The National Childrenβs Month, every November, not only
commemorates the Philippinesβ adoption of the United Nations
Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Rather, it serves as a
focal point for a national movement to draw attention to the issues which
children face, reflect on our societal efforts to address them, and amplify
our collective duty to respect, promote, protect, and uphold childrenβs
rights.
By virtue of Republic Act No. 10661 s. 2015, it seeks to celebrate childrenβs
role in society and nation-building, and recognizes the need to uphold
their rights at all times.
