National Children's Month


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. 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.


 National Children’s Month Act commemorates the adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child on 20 November 1989. Under section 3 of the law, the CWC, National Youth Commission, and the Department of Social Welfare Development were designated as the lead agencies for the conduct of the celebration. 


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.

Three Fourths

  The School year is soon coming to an end, this past eight weeks may have been stressful, frustrating and annoying, despite all the setbacks I still thoroughly enjoyed this year’s lessons. Although the lessons were fun, I wouldn’t say it’s easy, after all nothing in this life is easy, only hardships. For this quarter’s ICT lessons, it’s about research, and I am not happy about this, although it is far easier than our normal research subject as we are able to choose between categories. Despite this, I am so tried of research, and I don’t write want to write essays upon essays. Although I am quite glad it isn’t as complicated as our main research subject and we can use an easier method for conducting research. Moving on, I will carry all the learnings taught to me during this quarter of the School Year all throughout my journey as a student

Holy Week

  Holy Week is a significant religious observance for Christians around the world. It commemorates the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, which commemorates Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and ends with Easter Sunday, which celebrates Jesus' resurrection from the dead. During Holy Week, Christians participate in various religious traditions and practices, including attending church services, praying, fasting, and reflecting on the meaning of Jesus' sacrifice. It is a time of solemnity and contemplation, as well as a time of hope and renewal. Last Holy Week, I spent time with my family at our hometown. We went to church together. We also enjoyed bonding moments at home, preparing meals together. It was a simple yet meaningful time spent with my loved ones, reflecting on our faith and cherishing each other's company.

Change Starts with ME

Image
  We all want to see change in the world. We want to see less poverty, less hunger, less war, and more peace. We want to see a world where everyone has access to education, healthcare, and opportunity. The truth is, change starts with us. It starts with each individual making a commitment to make a difference. It starts with each of us choosing to be the change we want to see in the world. There are many small things we can do to make a difference. We can volunteer our time to a local charity. We can donate to a cause we care about. We can recycle and conserve energy. We can be kind and compassionate to others. These small acts of kindness may seem insignificant, but they can have a big impact. They can inspire others to make a difference as well. And when enough people make a difference, it can create real change in the world. So don't wait for someone else to make the change you want to see. Start with yourself. Be the change you want to see in the world. REFERENCE: teepublic(202
