This year’s theme is dubbed as “Karapatang Pambata: Patuloy na Pahalagahan at Gampanan Tungo sa Magandang Kinabukasan” in relation to the “Karapatan ng mga Bata” of the Philippine Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) implementation and accomplishments and was approved by the Council Board on April 2019.
Despite Filipino children and their families' challenges in daily living compromising their human rights and benefits, this year’s celebration aims to celebrate the gains and successes of the country in promoting and protecting the children.
Further, the theme is also crafted to intensify the public’s awareness and remind all sectors of the community and society to be responsible in raising-up the Filipino child to become a well-rounded person.
“We need to further institutionalize a child-friendly environment and governance, and strengthen the actions of the stakeholders and partner agencies in implementing the rights of children,” said Mark Alison Follosco of the Regional Council for the Welfare of Children (RCWC).
He added, “It is also essential that children are empowered as right-holders and duty-bearers for them to deliver their responsibilities and commitments to promote, protect and fulfill their rights.”
