          "Joy to the world the Lord has come, let Earth receive her King. Let every heart prepare Him room and Heaven and nature sing...." As the song goes, let every mankind rejoice for the king and the savior has come. Open your heart and enkindle in your mind that Christmas is the birth of our savior Jesus Christ. 

          They say that the true essence of Christ mas is not about giving gifts, exchanging cards. It is about giving love and sharing your joyfulness to everyone. It's not about receiving. It is about giving. But, is the true essence of Christmas is really within us? 

          We can all feel the cold breeze of December. We are feeling it since the start of the "BER" month. Every 25th of December, we are all celebrating the birth of our savior Jesus Christ in which it is the most awaited time of the year. Christmas is when yoy and your family comes together. You forget all the problems and struggles you are facing. You do not hear cries, instead you hear laughters and you can clearly see the genuinity of their smiles. It's a tradition of every Filipinos to celebrate Christmas season which historically adopted from the Western countries. Hanging "parols", decorating Christmas lights and Christmas tree became a practice of Filipinos. Children and in some times, adults often carols from house to house. Christmas is trully a significant season for the Filipinos. 

          Nowadays, many people tend to forget about what really the essence of Christmas is. For them, christmas is receiving gift from others. They are more into material things. In reality, some people can no longer feel the true spirit of Christmas. 

          The true essence of Christmas is the birth of our savior Jesus Christ to redeem the world from our sins. Let us put into our minds and into our hearts that Christmas is a gift to us from God-our Loving Father!

Children's Month 2018

             

           “It takes a village to raise a child. Let us all work together to end their violence against children so that they will become productive citizen of our country. Let us all push for positive parenting and positive discipline”, Cajayon said.

                Every month of November we celebrate National Children’s Month as stated in Republic act 10661 to commemorate the adopting of the convention on the Rights of the Child by the United Nationj General Assembly on November 20,1980. The celebration seeks to increase knowledge of parents/caregivers on how to handle or educate their children while in the cyberspace; intensify the advocacy of positive discipline in classrooms dynamics in daily teaching; provide space for children’s participation in the legislative advocacy; push for the passage of the positive discipline bill and celebrate gain and successes on child rights promotions and protection of the country. 

                Positive Discipline, as stipulated in the bill is disciplining children without resorting to physical or corporal punishment, such as spanking, hitting, slapping, shouting, or shaming.

                The theme for the National Children’s month 2018 is “Isulong: Tamang Pag-aaruga sa lahat ng bata” We must not teach children in doing bad acts or showing them bad actions. We must teach them good manner and right conduct in a good way. In Philippines, there are many parents that is disciplining their children in a wrong way such as abusing them physically.

                We must stop this acts so that children will be disciplined in a good way. Help children. Be responsible.
