Heroes in the next generations

 


Heroes in the next generations

 

         National Children’s Month is celebrated in November in the Philippines every year. This month-long celebration aims to give Filipino children access to a healthy environment, good education, and healthcare. Dr. Jose Rizal, the Philippines’ national hero, once said that the youth is the future of the nation, and investing in children is key for the betterment of the next generation. This holiday also comes from a place of empathy. As a third-world country, most families struggle financially, and it’s the children who suffer the most. This month highlights the ways we can help and support them.

 

          Before the Philippines started observing National Children’s Month, many countries around the world had already been celebrating ‘Children’s Day.’ It began 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.’

 

          The focus of National Children’s Month is to offer help to those children who suffered from abuse, poverty, natural calamities, and violence. In fact, in 2013 alone, there was a disturbingly high rate of children who suffered from sexual abuse and exploitation.

ME        Hi, I'm Mark Christian Quericol but most of my friends and classmates calls me "keriks." I love to play online games especialy when I'm playing with someone I know. I have a younger brother and loving parents, soon I will have another brother.          I have a lot of problem but I overcome all those problem because of my friends, classmates and family. I admit, i was an introvert person during the pandemic, I lose my confidence, and got some anxiety but then the pandemic has slightly lighten up and face to face classes continued and it really helped me gain my confidence back thanks to my classmates, friends, family, especialy my teachers.          I'm now currently a grade 10 student, I may have some difficulties on learning some of my subjects but I'm doing my best to make my parents proud.

A day of our Hearts

        Valentine's Day is a special occasion that is celebrated by couples and loved ones all around the world. It is a day to express love and affection towards one another, often through gifts, cards, and special dates. On this Valentine's Day, someone gave me a book, which was a unique and thoughtful gift.           Receiving a book as a gift on Valentine's Day was a wonderful surprise. It showed that the person who gave it to me took the time to think about what I might enjoy and put effort into finding a gift that was meaningful to me. The book itself was also a great choice, as it aligned with my interests and hobbies. It was a lovely reminder that Valentine's Day is not just about romantic love, but also about celebrating all types of relationships and showing appreciation for the people in our lives.
