PLAY, LEARN, AND GROW TOGETHER!!

National Children’s Month is celebrated in November in the Philippines every year. This month-long celebration aims to give Filipino children access to a healthy environment, good education, and healthcare. The theme of the National Childrens' Month 2022 is “Kalusugan, Kaisipan, at Kapakanan ng Bawat Bata Ating Tutukan!”. Before the Philippines started observing National Children’s Month, many countries around the world had already been celebrating ‘Children’s Day.’ It began in June 1857 when Reverend Dr. Charles Leonard conducted a special service for the children. Initially, he first called it ‘Rose Day,’ then ‘Flower Sunday,’ and was finally renamed ‘Children’s Day.’

Dr. Jose Rizal, the Philippines’ national hero, once said that the youth is the future of the nation, and investing in children is key for the betterment of the next generation. This holiday also comes from a place of empathy. As a third-world country, most families struggle financially, and it’s the children who suffer the most. This month highlights the ways we can help and support them. The Philippines first adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child by the United Nations on November 20, 1989. The National Youth Commission (N.Y.C.), the Council for the Welfare of Children (C.W.C.), and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (D.S.W.D.) were tasked to come up with activities, plans, and charitable events to help children in need.

The focus of National Children’s Month is to offer help to those children who suffered from abuse, poverty, natural calamities, and violence. In fact, in 2013 alone, there was a disturbingly high rate of children who suffered from sexual abuse and exploitation. By 2015, late Philippine President Benigno Aquino III made November the official National Children’s Month in the Philippines under the Republic Act No. 10661.

A letter for you

Image
    - September 28, 2022      Good day, Mr. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. I am Ma. Anthoneth Riberal, a student in Ilocos Sur National High School. First, congratulations on your victory. I am hoping, that you will be a good, responsible, and a wise leader. Ask not what our country can do for you – ask what you can do for our country.       We have so many problems in our country. And the first thing I observed, is the serious crisis we are facing right now—the very low learning outcomes among our young and older children and even among those in higher education. Many observers blame the COVID-19 pandemic, however, even before the pandemic struck, the country was already performing badly in learning outcomes, from early education to the higher levels. The deep impact of the pandemic only surfaced the deep cracks that were already shaking the foundations of education as our core institution early on.       And I also obser...
