2025 National Children’s Month Celebration focused on protecting children from harms online and offline. The theme “OSAEC-CSAEM Wakasan: Kaligtasan at Karapatan ng Bata, Ipaglaban!” means ending online sexual abuse and exploitation of children and materials that harm them. It reminds us that all children deserve safety, respect, and a chance to grow up without fear.
The government has been working hard to protect children’s safety and rights. They passed Republic Act No. 11930, a law that gives special protection to children against online abuse and exploitation. This law helps guide how authorities handle these cases, prevent abuse, and protect children’s rights. The government also launched a National Plan (2025–2028) to fight online sexual abuse and exploitation by coordinating many agencies to prevent and respond to cases.
Through events during the month, the government and partners taught parents, teachers, and children about digital safety and how to spot dangers online. They also encouraged communities to work together to protect kids. These activities show that protecting children is not just one group’s job—it’s a shared responsibility of families, schools, and the whole nation.
I believe these efforts help make the Philippines safer for children. By educating people, strengthening laws, and supporting victims, the government is showing that children’s dignity and rights matter. When adults work together, children can grow with confidence and freedom in a world that respects their safety and future.
