A call to protect digital childhoods

The 2025 National Children’s Month in the Philippines, anchored on the theme “OSAEC-CSAEM Wakasan: Kaligtasan at Karapatan ng Bata, Ipaglaban!" highlighted a critical and often overlooked reality: children today face dangers not only in their physical environments but also in digital spaces. OSAEC stands for Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children, and CSAEM refers to Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials criminal acts involving the abuse, coercion, or exploitation of children via digital technology. This theme urges Filipino society to unite against these pervasive threats and centers the celebration on children’s safety and rights in the digital age. 


This year’s observances across the country from national government agencies to local councils focused on raising awareness, strengthening reporting mechanisms, and promoting community-level protection strategies. Government units like the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC) emphasized the need for vigilance, cyber safety education, and citizen involvement. Filipinos were reminded to use tools like the MAKABATA Helpline (1383) to report abuse and to be proactive in safeguarding children online.

This activity reminded us that taking care of the environment is not only about removing waste but also about giving back to nature.

San Vicente is a treasure of nature, history, and culture. I think it's one of the towns you should go to if you want a different kind of experience.  The historic church, which is a symbol of the people's unity and faith, is not to be missed.  Dinosaur Island is a family-friendly destination that is sure to amaze you with its abundance of fun and educational activities.  The residents of San Vicente are also very proud of their creative furniture and excellent salt. These goods, I think that are, serve as a symbol of their diligence and inventiveness in addition to being a source of income. Certainly, a trip to San Vicente .
