THERE ARE COUPLES OF LAWS THAT PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF A CHILD. THERE ARE LAWMAKERS BOTH ON THE LOCAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITIES WHO CHAMPIONED FOR THESE CAUSE. I ADMIRED AND RESPECT THESE PEOPLE.
BEFORE GOING ANY FURTHER, FIRST LET ME DEFINE WHAT IS A CHILD. A CHILD IS A PERSON WHO IS 18 YEARS OLD AND YOUNGER. A PERSON WHO IS ABOVE 18 BUT CANNOT TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF DUE TO CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES.
THE RIGHTS OF EVERY FILIPINO CHILD:
1. TO BE BORN, TO HAVE A NAME AND NATIONALITY
2. TO BE FREE AND TO HAVE A FAMILY WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF ME.
3. TO HAE A GOOD EDUCATION.
4. TO DEVELOP MY POTENTIALS.
5. TO HAVE ENOUGH FOOD, SHELTER, A HEALTHY AND CTIVE BODY.
6. TO BE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY FOR PLAY AND LEISURE.
7. TO BE GIVEN PROTECTION AGAINST ABUSE, DANGER AND VIOLENCE BROUGHT BY WAR AND CONFLICT.
8. TO LIVE IN A PEACEFUL COMMUNITY.
9. TO BE DEFENDED AND ASSISTED BY THE GOVERNMENT.
10. TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS MY OWN VIEWS.
AS I GO THROUGH AND REVIEW THESE BASIC RIGHTS OF A CHILD, FOR SURE, IN ONE WAY OF ANOTHER YOU ARE GUILTY OF VIOLATING THE SAID RIGHTS WHICH I INCLUDED MYSELF.
THE RIGHT TO BE BORN, TO HAVE A NAME AND NATIONALITY
THE ROMAN CATHOLIC HIERARCHY OPPOSES THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH BILL FOR WHAT REASONS? I DO NOT BELONG TO THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH ANYMORE AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT EITHER TO QUESTION MY PERSONAL BELIEF. THOUGH I AM NOT A CHILD ANYMORE, ASSUMING I WAS, UNDER THE CHILD BASIC RIGHTS, THE CHILD HAD THE RIGHT TO EXPRESS HIS/HER OWN VIEWS.
I DO NOT TOTALLY AGREE WITH THEM, NOR QUESTIONING THEIR WISDOM, WHY THEY DON’T WANT TO PASS THE SAID REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH BILL WHICH OPENLY PROMOTING CONDOMS AND OTHER CONTRACEPTIVES AS A MEASURES OF BIRTH CONTROL.
ABORTION AND OTHER MEANS OF KILLING INNOCENT LIVES INSIDE THE WOMAN’S WOMB MUST BE OPPOSE AND STOP AT ONCE AND PENALIZE THE GUILTY CULPRITS.
IF THIS IS THE REASON OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, THEN THERE IS NO REASON FOR US NOT TO JOIN FOR A CHILD HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE BORN, TO HAVE A NAME AND NATIONALITY.
RIGHT TO BE FREE AND TO HAVE A FAMILY WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF ME.
HOW I WISH BACK THEN TO BE FREE LIKE ANY NORMAL KIDS ENJOYING THEIR YOUTHFULNESS WORRY AND TROUBLE FREE BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE FAMILY WHO ARE TAKING CARE OF THEM. HOW ABOUT THOSE CHILDREN THAT AT THE EARLY STAGE OF THEIR LIVES ARE WORKING FOR SURVIVAL?
AS I LOOK AROUND AND SEE A LOT OF KIDS DOING WHAT I DID DURING MY CHILDHOOD, I SAID TIME DOES NOT CHANGE AS IT SHOULD BE. SITUATION IS STILL THE SAME. PROGRESS IS VERY SLOW. MY NATION BECAME POORER AND ONLY A HANDFUL ARE BLESSED. CONSIDERING 40 YEARS HAD BEEN PASSED.
NOW YOU CAN STILL SEE PICTURES OF A HOPELESS CHILD IN EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD FIGHTING FOR THEIR SURVIVAL. A GREAT VOLUMES OF LEADERS HAVE COME AND GONE PROMISING FOR A BETTER FUTURE OF THIS CHILDREN BUT COME SHORT OF THEIR PROMISES.
