National Children's Month

This year's theme for National Children's Month is "OSAEC-CSAEM Wakasan: Kaligtasan at Karapatan ng Bata, Ipaglaban!" which means to end online sexual abuse and exploitation of children. It is important because day in and day out, children go online, and not all online spaces are safe for all users. This reminds us that we must protect them from any abuse.



I think that the government is trying to protect children by creating laws and programs that punish offenders and keep children safe. There are various laws, like the Anti-Child Pornography Act and the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act, which help in combating online exploitation. The government also coordinates with agencies like the DSWD and the CWC in order to rescue victims and provide quick actions to cases. Awareness is also spread by the government through its campaigns in schools and communities.


Through these programs, both children and parents are taught ways of safety on the internet, including how to report suspicious activities. I think this helps a lot because many people still don't realize just how bad it can be out there on the internet.




Overall, this year's theme reminds us that protecting children is everyone's responsibility. The government, schools, parents, and the community must come together to make sure that every child grows up safe. Children deserve a future where their rights are always protected.

What Describes Ivan

  I'm someone who lives in an energetic life. I love working out, wether it's through sorts or training. Being athletic helps me stay focused and confident in everything I do. Standing at 5'6, I may not be the tallest, but I really am not. Sports and exercise ain't just hobbies for me because they're part of my everyday routine. Music is another huge part of my self. I'm passionate about listening to different music, exploring new sounds and most of all, playing guitar. There's something about music that helps me express what I can't say in words. Playing guitar is a simple way of connecting with anything deeper. I can spend hours getting lost in the melody of the song, especially when I'm learning something new. Music brings me  peace focus and joy which feels like a second language to me. I also enjoy things that can sharpen my mind, like playing chess. It's a game of strategy, patience and skills that I apply to life from the board. I love how...

My Second Quarter Experience

Image
  During second quarter, I learned about something like being consistent and becoming serious in going for my goals. I learned more lessons in each subject, which helped me strengthen my knowledge and to improve my study habits or skills. I also learned that learning is easier if I listen carefully in classes, take notes, and review them not every time but regularly. One of the challenges I faced was dealing with pressure and stress from having too much responsibilities like joining a lot of events which can make me very busy some times. There were times when assignments from other teachers were given at the same time, and I felt tired by trying to accomplish everything. I also had problems with having endurance for academics and or my habits. Having expectations from my self, my family, and my teachers—sometimes led me to question whether I was capable of doing it all. These were times of trial for my discipline and mental toughness. To overcome these difficulties, I created a per...
