Protecting Children's in the Digital Era

        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

        We all know that we’re in the digital era, where almost all children have access to the internet, opening ways for entertainment and learning. But it also opens access to serious threats, particularly online sexual abuse and exploitation. This is why the 2025 National Children's Month theme: “OSAEC-CSAEM Wakasan: Kaligtasan at Karapatan ng Bata, Ipaglaban!” ("End Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) and Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials (CSAEM): Fight for the Safety and Rights of Children!"), is crucial. It reminds us that while technology can be very beneficial for childrens entertainment, growth, and learning, it must also be a safe space where children’s rights are protected and secured. Through awareness, education, and laws, we can form a great society that protects children's from abuse and exploitation, strengthening the protection and rights of every Filipino child.

     ---------------------------------------------------------------------
         The government is working to keep the kids safe online through laws like the Republic Act 11930 (OSAEC-CSAEM) and programs led by the Council for the Welfare of Children, the National Youth Commission, and the Department of Social Welfare and Development. They conduct awareness campaigns and provide education to help children use the internet safely. I believe these laws and programs are very important for protecting children. But, despite the government’s efforts, I strongly believe that parents and guardians should also play an active role in watching over and guiding their children on the internet to keep them safe.

        With the laws and policies implemented by the government and the efforts of parents to protect their children, the National Children’s Month not only reminds us of the importance of protecting children from these dangers but also reminds us that implementing these laws and working together is important. By cooperating, we can make sure that children can use and explore the digital world safely and grow without fear.

The Pieces That Shape Me: Formed by Hobbies, Pages, Peace, and Empathy

Image
             M y name is Athena Rane I. Reburon, and I'm currently in Grade 10 under the Special Science Program in Ilocos Sur National High School. I'm 15 years old and I live with my parents and my older sister, whom I’m very thankful for. I enjoy exploring and learning new things, especially those that spark my creativity and challenge my knowledge. Being part of this program motivates me to do my best while trying to balance my academics with the hobbies I love.            B ooks—others might find them boring, but for me, they are one of the things I truly love. Fantasy and mystery thrillers are my favorite genres, because they allow me to dive into different worlds and experience exciting, unpredictable adventures. As the saying goes, "A person who doesn't read lives only once, while a reader lives many lives." Whether it's exploring a magical realm or investigating a gripping crime story, I al...

Together for a Greener Community (1st Quarter Thematic Project)

Image
  H ere, I'm helping clean our barangay by sweeping to collect trash and by taking out weeds for a safer, cleaner, and greener environment. I n this picture, me and our club are working together to clean our school. It shows that teamwork makes a bigger impact in keeping our community clean and environment-friendly. T his 3rd  photo shows how we recycle our trash at home and turn it into something useful, like a pot we use to plant vegetables. I n this 4th photo, me and my family segregate our garbage. Since the garbage collector doesn’t reach our house, we collect it ourselves and travel to properly dispose it in a designated area. By starting in our home and working together, we can create a greener, cleaner, and better environment for everyone. We can achieve a clean and green community as long as we stay united and committed in taking care of our surroundings. . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ˖ . ݁༉‧₊˚.°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･· · ─ ·𖥸· ─ · · ₊˚.°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔*: . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ⊹ . ...

1st Quarter: Learning Through Lessons and Problems

Image
            T his quarter was full of ups and downs. I learned a lot — not just from academic lessons, but also through personal experiences that helped me become better at handling challenges.           I n ICT, I discovered so much about the history of something we really love and use every day — the internet. It was really interesting to learn how it all started, from the launch of Sputnik and how it was first intended for military use, to how it eventually became accessible to almost everyone around the world. Through each group reporting, I learned about the key people who contributed to its development made me realize how much work and innovation went into creating something we always take for granted.            W e also learned about websites, including web addresses, HTTP, and ccTLDs (country code top-level domains), which help locate websites. I now understand what t...
