Safe kids, Strong future!

 


As we commemorate National Children's Month this November 2025, the theme "OSAEC-CSAEM Wakasan: Kaligtasan at Karapatan ng Bata, Ipaglaban!" resonates deeply. It calls us to confront the harsh realities of Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) and Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials (CSAEM) and to vigorously defend the safety and rights of our children.



The government's role in safeguarding our children is critical. Laws such as the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act (Republic Act No. 7610) and the Anti-Child Pornography Act (Republic Act No. 9775) are vital frameworks. However, the effectiveness of these laws hinges on their rigorous implementation and adaptation to emerging threats in the digital age. Continuous updates to legislation, enhanced law enforcement capabilities, and proactive educational programs are essential to stay ahead of perpetrators.




Beyond legislation, the government's commitment must extend to comprehensive support systems for victims. This includes accessible mental health services, safe shelters, and rehabilitation programs that address the trauma experienced by children who have been exploited. Furthermore, empowering communities through awareness campaigns and training programs can create a network of vigilant protectors who can identify and report potential cases of abuse.

In conclusion, while significant strides have been made, the fight to protect our children's safety, dignity, and rights is far from over. It requires a united effort from the government, civil society, and every Filipino citizen. By strengthening our laws, enhancing support systems, and fostering a culture of vigilance, we can create a safer and more nurturing environment for our children to thrive.

The melody withinn

I've grown up with the name, Atisha. It's the name that has followed me through pages of books and melodies of instruments, shaping a world where stories and sound became my companions. My life has unfolded not a straight line, but in curious spiral, tracing stories and truth that shaped me for who I am today. Seeing the reality of this world taught me to understand people more deeply, to listen without judgement, and to notice what isn't always said. Books allows us to travel without moving, to feel things we've never lived, and to understand people we never met. A book is more than just pages and words, it's a doorway into others life. They helped me learn, feel and see the world in by just words. And through stories, I understand people better and discover new things I didn't know about my self yet. Reading feels like you're on your own world and in your own thoughts. I grow up hating the smell and the beeping sound of the of the machine on the hospitals....

Community cleaning by: Atisha Kett Raquepo     Since we don't want our time to be waste by just keeping our eyes in gadgets, we spend our time by cleaning the environment. As part of our community, we spent the afternoon sweeping and tidying up,  working together to make a difference.  After cleaning the environment, we should plant more some of herbal plant-which we really enjoyed. Getting our hands dirty and nurturing new life, making our world greener and brighter together, one plant at a time, for a sustainable future.    We collected and cleaned plastic recyclables, ready to transform them into something amazing. It's all about creativity and sustainability as we give these materials a second chance!  Conservation of water – learn how to use it wisely I use water carefully, knowing that every drop is precious. To me, conserving water is a simple act of wisdom and responsibility. I prefer solar energy because it is clean and sustainable and since u...

The heart of San Ildefonso.

 In a series of photographs, I aim to capture the essence of our community by highlighting four significant elements: the creation of Basi, a vintage airplane, the riverside, and the church. Each subject tells a unique story, reflecting our heritage, progress, natural beauty, and spiritual unity. Through these images, I invite viewers to appreciate the cultural cornerstones that define us and the enduring spirit that binds us together. The creation of Basi, our local wine, is more than just a beverage; it's a cultural cornerstone. My photographs capture the journey from the sugarcane fields, where farmers toil under the sun, to the fermentation process, where age-old techniques transform simple ingredients into a drink that embodies our heritage. Each step is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our community, preserving a tradition that has been passed down through generations. A relic of aviation history, the vintage airplane stands as a symbol of progress and innovatio...
