Breaking Barriers: Making Children Safe and Protected

      Are children really safe and protected? Every year we celebrate the National Children's Month to promote safety and protection of each one. This was adopted in 1989 to support the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Children. This year is themed "Break the Prevalence, End the Violence: Protecting Children in a Safe Philippines." The whole theme is mainly focused on the protection of every child and combating violence against them. 


     In this era that we live in right now, some children still get abused and experience violence in terms of physical and even emotional. The sad part is that they experienced it inside their own respective homes and even their community. Other children are also forced into early labor that hinders their educational journey; the reason that they are saying behind it is that life is hard. That working at a young age is the only solution to survive. 
 
      


    
  This is a serious problem that needs to be talked about and fixed. The theme for this year's children's celebration is very strong and powerful. It speaks a lot. It's a good theme that should be spread and talked about globally. Now that we talked about it, are you ready to spread it and talk about it to other people? Are you ready and willing to make a change for the future of millions of children? Remember what Jose Rizal has said: "Ang Kabataan ang Pag-asa ng Bayan." I hope that this article will help you reflect and do something for the present and for the future that we are all waiting for because I believe that even small actions can make a change.

My Journey Throughout the 2nd Quarter in ICT

Image
REFLECTION    This 2nd quarter, I have learned a lot. From our first activity, where we did the coding using the notepad, to our last activity. I now learned about how to use the HTML tags, how to make tables, how to apply the start tag and end tag, and how to put style on my file. I learned that I can explore so many things, and I can do many things on the notepad of the computer. Using the htm extension, my works on the notepad became alive. Alive in terms that it contained pictures, tables, etc. using words only in the notepad. All of this is now my forte, or should I say, I am capable of doing all of this now. It brought me a lot of lessons that I can carry on every day.     The challenges that I have encountered are that when I first saw what we needed to do, I was clueless because I didn't know what I should do, where, or when to start. It's because it's my first time to encounter this type of lesson and activity in my whole entire JHS year. At first I had a ha...
