Who We Are:
Defenders of Childhood

Our work here at Children’s Legal Bureau, Inc. is driven by the belief that every child deserves to be seen, heard, and protected. We are a team united by a common goal: ensuring a world where children grow in safe, supportive environments. For us, protecting children is more than a mission; it’s our calling.

Our Roots

It started in late 1996 as a project of the Protestant Lawyer’s League of the Philippines – Cebu Chapter after finding the need to provide development legal assistance for children during a consultative meeting with child-focused NGOs. It was later registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as a separate entity in 1997, implementing its own programs.

Our Vision

Children live free in a just and protective world.
