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:
- 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.
- Promote further the institutionalization of a child-friendly environment and governance by promoting implementation and monitoring of CRC at all levels.
- Provide a platform for discourse on newly-enacted landmark legislations and persistent issues pertaining to children’s rights to survival, development, protection and participation.
- 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!
