An Asset- The Hope

Mankind owes to the child the best it has to give. -Anonymous

     With accordance to the Presidential Proclamation 267, every October of the year here in the Philippines is celebrated as the National Children’s Month. It is the time of the year when Filipino children are recognized as valuable assets of the country. This October 2018, we come ti celebrate and i’ts theme is “ISULONG: TAMANG PAG-AARUGA PARA SA LAHAT NG BATA.”

     The children are the assets and hope of our future, as Jose Rizal once mentioned. This is true as they are the next generation that will take charge of the whole world. It is important to mold them into citizens that will take care of our land for the betterment of all. At a young age, they must be taken care of, and fed with information and lessons that will further help them. They should not be abused or hurt. They should not be harmed or hated.

     Children are like pots made of clay. It may come in different shapes and sizes. They are molded in different and various ways. And every hand that cooperates into molding that little pot has an essential role in the growth of an individual. The way the pot will be shaped greatly affects the child. And so, we must be careful in molding these pots. We must have utmost care in the process of building it. Let us shape these pots not only properly but also with love.

     A pot has a lot of functions. Sometimes, it is for display, or maybe to contain objects. But no matter what the use may be, we must handle with care. We must be careful enough so that the pot won’t slip and break.

     Children ate truly the assets and hope of our future. Let us all contribute in building a brighter generation for the world. Let’s not wait for tomorrow to come. Let us start now.

    HAPPY NATIONAL CHILDREN’S MONTH CELEBRATION!
