The Hope of The Nation

        The youth are seen as the hope of the nation. They have the potential to be the ones who bring pride to their country. We ought to recognize and acknowledge children's rights because doing so will help them grow into responsible citizens who will one day make our country a better place to live. This will help not only the present but also future generations. Taking care of, and not ignoring, the rights of children is a step towards a healthier, safer, and more improved country.

        Unfortunately, children are not having the greatest time of their life right now as a result of the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. Because of the restrictions, they are unable to enjoy their childhood. They lack socialization, which is essential for a child's development. It is evident that confining them within their houses does not promote their well-being. Nonetheless, families appear to have developed a stronger relationship with one another since everyone is confined to their homes. This is a time for parents to bond with their children and become closer to one another. However, because some parents are OFWs and frontliners, not all youth have the opportunity to physically interact and bond with them. Despite the fact that the pandemic is having a negative impact on children, they now have the time to reflect and grow into the person they wish to be.

        We can protect the youth by showing our appreciation to them. The National Children's Month Celebration is an excellent approach to raise public awareness and support for the protection of children's rights. This way, they will feel that they are important and have a significant role to play in the country's development. Our future is in the hands of the youth. Hence, it is critical that we express our support for protecting their rights in order to ensure a brighter future.

    Yes, I 100% agree with your statements. Indeed the pandemic has affected children both positively and negatively. We should protect children's rights so that they will grow into the heroes our country needs.

A Time for Giving

        Our favorite time of year is nearing, and the pandemic is still present, limiting our ability to travel and meet our loved ones from various places. This will be our second time coping with the pandemic during the holiday season. Nonetheless, we Filipino Christians will not be deterred from celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Christmas lights and trees can be seen as early as September. Every Filipino, especially children, can be seen beaming with delight as they await the arrival of Christmas to receive gifts from their family and godparents. This is the time when the family gets together to celebrate and bond while enjoying the feast that has been prepared. However, because the COVID-19 Pandemic has had such a great impact on our daily lives, we are unable to be with our families and friends who come from long distances.         Christmas is one of the most important events for Christians, and it should be valued and res...

               We are all aware that the pandemic has affected how we normally live, and the education of students is no exception. In the first months of 2020, our learning was interrupted due to the rapid spread of the Covid-19. Of course, we students were upset by the news. Students had no idea when their schools would reopen. Despite the difficulties caused by the pandemic, the Philippine government did not use this as an excuse to halt the education of students. In the Philippines, education is crucial to a person’s life.         What we are experiencing as students today demonstrates the importance of education. Despite the ongoing pandemic, the Philippine government developed various approaches in order to continue the education of students. Distance learning has been introduced, which includes the use of technology, electronic devices, modules, and so on. Students were new to this approach, and some lacked the necessa...
