Children's Day Month

Republic Act No. 10661, or National Children's Month Act, is celebrated each November to commemorate the passage of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child on November 20, 1989. The Department of Social Welfare and Development has been identified as the primary agency running the celebration.

This month-long celebration aims to raise awareness among Filipinos and support the promotion and protection of children's rights.

Before the Philippines celebrated Children's Month, many countries around the world had already celebrated Children's Day. It was June 1857 Dr. Charles Leonard held a special service for children. It was first called "Rose Day", then "Flower Day", and finally "Children's Day".

The first country to make this holiday a national holiday was Turkey in 1920. However, it was not until the World Congress on the Welfare of Children in Geneva, Switzerland in 1925 that the International Children's Day was proclaimed that the holiday was adopted worldwide. On June 1, 1950, many communist and post-communist countries also began to observe International Children's Day, including the Joint Resolution of India and Uruguay in 1954.

On November 20, 1989, the Philippines adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child for the first time at the United Nations.

Reflecting on Progress: 2nd Quarter

The second quarter of the academic year has just come to an end, and it is time for me to take a step back and reflect on my personal and academic progress. As I reflect, I am reminded of the challenges I faced, the opportunities I seized, and the lessons I learned during this period. One of the biggest challenges I faced was time management.

Reflecting on Progress: 3rd Quarter

This grading period I learned a lot in using more html tags, thanks to those Exers that were given to us that trained us. This grading period was way much challenging than the past grading. Making your own web was a great experience and challenge to me. I never thought that they will give me the responsibility in making our web design, which is our project. So I pursued to finish and make it beautiful. I made research for more tags in the internet. I asked my friends who knows something about this. And I survived I finished it and I am glad that I have applied what I have learned. Upon making a web design I find enjoying and I think it will be my next hobby. It is very challenging to make a web which is cool, awesome, beautiful, and satisfying. Moving on I hope that our last grading would be more challenging and learn more about web designing. img src: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/...
