The Purpose of National Children's Month

Before the Philippines started marking National Children's Month, "Children's Day" was already a popular holiday in many countries throughout the globe. The first step was a special service for children conducted by Reverend Dr. Charles Leonard in June 1857.

He called it "Rose Day" at first, then "Flower Sunday," and finally "Children's Day."

Turkey was the first country to declare this day a national holiday in 1920. However,it wasn't until 1925 that International Children's Day was formally established

at the World Conference on Child Welfare in Geneva, Switzerland.

Numerous communist and postcommunist countries adopted the International Children's Day on June 1, 1950, with Uruguay and Indi issuing a joint resolution in 1954. The National Youth Commission (N.Y.C.), the Council for the Welfare of Children (C.W.C.), and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (D.S.W.D.) were in charge of creating initiatives, strategies, and fundraising events to help children in need. The purpose of National Children's Month is to assist children who have experienced a traumatic event.

One Step Closer

This 3rd grading period, I have felt how tiring and draining it was for us. There were lots of sleepless nights, and every each of us were deprived for sleep. It was all because of the numerous activities from our school. It could be physical activities, written works and quizzes. Though, no matter how tiring it was, we still managed to have fun, enjoy, and get through it. For so many blood, sweat and tears spent, we're now almost in the final step. As this quarter ends, I have realized that we all went through a lot. Yet, those hardships we went through really paid off. I saw how hard we all worked for our achievements, especially if it was an as a whole class output. No matter how challenging it was, it was never a reason for us to give up. We're now 1 step closer to the end, and I am beyond proud for all of the achievements we have done. To more greater achievements!!

My Most Memorable Heart's Day

The day of romance and love is Valentine's Day. It's the day you celebrate love with the ones who are most important to you. You may do it with your loved ones, a friend, or a particular someone. Valentine's Day is about more than just romance; it's also a day to show your love and affection for the people in your life. Giving gifts and letters are one of the ways to show your love towards them. Every year, I celebrate valentine's with my mama. We would go on different places and try out food. We would also buy the things we've been wanting as a way of spoiling ourselves. With just the two of us celebrating, I am still able to enjoy it, because my mama is the most special person in my life. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to buy her a gift because of how busy I was with school. So, we just went out and ate. This year, my valentine's day is much different. I celebrated in school with my friends and we all exchanged hugs and laughter. Also, I received a gif...

This is A's Life

Starting off this blog, I would like to first introduce myself. I am Mary Adeline E. Festejo, my name came from a book of baby names. My parents chose my name to start with M and A because their names also start with M which stands for Marius and A which stands for Agnes. Me, a 16 year old 10th grader is a part of the Special Science Classes. I've been in this program/class since Grade 7. Furthermore, being in this class has gave me obstacles, which were really fun and I was able to pull it through. In life, we have our hobbies that help us cope up with our stress, problems, or the negative things that we experience. My hobbies include; singing, watching, playing online games, and sleeping. The words I mentioned, are the ones that help me get through the phase of negative energy/feelings. Fun fact, I have 7 dogs and which I love very much. There are 5 females and 2 males. Their names are Kelly, Chicky, Tudi, Sushi, Aika, Olaf and Yuji. I am a very loveable perso...
