Every child is a curly dimpled lunatic. Happy Children's Day
The Philippines observes National Children’s Month
every November. Giving Filipino children access to a healthy environment, a
quality education, and healthcare is the goal of this month-long celebration.
The national hero of the Philippines, Dr. Jose Rizal, famously declared that
young are the country’s future and that raising children is essential to
improving the next generation. This holiday also stems from an empathetic
place. The majority of families in this third-world nation struggle
financially, and the children are the ones who suffer the most. This month’s
focus is on the ways in which we may support and assist them.
Many nations around the world had already been
commemorating “Children’s Day” before the Philippines began observing National
Children’s Month. It all started in June 1857 when Reverend Dr. Charles Leonard
conducted a special service for the children. Initially, he first called it
‘Rose Day,’ then ‘Flower Sunday,’ and was finally renamed Children’s Day.
Children’s Day was officially declared during
the World Conference on Child Welfare in Geneva, Switzerland. With the
introduction of the International Children’s Day on June 1, 1950, numerous
communist and post-communist nations followed suit, with India and Uruguay
issuing a joint resolution in 1954.
On November 20, 1989, the Philippines became
the first country to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It
was the responsibility of the National Youth Commission (N.Y.C. ), the Council
for the Welfare of Children (C.W.C. ), and the Department of Social Welfare and
Development (D.S.W.D. ), to develop initiatives, strategies, and fundraising
occasions to assist underprivileged children.
The goal of National Children's
Month is to assist children who have experienced abuse, hardship, natural
disasters, and violence. In fact, the number of children who experienced sexual
abuse and exploitation in 2013 alone was alarmingly high.
By adopting Republic Act
No. 10661 in 2015, the late Philippine President Benigno Aquino III declared
November to be the country’s official National Children’s Month.
