Protecting a Child’s Rights

     Every child and young person's life in the Philippines had been interrupted by Covid-19, which has made our lives tough and full of struggles. During this time of pandemics, there are numerous risks that surround us, and children are the most vulnerable and defenseless to these dangers. Covid-19 took away these children's joyful childhoods, which makes me sad because they didn't get to experience the childhoods we experienced before the pandemic.

            The highlight of this month's celebration is on children's rights, and no one should be left behind while the pandemic continues to unfold. For me, the majority of the kids lack the necessary protection, and they are the most vulnerable in our situation. At such a young age, adjusting to a new and unfamiliar way of life is tough. Imagine being in their shoes, missing out on the fun you had with your friends before the pandemic, and being stuck at home. If they didn't get to experience everything that a child could, a part of their childhood is missing, and this had an impact on their mental and physical health. One of our most important responsibilities is to protect children and their rights.

           The future of the world is in the hands of children. They're supposed to be the ones who save and transform the world we live in.  And the greatest thing we can do is to protect and respect them. We must give them the love and happiness they deserve while they are still young. Even though we face numerous hurdles, the pandemic will not prevent us from defending a child's right. Becoming one will be enough to overcome Covid-19, and we will be able to provide the children with the rights they deserve.

    Yes, I agree with this article, every child needs their own rights, and seeing them struggling during the pandemic also breaks my heart.

Kagitingan ng mga Pilipino

Image
The story of the Fall of Bataan remains to be a devastating tale. But unlike The Shining or American Psycho, this is not a story ripped off of fiction books. It is a tragedy engraved in the dark pages of our history. The Day of Valour, also known as the Araw ng Kagitingan, commemorates the Filipino and American soldiers who stood up against Japanese forces during World War II. This historic day commemorates the  valor of Filipino veterans and American allies who fought against the Japanese invasion in World War II, during which thousands of lives were lost defending the country's freedom and sovereignty. The "Fall of Bataan" is a constant reminder of Filipino bravery and patriotism. Normally, roads in various parts of the country are set aside for parades. This is to honor Filipino war veterans who died while serving the Philippines, as well as those who contributed military service to defend the country during times of war or peace.  Unfortunately, this is still prohibit...

During the Pandemic's Lenten Season

Image
The Lenten Season, also known as Ash Wednesday, is a solemn religious observance in the Christian liturgical calendar. On Ash Wednesday, a traditionally solemn holiday, a church's priest or pastor will dip their finger into a tray of ashes and spread them in the shape of a cross on the foreheads of congregants. They will say, "from dust you came, and from dust you will return," while doing so. The ashes are made by burning palm branches from the previous year's Palm Sunday. Lent lasts 40 days, not including Sundays (that means the season is technically 46 days long). It is significant that it is 40 days. "The number 40 has always had special spiritual significance regarding preparation," says Father William Saunders of the Catholic Education Resource Center. Jesus fasted and prayed for 40 days and 40 nights in the desert before He began His public ministry (Matthew 4:2). The week preceding Easter Sunday, known as Holy Week, is meaningful in the Christian chu...

The Truth We Can't Deny

  Kate Angela Rabena Tamorong, Sta. Catalina, Ilocos Sur   September 21, 2021 President Rodrigo Roa Duterte Malacañang Palace JP Laurel Street, San Miguel, Manila, 1005   Dear President Duterte,             It takes courage, determination, and discipline to be a leader. While having a great leader can lead to great success, it also comes with the risk of being criticized and overwhelmed. Many things have transpired and changed since you became our president this past years.  Sir, I respect your strength and perseverance because you went above and beyond to help us Filipinos. Promises, on the other hand, are meant to be broken, as we all know and believe. Many of your people were disappointed with your administration since your promises were not kept and you failed miserably as president. I understand that you have been entrusted with the tough task of repairing and improving the Philip...
