The Hope for a Better Future

Children's Month

    Under the law RA No. 10661, the Philippines celebrates National Children's Month every November, with the current national theme “Kalusugan, kaisipan, at kapakanan ng bawat bata ating tutukan!”,  Giving Filipino children access to a healthy environment, a quality education, and healthcare is the goal of this month-long celebration. The majority of families in this nation struggle financially, and the children are the ones who suffer the most. This month's focus is on the ways in which we may support and assist them and to raise awareness of its relevance among Filipinos and to support and defend the rights of children 

    Millions of children also suffer from assault, harassment, exploitation, and abuse, these frequently happen in home, school, and even community settings. These kinds of situations are frequently disregarded, depriving children of their constitutional right to be safe from harm. The purpose of celebrating Children's Month is to raise awareness of the sufferings of children worldwide.

    The month-long celebration aims to instill in the Filipino consciousness as well as sustain the promotion and protection of children’s rights. An adult has a duty to look out for and properly care for the children. The occasion serves as a reminder that young people should be appreciated and that efforts should be made to improve the world for them. Dr. Jose Rizal, famously declared that young are the country's future, that raising children is essential to improving the next generation.
