CHILDREN: FRUIT OF TOMORROW


     A child plays a vital role in completing and modeling the society. But to see them suffer today, no questions their platform for tomorrow.

Icon     This month highlights the youth as we celebrate National Children’s Month with the theme: “Karapatang Pambata: Patuloy na Pahalagahan at Gampanan Tungo sa Magandang Kinabukasan.” The theme simply implies how continuously enhancing children’s right can give or offer them a bright future that their future is within the generation of today. That today’s generation is the seed of their offspring of tomorrow.

     The 2019 NCM aims to celebrate the gains and successes of the Philippines in the promotion and protection of children’s rights. Specifically, it aims to:
1.         Intensify public awareness on the rights of children and remind all sectors of the community and society to be responsible in raising-up the Filipino child to become a well-rounded person and to protect her/him at all cost, as enshrined in the UN CRC.
2.         Promote further the institutionalization of a child-friendly environment and governance by promoting implementation and monitoring of CRC at all levels.
3.         Provide a platform for discourse on newly-enacted landmark legislations and persistent issues pertaining to children’s rights to survival, development, protection and participation.
4.         Empower children as rights-holders and duty-bearers to deliver commitment to promote, protect and fulfill rights of children.

     There has never been a more important time to educate and empower the next generation with knowledge about their rights. Take note that children are not just simply children or numerous human being, but they are the world’s cure, they are the fruit of the future, and who knows that this little people of today would probably the heroes of tomorrow. That is why the act of simply depriving them of their rights is now shading little by little the bright future of our own world.

     Children are not results of emotional gratification.

     For a new offspring to explore the world means a new hope was born. People or adult specifically needs to take note how big the responsibility are within their hands. To see children suffer as soon as they were born aren’t there meant. They are meant to live, they are meant to fulfill their rights.
