Bantay Bata (Child Watch) 163 is a program of the ABS-CBN Foundation, Inc. that services the needs of abused, sick, neglected and abandoned Filipino children. It basically started as a helpline in 1997, receiving calls on abused children but has evolved to become a comprehensive child institution. It is worth mentioning that this is a pioneering effort in the whole of Asia.
