CHILD EMPOWERMENT FRAMEWORK
In line with its vision, Virlanie strives to empower its children and young adults
for a brighter future. Empowerment is a process that begins as soon as the
child or young adult is welcomed in one of the Virlanie Homes and continues
until he eventually moves out of Virlanie through family reunification, adoption,
foster care or independent living. Each stage of the empowerment process
is based on three poles: social work, education and psychology. These work
hand in hand to strategically guide the development of each child.

Design

Discovery
Virlanie ensures that the self-reliance and independence of the
children starts earlier in life. When it is time to move out of
the Foundation, the children are assured that they still have a
family in Virlanie and they will have an upright, productive and
successful integration to society. For the special young adults,
they will be assisted by Virlanie all their lives when no other
option is available.
This is the core of Virlanie’s work: empowerment. At this stage,
Virlanie commits to help its children learn more about themselves
and believe in his/her capacity to reach his/her goal in life. This
encompasses the everyday life of the child in Virlanie: schooling,
social worker and psychologist counseling sessions, therapy, value
formation, spiritual enlightenment and co-curricular activities like
sports, music and other skills training.
The Virlanie team including the social worker, the
houseparents, the psychologists and the teachers will then
formulate the child’s development plan after consultation
and dialogue with one another. The plan involves a range
of services designed to help the child develop so s/he may
reach his/her full potential.
This is the stage where Virlanie tries to get to know the child
deeply. The focus is to make a complete profile of the child
and understand his/her past and current situation better.
It is also the time for the child to adjust and discover life in
Virlanie.
Palo Sebo

Palosebo is a game usually played during town fiestas. The objective is
to climb to the top of the greased bamboo pole for the prize.
Residential Program
Virlanie’s residential program cares for children in need of special protection where they are provided
with love and security. Each home is structured like a typical Filipino home with house parents, a mother
and a father, aunts and uncles, and social workers.
The homes are divided into three clusters which are designed for specific needs of the children.

be able to care for themselves and
live productively.

As part of their pre-vocational training,
the children in Aime Home had cooking
activities in the Home. They were able
to cook different kinds of merienda
such as pastillas (sweet milk candies),
polvoron (flour candies), cheesticks,
buko pandan (Filipino dessert with
coconut and pandan leaves), spaghetti
and tuna sandwiches.
In Jade Home, the children’s vocational
skills in candle-making showed positive
results in terms of capability-building
and income-generating potential for
the students. The children were able to
produce candles with good quality in
the last quarter of the year.
Two young adults of Jade Home were
included in the Junior Staff Training
in the Home. In this program, they
experienced having a job as part
of the Home staff such as being a
laundry helper and a kitchen helper.
This experience made them feel more
confident and independent and they
learned how to use their allowance to
buy personal things and keep some for
their savings. Two more young adults
will be trained next year.
Sasara ang
12 Bulaklak
Sasara ang Bulaklak (The Flower Is Closing): The children sing a nursery rhyme while an “it”
is blindfolded in the middle. Once the song ends, the “it” points to a person in the circle and
that person is the next “it”.
Outreach Programs
Through its various Outreach Programs, Virlanie reaches out to children and families in the streets. There
are also programs for poor communities in Metro Manila and the provinces. These programs provide
health, education, housing assistance and other basic services.
The Reception and Action Center (RAC) is a municipal facility that helps street children and street families
rescued from the streets of Manila. The Virlanie team composed of local staff and volunteers provide
medical help and organize recreational activities for the beneficiaries of RAC. In 2012, 35 of the 146 newlyadmitted children were referred from RAC.
The Social Development Center (SDC) is a reception center in Bacolod City that caters to children under
18 years old who need special protection. They are provided with various services such as educational
support, health services etc. Virlanie sent a development team in March 2011 to work on the SDC project
with support from HOST-NGO, a network of skilled professionals. In 2012, 1,317 children and young
adults were admitted in SDC. Three full-time Virlanie volunteers facilitated the implementation of the
rehabilitation program at the SDC.
Description of Programs
The Mobile Unit is a street-based program in Divisoria
that educates children, feeds families, and provides
livelihood opportunities for street mothers.
Virlanie’s Open Day Center in Quiapo welcomes street
families so they can cook, eat, bathe and be together
as a family.
The Family Program equips families in poor communities
in Metro Manila with skills and knowledge to take care
of their children holistically. Balik Probinsya is a project
of the Family Program that helps families in the urban
communities return to their hometowns in the provinces.
The Children’s Legal Rights Office provides minors in
conflict with the law with legal counsel and educational
assistance.
Pampanga Project for Children
In Pampanga, Virlanie works on behalf of AMADE,
an international association for children, to provide
services to children who have diseases and deformities
caused by toxic waste contamination. Thirty one (31)
children were served in 2012. Three (3) children were
included in the top ten of their class.
Tumbang Preso
Tumbang preso is a popular Filipino street game. Players try to knock down empty
tin cans or plastic containers with their slippers and avoid getting caught by the
“it” when they get their slipper.

food, clothes and house supplies to the affected
families. Some families have reconstructed their
homes through the material donations from Cirque
du Soleil while other homes will be reconstructed in
2013 through the financial assistance extended by
Accor Foundation.
Thirty-three (33) families received housing and
livelihood assistance from the Balik Probinsya
Program.
CLRO established linkages with different agencies
working with Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL)
such as Philippine Action for Youth Offenders (PAYO)
and Juvenile Justice Network Philippines, Inc. (JJNP).
The beneficiaries of the Mobile Unit and the
Open Day Center both participated in the
Income Generating Program. Five (5) families
and one young adult from the Mobile Unit
made eco-friendly jewelry out of paper beads
or recycled bottle tops while mothers from

such as tote bags, beach bags, pocket bags
and moon bags.
Seven (7) children from ODC received academic
awards while sixteen (16) children from ODC
received special recognition and awards for
their remarkable performance in school.
There are one hundred fifty-one (151)
sponsored children in the Family Program
currently enrolled through the Sponsorship
Program. Forty-six (46) of those children
graduated from different levels.
A new community center for Bagong Silangan
was built through the help of Samsung-Copion
students and Bayantel (a telecommunications
company) employees.
Eighteen (18) families from Quezon province
have successfully paid back their loan for the
livelihood assistance and the ownership of
their homes has also been awarded to them.
They are now capable of living sustainably with
minimal monitoring from the Balik Probinsya
Program staff.
