                                      Celebrating the children's month

The 2025 National Children’s Month Celebration with the theme: “ OSAEC-CSAEM Wakasan: Kaligtasan at Karapatan ng Bata, Ipaglaban!” , this is a powerful reminder of the growing threats children may face in the digital age or the social media. Online platforms, while offering opportunities for leaning as well as connection, it can also expose children to abuse.  This year’s theme emphasizes the responsibility of government, communities and even families to safeguard children’s rights and their dignity.

 

I believe that this year’s celebration is powerful reminder that child protection should extend beyond in this physical and real world. The government, through agencies like the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), and the Philippine National Police (PNP), has implementing programs and law to safeguard children. This year is really important to steps toward punishing and creating legal safer laws for the children.

 

However, protecting children should not stop with making laws. It also needs education, community help, and online awareness. Parents, teachers, and young people should know how to spot and report online dangers. I’m glad that the government is working with tech companies and running campaigns to stop harmful online content — this shows that everyone has a role in keeping children safe.

                                                  

 

In conclusion, it’s a call to take action. It reminds us that we must always put children’s safety, dignity and rights first before other. The government’s efforts through laws and education show its commitment to creating a safer place for every Filipino child.
