National Children's Month Celebration

-



Under Republic Act 10661, the month of November is declared as NCM to commemorate the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly on November 20, 1989.

 

The Philippines observes National Children's Month every November. Giving Filipino children access to a healthy environment, a quality education, and healthcare is the goal of this month-long 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. 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. We do not tolerate violence against children. The repercussions of abuse are something that will be carried with them until they become adults. This is a practice that should be abolished.

 

       We should observe national children’s month by: Participating in complementary feeding programs, Host parties at orphanages, Treat your niece and nephews. The next leaders of our world are the children. We should hone them and give them access to education and a safe environment to make their future brighter.

  Valentine’s Day is a holiday when lovers express their affection with greetings and gifts. It is also called St. Valentine’s Day and celebrated annually on February 14. The holiday has expanded to express affection between relatives and friends. This day is not only for lovers, but for all those whom we love. Of course, Valentine's Day is not the only day to share our love. Rather, it is yet another opportunity to let those whom we love know how much we love and appreciate them. My experience during Valentine's Day this year in 2023 is fun; it is not boring because I'm with my classmates and family. At school, seeing people younger than me receive flowers doesn't bother me; on the other hand, the people I hang around with are feeling bitter the whole day. I may not have a Valentine's date, but I have my family and friends to give me love and comfort during that day. I don't just receive love, comfort, and food on special occasions; nevertheless, I receive them...
