Draft 1/Blog Post No. 1: Breaking the Prevalence, Ending the Violence: A Call to Protect Children









The 2024 National Children's Month Celebration emphasizes a significant need: to protect the rights and welfare of children. Violence against children remains very prevalent in the country, often manifested in various ways-violence through abuse, neglect, and exploitation. This is an issue that calls for collaboration from families, communities, and the government in ensuring that the child can grow up safely in their own country.


Normalization of violence within several communities makes combating violence a massive task. A lot of harmful practices are passed down from generation to generation, for instance, corporal punishment. Awareness campaigns and education programs teaching positive discipline and children's rights will be essential. Schools, religious institutions, and the local organizations will have a role to fill by instilling values that uphold dignity and protect children from injury.




As we mark the celebration of National Children's Month, let us renew our commitment to a safe Philippines for this younger generation. This entails stricter policies to protect children against all forms of abuse, making accessible mental health support available, and ensuring that justice is properly served to victims. In a way, ending the cycle of violence would help protect the future for children but, more so, lay down the foundation for a stronger, more compassionate society.

Bridging Cultures: Why Filipinos Celebrate Chinese New Year

Filipinos celebrate Chinese New Year to honor the deep-rooted cultural and economic connections between the Philippines and China. Historically, the Chinese community have significantly influenced Filipino culture, contributing to various traditions and practices (Wickberg, 2000). In 2012, the Philippine government has recognized this by declaring Chinese New Year a special non-working holiday, allowing both Filipinos and Filipino-Chinese to partake in the festivities (Tan, 2011). This move underscored the nation's acknowledgment of the Chinese community's integral role in a Philippine society. This is shows how much Chinese traditions have shaped Filipino customs over time (Ang See, 1997). The celebration is marked by various custom and tradition that symbolize good fortune and prosperity. Families prepare special dishes like a tikoy , which are believed to bring unity and harmony among friends and family members (Chu, 2010). Lion and dragon dance was performed in streets and ...
