Vaccines: The Key in Unlocking a Better Future for Youth

            Republic Act No. 10661 titled an Act Declaring the Month of November of Every Year as the National Children’s Month and DepEd Memorandum 75, s. 2021 titled 2021 National Childres Month Celebration, for the Welfare of Children (CWC) in celebrating the 2021 National Children’s Month (NCM) with the theme, “New Normal Na Walang Iwanan: Karapatan ng Bawat Bata Ating Tutukan”. 

Poster by John Gabriel Aquino

 The pandemic that struck us holds nothing but terror and nightmares—locking down schools, cities, and towns, as well as the dreams and opportunities of children, snuffing out the "life" of us. But more than that, this new normal brought light to new beginnings: a call for tremendous academic recovery with the expansion of digital platforms for education, and most importantly, a race to the development and procurement of vaccines with high efficacy. We are hoping that this vaccine would be the key to unlock not just dreams but a better future for us children. A future where a disease could no longer hinder the full fulfillment of our rights and aspirations in life. Reflecting on the hope and possibilities, even in the challenges of today, a COVID-free world isn't far from being just a dream.   

This year's 29th NCM emphasis and topic will address a wide range of concerns concerning children's rights to survival, growth, protection, and participation in a new normal context. The festivities specifically seek to: Address chronic and growing challenges affecting children's rights to survival, development, protection, and participation from the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and today in the new normal setting of 2021. Increase the number of activities that are child-led, child-friendly, and child-sensitive. And empower children as right holders to claim and preserve their rights, as well as equip responsibility bearers to deliver on their commitments and fulfill their responsibilities to children.

A Message to an Ineffective Leader

  Dear President Duterte, Good day President! Congratulations on your term, thank God it is about to end. I hope you won't run for the position vice president. For the coming months, I am looking at your actions towards the situation of learners in online classes. In particular, the Philippines is one of the countries that didn't resume face-to-face class this school year, along with Venezuela. It's been more than a year since your first statement about suspending classes due to the pandemic, yet learners right now are still facing difficulties, problems, and inconveniences in learning. You don't care if no one graduates, schools tend to give lower quality of education. Less attention can be given to individual students and it is difficult to motivate them. We need to make sure that these learners will be properly educated and obtain the knowledge and skills needed to ensure social and economic growth. Philippines is the only country that hasn...

How an Artist Paints His Life

My whole name is John Gabriel Aguimbag Aquino. My friends often call me by the names: Gab, and Gabi.🌚 I go with the pronouns he and him. I'm an artist, I excel at mediums like charcoal, graphite, and oil paint. I am artistic, soft and sensitive. I like to watch documentaries, draw hyper-realistic portraits, paint still-life paintings and create memes and post them on my social media. And I also post my artworks to inspire other artists to continue their passion for art. 📏📐 In at 12 o'clock in the daytime on October 14th, 2005, my mother birthed me into this world. My name was derived from my grandfather's name, Juan, which is John in E nglish, and Gabriel is obviously derived from the archangel. I am the only child of Mr. Michael Rafanan Aquino and Mrs. Delia Aguimbag Aquino. I had an interest in art at a young age. My older cousin would always bring coloring books to compete with me during my childhood. I joined DSPC in 4th grade and I got 2nd...
