Children's Safety: A Right, Not a Luxury


     In November, we celebrate the 2025 National Children's Month with the theme: “OSAEC-CSAEM Wakasan: Kaligtasan at Karapatan ng Bata, Ipaglaban!” This translates to "End Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) and Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials (CSAEM): Fight for the Safety and Rights of Children!" This theme emphasizes the urgent need to end online sexual abuse and exploitation of children. In today’s digital age, where the internet plays a significant role in children’s lives, the risks of online abuse and exploitation are increasing. It highlights that protecting children’s rights is not just a moral obligation but a social responsibility.

     The government plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety, dignity, and rights of children. Laws such as the “Anti-OSAEC Law” and the “Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination Act” have been enacted to strengthen systems that safeguard children from abuse, both online and offline. Agencies like the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), the Department of Education (DepEd), and the Philippine National Police (PNP) are collaborating to raise awareness, investigate cases, and provide rehabilitation for victims. These initiatives demonstrate that the government is taking steps to create a safer society for the youth.


       While the government is making significant efforts to protect children, we must remain vigilant and do our part to keep them safe. The responsibility for children’s safety should not solely depend on laws and programs; it also relies on the care and awareness of the community. Parents, teachers, and citizens must come together to ensure that every child grows up in a safe and nurturing environment. Protecting children is a shared responsibility that requires constant effort and compassion from everyone.

The Last Chapter of Junior High School

________________________ Entry #1 ________________________ The Last Chapter of Junior High School                  Hello everyone, let me introduce myself. I am Warren James P. Giron, and I am part of 10-Marconi at Ilocos Sur National High School. I was born on May 20, 2010, and I am currently 15 years old. My mother's name is Ruby Pader Giron, and my little sister's name is Olivia Isabelle Giron. Some of my interests are math and playing games.               One of my greatest fears is people judging me. Every action I take, I always think about how people will judge me for doing it. This makes me nervous around people, as I try to avoid doing things that can embarrass me and judge me for it. Because of this, I often avoid interacting with people or feel awkward around them.         I have to overcome this part of me because I am a student of the Special Science Class. As a...

What I Have Done So Far

Image
    ________________________ Entry #4 ________________________ What I Have Done So Far           A lot has happened in this first quarter of being a grade 10 student. I have learned a lot of valuable information from my teachers. I've learned that I need to be serious in my studies as I move on to more advanced and harder lessons in my subjects. I have also learned that getting enough sleep is important because lack of sleep makes you less focused and tired, speaking from experience.          I have encountered some bumpy roads traversing this first quarter. One problem I noticed is that I am cramming and procrastinating projects and assignments, specifically my thematic project and blog posts. As a result, I spent my night cramming for my projects, which disrupted my sleep schedule and caused me to doze off in class. This problem greatly affects me, making the quality of my assignments and projects mediocre at best, and I...
