National children's month

 The 2025 National Children’s Month celebration in the Philippines, themed “OSAEC-CSAEM Wakasan: Kaligtasan at Karapatan ng Bata, Ipaglaban!”, focuses on ending Online Sexual Abuse or Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) and Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials (CSAEM) while highlighting the importance of protecting every child’s safety, dignity, and rights. This theme reflects the growing concern about how children can be vulnerable in both digital and real-world environments, especially as technology becomes more central to their daily lives. The celebration emphasizes that protecting children is not just a program but a shared duty of the government, families, schools, and communities working together. �

Government efforts to protect children show a whole-of-nation approach by raising awareness of laws like the Anti-Online Sexual Abuse or Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) and Anti-Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials (CSAEM) Act. This law is designed to prevent abuse and protect children from all forms of sexual exploitation, especially those involving information and communication technologies. Authorities and local councils conduct seminars, campaigns, and training to help parents, teachers, and officials recognize and respond to online risks and abuse. �

Beyond awareness, the government has launched concrete actions such as the National Strategic Plan to Combat OSAEC and CSAEM 2025–2028 to strengthen prevention, protection, law enforcement, and partnerships across sectors. This plan aims to make reporting and responding to cases more effective, promote community education, and ensure that victims receive support and justice. Such efforts demonstrate that protecting children’s rights goes beyond celebration—it requires sustained policies and programs that safeguard their well-being in every setting. �

In my view, celebrating National Children’s Month with a strong call to end abuse and exploitation highlights the government’s serious commitment to upholding the rights and dignity of Filipino children. By involving multiple agencies like the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC), the celebration strengthens both legal frameworks and community actions that prioritize child safety. It also reminds us that children must be listened to and protected so they can grow, learn, and thrive without fear—a responsibility that must continue long after November ends.

VIGAN CITY

Vigan City in Ilocos Sur is one of the most beautiful and historic places in the Philippines. When I visited it, I felt like I went back in time. The streets, the old houses, and the peaceful vibe make it a special place. But what made my trip more memorable were three tourist spots: Pagburnayan, the Dancing Fountain, and the Crisologo Museum. Pagburnayan is a small pottery place where locals make jars by hand. The word “burnay” means jar in Ilocano. These jars were used long ago to store water, vinegar, or rice wine. When I went there, I saw how skilled the potters are. They use a potter’s wheel and shape the clay with their bare hands. It looks simple, but it actually takes a lot of practice. It made me appreciate our culture more because these crafts are part of our history. Next is the Dancing Fountain located in the plaza. At night, the fountain lights up and water dances to music. It may sound simple, but it was so fun and relaxing to watch. Many families, tourists, and even loca...

  “Tree planting is a simple yet powerful way to care for the environment. By planting trees, we help reduce pollution, provide fresh air, and create a greener and healthier community. It also helps prevent floods and provides shelter for animals. Tree planting teaches us the value of nature and reminds us of our responsibility to protect and preserve it for future generations." “A clean-up drive is an important activity that helps keep our surroundings clean and safe. It brings people together to take care of the environment by collecting trash and promoting proper waste management. Through this activity, we not only make our community more beautiful but also protect nature for future generations. Clean-up drives remind us that even small actions can make a big difference when everyone works together.”
