Q3-Blog Post 1 National Children,s Month

 


The observance of the 2025 National Children’s Month, under the powerful theme “OSAEC-CSAEM Wakasan: Kaligtasan at Karapatan ng Bata, Ipaglaban!” (End Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children and Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials: Fight for the Safety and Rights of Children!), serves as a vital national declaration. 


This theme is an urgent recognition that the biggest contemporary threat to Filipino children resides not just in physical spaces, but in the rapidly expanding digital realm. It acknowledges that the rise of high-speed internet and mobile devices has unfortunately made the Philippines a global hotspot for these heinous crimes, with millions of children facing online risks.



 This commemoration shifts the focus from simple awareness to aggressive, collective action, insisting that the safety and rights of every child are a non-negotiable priority that must be defended fiercely against digital exploitation.

Blog#2 Quarter 3 Elpidio Quirino

 


Elpidio Rivera Quirino, the Philippines’ sixth President, was a dedicated public servant whose life story mirrored the tumultuous path of the newly independent nation. Born on November 16, 1890, in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Quirino was a self-made man who rose from humble origins.




 His early life was characterized by determination and hard work; he financed his education by working as a barrio teacher and later as a clerk in Manila. This work ethic culminated in him obtaining a law degree from the University of the Philippines in 1915 and becoming one of the topnotchers in the Bar Examinations. His foundational years instilled in him a profound sense of duty and the resilience needed to lead a country scarred by conflict.



Born during the decade of the Philippine Revolution, Elpidio’s life parallels the story of the nation from revolution against the Spanishand war against the Americans, to commonwealth under America, war with the Japanese, to liberation and eventual independence. At every stage of that story, Elpidio had an important role to play.
