If Given a chance to change a law in the Philippines what law that be and why?

If I have the chance to change a law in the Philippines that would be the juvenile act or the law that protects the minors who commit crime or the juvenile crime perpetrators... due to increasing number of crimes committed by this minors...they are aware that they cannot be punished by the authorities no matter what crime they will commit and in my opinion rehabilitation is not the answer for this kids because thay keep on repeating breaking the law... What the Law-provider bodies should do is to make this kids know the punishment of their action... In short they can be imprisoned but notmixed with the adult prisoners. Thank you for the opportunity to state my opinion in this particular section.
