===Article XIII===
Article XIII provides enactment of measures to advance social justice and human dignity. Section 11 provides for the advancement of health. Section 17 provides for a Commission on Human Rights. Section 18 provides specific powers to the Commission to investigate [[human rights]] violations and to "[p]rovide appropriate legal measures for the protection of [[human rights ]] of all persons within the Philippines."<ref name="constitution1987" /> No such measures seem to have been enacted to protect boys from Tuli.
===Article XV===
Article XV provides protection for the family. Section 3(2) provides the right of children to "special protection from all forms of neglect, abuse, cruelty, exploitation, and other conditions prejudicial to their development".<ref name="constitution1987" />
It appears that no one in the Philippine Republic has thought it appropriate to apply these constitutional provisions to the practice of Tuli, except perhaps for Ramos & Boyle, who briefly called for the application of [[human rights ]] to Tuli.<ref name="ramos2019" />
