GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Oct 23 (PIA)-- The city government is celebrating the National Children’s Month from October 1-31, according to Rebecca V. Magante, head of the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO). Magante disclosed the celebration kicked off with the hanging of streamers in all Day Care Centers bearing the celebration’s theme, “Local Council for the Protection of Children (LCPC) Para sa Bright Child: Paskilusin, Palakasin, Pagtulungan Natin!” Magante stressed the importance of LCPC in the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Children (CRC) at the community level. She explained why the LCPC is being featured in this year’s celebration because the council, Magante said “plays a significant role in monitoring the number of abused child in their locality and in ensuring that child rights is strictly implemented.” The launching, she said was held last October 3 at the Oval Plaza gymnasium followed by the conduct of day care sessions based on the rights of children with biblical references which started October 3 to 14. The city government through the CSWDO has also prepared socio-cultural activities slated October 17-26 at the barangay and district level. The socio-cultural activities and competitions included the following: ethnic dance, folk dance, interpretative dance, choral, declamations, quiz bowl, draw and tell a story and calisthenics. The culmination day on October 31 will also feature the same socio-cultural activities and other fun-filled presentations at the Oval Plaza gymnasium. According to her, the socio-cultural activities are important to showcase the skills and talents of the participants especially the children, of which the celebration is intended. Magante has urged the public to join in the celebration and also prodded all parents to take an active role in protecting the rights of children being also the “first people” who should observe and uphold. Winners at district levels will also be presented on the culmination day, Magante said. (CPIO/PIA General Santos City) | |||
