Dahil sa Batang Handa, Mas Ligtas ang Bansa! 👧👦🇵🇭

Bawat bata ay may karapatang lumaki nang ligtas, minamahal at napangangalagaan. Bilang isa sa mga pangunahing katuwang ng pamahalaan sa pagtataguyod ng karapatan at kapakanan ng mga bata, patuloy na isinusulong ng DSWD ang mga programa at serbisyong nagbibigay-proteksiyon, suporta at pagkakataon para sa kanilang ligtas at maayos na paglaki.

Katuwang ang mga pamilya, komunidad at iba pang sektor, pinalalakas ng DSWD ang mga hakbang laban sa pang-aabuso, kapabayaan at karahasan. Alinsunod sa Republic Act No. 10661 (National Children's Month Act) na nagtatakda sa buwan ng Nobyembre bilang National Children’s Month, nakikiisa ang DSWD sa pagdiriwang ng 34th National Children’s Month 2026 na may temang “MANINDIGAN! TUMUGON AT KUMALINGA: SA BATANG HANDA, MAS LIGTAS ANG BANSA.”

Sa bawat batang ating pinakikinggan, pinoprotektahan at kinakalinga, nakakatulong tayo sa pagbuo ng mas ligtas na mga komunidad at kinabukasang puno ng pag-asa. Dahil ang pagtataguyod ng karapatan at pangangalaga sa bawat bata ay pananagutan nating lahat! 👪

NATIONAL ADHD AWARENESS WEEK 💙

Ngayong National ADHD Awareness Week, palawakin natin ang pag-unawa sa mga taong may Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Ang ADHD ay isang neurodevelopmental condition na maaaring makaapekto sa atensyon, pagkontrol sa kilos at pang-araw-araw na gawain. Gayunman, hindi nito binabawasan ang kakayahan, potensyal, o halaga ng isang tao.

Sa pagkilala sa kanilang mga pangangailangan at pagbibigay ng angkop na suporta, makakatulong tayong lumikha ng kapaligirang nagbibigay-daan sa kanilang pag-unlad.

Bilang bahagi ng layunin ng DSWD CAREvan na ilapit ang mga serbisyo sa mga island communities, patuloy nating isusulong ang lipunang may malasakit at paggalang sa pagkakaiba-iba, kung saan ang bawat isa ay may pagkakataong makatanggap ng kinakailangang suporta at mamuhay nang may dignidad.

Every child deserves a place to belong, a home filled with warmth, and a family to call their own.❤️

On September 9, 2026, the Reception and Study Center for Children (RSCC) IX conducted an Entrustment Activity for two children who were matched under Local Matching. This was followed by another successful entrustment activity on September 15, 2026, for a 2-year-old child matched under Inter-Regional Matching.

These moments represent new beginnings, renewed hope, and the opportunity for children to grow in a safe, loving, and nurturing family environment. 💙🩷

Behind every successful entrustment is a collective effort anchored in one shared commitment: to uphold the best interests of every child and ensure their right to grow in an environment where they are loved, protected, valued, and given the opportunity to thrive. 🏡🌈

The RSCC-IX successfully conducted its 3rd Quarter Staff Development Activity on August 20, 2026, with the theme, “Understanding Trauma Among Children, Strengthening Care, and Nurturing Staff Well-Being.”

The activity was enriched by the valuable insights of our invited resource speaker, Mr. Rolf Marcus Villano, Psychologist II from ZCMC, with the presence and support of Dr. Shara Jane Dawami, MD, and Ms. Connie J. Amalul, Regional Center Coordinator/Center Head of RSCC.

The session provided the staff with a deeper understanding of how trauma can affect children’s emotions, behavior, relationships, and overall development. It also highlighted the importance of trauma-informed care, enabling staff to respond to children with greater patience, empathy, sensitivity, and understanding, particularly those who have experienced abuse, neglect, abandonment, or other difficult life experiences.

Through activities such as this, RSCC IX continues to invest in its most valuable resource—its people. When staff are equipped, supported, and emotionally well, they are better able to provide safe, compassionate, and nurturing care to the children entrusted to their protection and care.❤️💛
