  The coronavirus pandemic is a public health emergency and an economic crisis, unprecedented in the disruption of daily life. Stuck at home during the coronavirus pandemic, children can't go outside to play because they are afraid to get infected by the virus.  If you allow your children to play outside with friends, consider limiting it to just a few other kids and encouraging physical distancing. Make sure your children wash their hands before they come back inside. Most children and youth are no longer attending school, with classroom lessons replaced by home-schooling and online learning activities.  Christmas is important to many Christians because it reminds them that: Jesus, the Son of God, came to Earth for all people, symbolised through the visits of the wise men and the shepherds. Mary and Joseph both had a strong faith in God, despite the difficulties they faced. People are finding all sorts of ways to connect, celebrate and reflect. We should celebrate the ho...

The theme: “New Normal Na Walang Iwanan: Karapatan ng Bawat Bata Ating Tutukan!” is about the need to protect and promote the children's right. All the rights are connected, they are all equally important and they cannot be taken away from children. An efficient protection is essential to the children's well-being because, as vulnerable people, they are more exposed to problems of mistreatment, exploitation, discrimination and violence. They need protection especially in this time of pandemic. Child rights are human rights that also recognize the special needs for care and protection of minors — children and young people under the age of 18. All children have these rights, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, gender or cultural background. No child should be treated unfairly on any basis. Children needs care and protection. COVID-19 pandemic caused changes in children's routines, and the children experienced moderate or high levels of anxiety. They experienced changes ...

  Life of students had changed when the COVID 19 pandemic strikes. We are unable to go out and study in school because of the virus. Everything had really changed. People have been urged to stay at home. Many of the children who struggle the hardest to learn effectively and thrive in school under normal circumstances are now finding it difficult.    When the educational institutions have remained closed, online education appears to be the only alternative to ensure the continuity of education of us students. But the question remains as to whether we were prepared to utilise these substitute means of providing education in our country without diluting the quality of education to be imparted. There are some students who have limited or no access to computers and internet connectivity at home that are still out of the reach from the standard online education. online learning are effective only if students have consistent access to the internet and computers.

    Many things had changed when you elected as a president of the Philippines. You made our country better. You are a very good and great president. You became the most internationally known Filipino leader.     When you were not yet elected president, you promised something and that is you would produce real and rapid improvements in the lives of Filipinos, particularly by aggressively addressing crime and corruption, and you really did it now that you’re now the president of the Philippines.
