice.

We urge local authorities in Angono, Rizal to enforce stricter regulations against child labor and ensure that all children have access to quality education. We also call upon our fellow citizens to report instances of child labor and support initiatives aimed at eradicating this issue.

Let's stand together for the rights of every child in Angono, Rizal. Sign this petition today!
