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.

REFLECTION

             I had learned so much in such a short period of time. There were numerous lessons learned. Lessons in school and in life. I go to school, which is one of the reasons I have to work hard and make my family proud. Each subject has its own set of lessons to teach. This second quarter has taught me a lot. Everyday learning is good for our health. I'm certain it does. Due to the abundance of assignments, learning can be exhausting at times, but the effort will be worthwhile. Tags in ICT, mirrors and motors in Science, and many other topics are covered. I'd like to learn more in the future. Thank you also to the teachers who are eager to share their knowledge.

“The art of LOVE is largely the art of persistence.”

 "Self  Love”    Valentine’s Day, also called St. Valentine’s Day, holiday (February 14) when lovers express their affection with greetings and gifts. Given their similarities, it has been suggested that the holiday has origins in the Roman festival of Lupercalia, held in mid-February. The festival, which celebrated the coming of spring, included fertility rites and the pairing off of women with men by lottery. At the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I forbid the celebration of Lupercalia and is sometimes attributed with replacing it with St. Valentine’s Day, but the true origin of the holiday is vague at best. Valentine’s Day did not come to be celebrated as a day of romance until about the 14th century.    The day is popular in the United States as well as in Britain, Canada, and Australia, and it is also celebrated in other countries, including Argentina, France, Mexico, and South Korea. In the Philippines it is the most common wedding anniversary, ...
