A DAY TO CELEBRATE CHILDHOOD: A TIME OF WONDER, DISCOVERY, AND PLAY

-

Under Republic Act 10661, the National Children's Month (NCM) in the Philippines is annually celebrated every November, as it commemorates the adoption of the UN CRC on November 20, 1988. It seeks to instill its significance in the Filipino consciousness, as well as sustain the promotion and protection of children's rights.


The year 2021 pose greater challenges and continuously aggravates underlying issues on the realization of children's rights as the country reels from the prolonged consequences of the pandemic. In this regard, the 29th NCM celebration in November will focus on children's rights in the new normal, woth the theme "NEW NORMAL NA WALANG IWANAN: KARAPATAN NG BAWAT BATA ATING TUTUKAN!".


Since the global onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, environments, where children thrive, were disrupted and these affect the rights of the children to survive, develop, be protected, and participate safely and fully.


The 29th NCM focus and theme for this year will cover the myriad of issues on children's rights to survival, development, protection, and participation in the new normal setting, and aims to ensure that no child will be left behind regardless of the situation. Particularly, the month-long celebration will take off from the previous and current challenges, and learnings of the Philippines in terms of promoting and upholding children's rights.


With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the NCM activities will still strictly comply with the minimum health standards and shall quad media as a tool in educating Filipinos on children's rights, parenting, and concerns surrounding them.

Greece was the place where Mother's Day originally observed, and today it is observed all over the world. Every mother devotes her entire life to her child. No one can really comprehend the depth of a mother's sacrifice, and we will never be able to thank our moms for their inestimable kindness and love. It is our responsibility to look after, respect, and love our moms. Mother's Day is observed to show our moms how much we love and appreciate them. Even though Mother's Day is observed annually on the second Sunday in May, we should treat every day as Mother's Day to show our moms how much we appreciate them.

Some individuals choose to celebrate it outside of their homes. Handmade presents always occupy a particular place in our moms' hearts among all the pricey items. Some individuals like spending time wi...

The beginning of a new calendar year makes many people want to start fresh on some personal or professional habit. It is very necessary for me to set the target every year and try every waking moment to get the desired and set target. Everyone must dream to do something productive because dreaming and materializing dreams are akin to success.  I am a still student and being a student I have also made resolutions before, but just like anybody else, I too break it up.
