"Children for the Aim"

                Children’s trapped in the darkness deserve a freedom to be with lightness. On their beliefs “Ang Kabataan ang Pag-asa ng Bayan” children is our hero who are still surrounded by unnecessary attention darkness, and it is in our hands to lift them high and reach their future that they’re waiting for. Children’s right to learn and be a part of hero in the world; their eyes, and our eyes is the happiness for the efforts in triumph. Their movements are possible to unimitate others that are not for their rights and only for themselves, but to give a better future for itself and the part of their life. With the theme, “Karapatang Pambata: Patuloy na Pahalagahan at Gampanan tungo sa Magandang Kinabukasan,” this year’s celebration of the NCM is made extra special as it coincides with the 30th Anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UN CRC).

This year’s celebration, Pascua noted aims to “intensify public awareness on the rights of children and remind all sectors to be responsible in raising Filipino children to become well-rounded people, and to protect them at all costs, as enshrined in the UN CRC.” Pascua explained that this year’s NCM celebration also aims to “promote the institutionalization of a child-friendly and child-sensitive environment and governance through the implementation and monitoring of CRC at all levels” and to “provide a platform for discourse on the newly-elected landmark legislations and persistent issues pertaining to children’s rights to survival, development, protection, and participation.”

Ultimately, the celebration aims to “empower children as rights-holders and duty-bearers to deliver commitment to promote, protect, and fulfill their rights as children.” Aside from reaffirming the commitment of the stakeholders to “respect, protect and fulfill” the rights of the child – as enshrined in the 1987 Philippine Constitution, other domestic laws and rules, and international law (primarily the CRC), DepEd noted that the summit aims to “unpack the various rights of the child in basic education and provide a venue to deepen appreciation of these rights by both the rights-holders and duty-bearers in a rights-based framework of basic education.” DepEd also noted that the summit aims to “celebrate the successes in upholding the rights of the child and identify the challenges in their realization to help address them with a whole-of-society approach, including the participation of children themselves as rights-holders.”
