LEGAZPI CITY, Oct 25 (PIA) – The Bicol region joins the intensified advocacy to protect children’s rights as highlighted in the celebration of this year’s Children’s Month in the country and Universal Children’s Day in the world.
Arnel Garcia, Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Bicol, said the commemoration of Children’s Month this October is pursuant to Presidential Proclamation 267 series of 1993.
The theme for this month’s celebration, “Kahirapan Wakasan. Karapatan ng Bata, Ipaglaban,” strongly advocates children’s rights added Garcia.
Universal Children’s Day, as declared by the United Nations General Assembly, calls on countries to observe Universal Children's Day to promote mutual exchange and understanding among children and initiate action to benefit and promote the welfare of the world's children.
In support to these advocacies, respective local government units, people’s organizations and non-government organizations catering for the welfare of children in various parts of the region conducted activities for preschool children.
In Legazpi City, DSWD will be holding the Children’s Summit on October 31 at the Liberty Commercial Center here for public and private partners and around 70 children participants, most of whom are Pantawid Pamilya Program (PPP) beneficiaries.
The summit aims to provide stronger advocacy on children’s rights, showcase talents through literary arts competition and encourage our partners for their continuous support to the PPP.
In Camarines Sur, a provincial children’s summit will also be held. Part of the event is the “Kaya Ko” advocacy campaign which aims to highlight gains and impact of the PPP among the beneficiaries particularly the children.
Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program is a conditional cash transfer (CCT) program that provides cash grants to poor households with children 0-14 years old and/or pregnant mothers, provided that they comply with the conditions set by the program.
