World Day of Prayer and Action for Children • 20 November 2025

Children move through the world with open hands, hoping the adults around them won’t let go. They depend on us long before they understand why life can be heavy.

Being “united for children” isn’t some big slogan. It’s the everyday choice to stand side by side for someone who can’t fight their battles yet. It’s adults putting aside the usual noise—ego, pressure, drama—and choosing what actually matters: kids growing up safe, steady, and seen.

It starts small.

• A home where patience wins over anger.

• A school where kindness isn’t just printed on posters but lived in hallways.

• A community where every child feels protected, not tested.

Prayer brings the quiet strength to do this. Action brings the proof.

Children don’t ask for perfection. They just look for people who won’t abandon them when life gets confusing. People who show them that goodness still has a place in this world.

“United for Children” is a reminder that childhood is short, but its impact lasts a lifetime—and the unity we build today becomes the foundation they’ll stand on tomorrow.

National Day of Awareness and Unity against Child Pornography • September 28

In 2025, the fight against child pornography in the Philippines revealed both pain and progress.

The DOJ secured convictions against parents who exploited their own children online. The NBI arrested sellers of child sexual abuse materials in Bulacan, Marikina, and other cities. In each case, children were rescued from homes where cameras replaced safety and greed replaced love.

The Commission on Human Rights warned that online abuse remains a serious human rights crisis. International groups raised alarms that the Philippines is still a hotspot for livestreamed exploitation, where poverty is twisted into profit and children are treated as content.

Yet every conviction, every rescue, every report is light breaking into the dark. Laws only matter when they are enforced, and society is only safe when it protects its most vulnerable.

That is why September 28—National Day of Awareness and Unity against Child Pornography—is not just a date. It is a call for Filipinos to see, to speak, and to stand together so that no child is ever reduced to an image of abuse again.
