National Children’s Month is celebrated in November in the Philippines every year. This month-long celebration aims to give Filipino children access to a healthy environment, good education, and healthcare. Dr. Jose Rizal, the Philippines’ national hero, once said that the youth is the future of the nation, and investing in children is key for the betterment of the next generation. This holiday also comes from a place of empathy. As a third-world country, most families struggle financially, and it’s the children who suffer the most. This month highlights the ways we can help and support them.

As a child-focused organization, World Vision in the Philippines joins the Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC), the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), the National Youth Commission (NYC) and other like-minded organizations in celebrating the 29th National Children’s Month (NCM).

With the theme “New Normal na Walang Iwanan: Karapatan ng Bawat Bata Ating Tutukan,” this year’s celebration emphasizes the need to uphold the rights of children especially amid the COVID-19 pandemic where we are seeing the devastating impact of our current situation on the vulnerable sector.
