Save our Home

“The Earth will not continue to offer its harvest, except with faithful stewardship. We cannot say we love the land and then take steps to destroy it for use by future generations.”

—John Paul II

         Did you know that November is the National Environmental Awareness Month and Clean Air Month? Local Government Units around the country have their own way to celebrate and to promote the protection of nature which is our source of living.

       We cannot deny that nature provides everything we need to live but still we are abusing and taking advantage of it for our own benefit without thinking about the future generations. We are slowly destroying the beauty of God’s creation knowing that we should be stewards of it. If we continue these acts of inhumanity and evilness then it will be not long until the total destruction of the world that may lead to the extinction of mankind. 

      This year’s celebration has the theme “One Planet. One Nation: Sustaining Green Actions for a Safer Climate." It seeks to promote unity among us to help regain and bring back our environment many years ago. We could do simple things like avoiding the usage of plastics, proper segregation of trashes, planting of tress, conserving water and most especially practicing proper discipline and responsible actions. 

           We could still save our planet, we could still save our home!

Clever Little MonkeyHow to Promote Environmental Awareness in Children - Clever Little ...

It’s our Month!

         Surely November is the month for many national celebrations! We are again embracing and anticipating the Children’s Month Celebration in our locality. This seeks to promote and to protect the rights of every Filipino children.

          “Karapatang Pambata: Patuloy na Pahalagahan at Gampanan Tungo sa Magandang Kinabukasan,” is this year’s National Children’s Month theme. This celebration was made to set out and realise their rights in terms of education, survival, development and protection. It also offers a vision that a child is an individual and he/she is also a part of the family and the community with rights and responsibilities appropriate to their age and stage of development. 

           

This year’s celebration has the following objectives:

1. Intensify public awareness on the rights of children and remind all sectors of the community and society to be responsible in raising-up the Filipino child to become a well-rounded person and to protect her/him at all cost, as enshrined in the UN CRC.
2. Promote further the institutionalization of a child-friendly environment and governance by promoting implementation and monitoring of CRC at all levels.
3. Provide a platform for discourse on newly-enacted landmark legislations and persistent issues pertaining to children’s rights to survival, development, protection and participation.
4. Empower children as rights-holders and duty-bearers to deliver commitment to promote, protect and fulfill rights of children.

         Building and guiding children will lead to the bright future of our nation for they will be the next to prove their selves that they can make a change and they can make our country better!

Filipino Core Values

           

      “Ang gawa sa pagkabata, dala hanggang pagtanda.”

                                                            

       Filipino Values Month Celebration is celebrated in every schools across the country every month of November. It is in pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 479 dated October 7, 1994 entitled Declaring the Month of November of every year as Filipino Values Month.       

       This year’s celebration theme is “Pamilyang Pilipino Patatagin: Susi sa Paghubog ng Kabataang Maka-Diyos, Makatao, Makakalikasan, at Makabansa” that aims to emphasize the very important role of the family in building every young individual’s values, strengthening them to be better citizens of the country and preparing them for the future that is ahead of them. The early stage in the life of a person I must say is one of the most crucial part in learning because they might take the wrong path without proper guidance from people around them. We all know that the foundation of every student is important and it has a great influence on how they act and socialize with other people, therefore, every family should practice and apply the Filipino Core values in their lives. 

      In our school, we celebrated the Filipino Values Month through many school activities and contests that were participated by the different grade level students. 

      May we always carry out the lessons we have learned from our families and teachers. Your values is all that matters.

Embracing Cultures through United Nations

          The time has come again for the United Nations Month Celebration which is an annual month-long series of events held throughout October to commemorate the anniversary of the signing of the UN charter. It was officially established on October 24, 1945. The theme for this year’s celebration is “Indigenous Languages Matter for Sustainable Development, Peace Building and Reconciliation”

          United Nations is celebrated yearly to give honor for the work they have done to spread and promote peace among countries and for their different achievements. In the Philippines, schoolchildren wear national costumes to showcase the beautiful tradition and culture of countries around the world. UN Month Celebration is also important in our school, the Social Studies Club surely has a lot of preparations in order to make the students enjoy and be thrilled. They had conducted essay writing contest, poster making and the UN quiz to test the knowledge of the students regarding its history up to the present informations about this organization. Of course it wouldn’t be exciting without the much-awaited Mr. and Ms. UN that would be participated by the different students of each grade level. This was said to be the grandest pageant in our school and I must agree.

       It is a must to celebrate and commemorate the founding of the United Nations. This organization has a lot of contributions in helping countries economically, politically and it also promotes peace and unity among the member nations. Happy UN Month Celebration!
