(PNA file photo) MANILA- Foundlings will now have the rights and protection they need after the signing of the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of Republic Act 11767 or the Foundling Recognition and Protection Act on Friday. Senator Grace Poe, a foundling herself and co-author of the measure, said she is grateful to be part of the law that grants "rights and protections at the moment of birth equivalent to those belonging to such class of citizens whose citizenship does not need perfection or any further act." "No sweeter words could ever be written. Today, we, foundlings, are no longer invisible," Poe said. "We achieved victory with the enactment of the law. With the IRR, we hope to see all abandoned children enjoying equal treatment and every available service due them." Poe called on concerned agencies to implement the law fully and effectively. The National Authority for Childcare (NACC) led the ceremonial signing at a restaurant in Greenhills,
