BLOG 1: CHILDRENS' MONTH

 BUILDING FOUNDATION FOR THE NEW GENERATION 

            According to the National Today, National Children’s Month is celebrated in November in the Philippines every year. This month-long celebration aims to give Filipino children access to a healthy environment, good education, and healthcare. 


Dr. Jose Rizal, the Philippines’ national hero, once said that the youth is the future of the nation, and investing in children is key for the betterment of the next generation. 
This is why this celebration is very important and valuable because having a good and strong foundation for the young people can also be a good start for their healthy growth. 




 We cannot deny the fact that if a child grew up in a good environment without seeing or encountering any kind of violence in its childhood, surely he/she will also become a person who knows how to respect, be kind and love other people the way he/she was loved.

So, I hope that we will continue to preserve and give importance to these kind of celebrations as we build a stronger foundation for the new generation.

SECOND OUT OF FOUR

  HALFWAY THROUGH SUCCESS  Looking back on this 2nd quarter journey, I really had a roller-coaster of emotion. Just like when we were still on the 1st quarter, but this time, I don't have much things to talk about. To be honest, there's nothing you can see here on my reflection (only some of the things that are important for me - lol.)  One of the reasons why I said this would be just a short recap is that I didn't have a lot of time to embrace this another chapter since I had a really busy schedule and I wasn't able to attend everyday class. It was really hard for me to multitask since I had my intensive journalism training/sessions and I only get to spend some time with my friends during my free time.  However, I still enjoyed things we did because of my classmates — especially my friends who helped me overcome my doubts and also helped me cope up with the things I have missed since my training days.  Even though I had a hard time doing the activities, they ma...

LIFE BEHIND EVERY LAUGH

          Behind The Kate Angelie You See Hi, I am Kate Angelie Irorita of Mabilbila Sur, Santa, Ilocos Sur. A girl who has a simple dream: to graduate and give back to the hard work of her parents. I am a Grade 10 SMC Student and I aspire to be a Certified Public Accountant, someday. If you are curious about my personality, well I am very clingy whenever I am around with the closest people in my life, also a jolly and bubbly girl. But in this blog, I will let you discover and dig deeper into a roller-coaster situation I have been in and how it made me even more stronger.  Since I was a kid, my family would always say "You're such a smart girl, I know you will become a successful woman in the future." and it used to be my inspiration, but almost everything has changed. When I entered Junior High School, that is when I started getting pressured, not just with my academics, but also with the life i'll be having. I doubted myself together with my abilities, sk...

VAWC: TIME TO RAISE AWARENESS THROUGH ADVOCACY In our society, cases of abused women and children has exploded over the years.  More than 70% of sexually abused children are between 10 and 18 years old. Among those victims, 20% are under 6 years old. Cases of child sexual abuse are one of the most common issues that the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has to handle after abandonment and neglect.  Despite the Anti-Rape Law of 1997, rape remains the most frequent type of sexual abuse, followed by incest and fondling. 98% of rape victims are women. The incest percentage is another alarming data: 33%. ● 98% of these sexually abused children are girls. The 2015 Child Protection Network Annual Report states that 87% of all cases of sexual violence are girls, 11.7% of which occurred in the family home. While victims of sexual exploitation for commercial purposes are predominantly 13 to 18 year-old girls, some of them were forced into prostitution from age 10 for t...
