Keep in Mind
Suggested Time Allotment: 10 minutes
Though you already had taken up child’s rights in your previous grade levels and lessons, let’s try to revisit The Rights of a Filipino Child which is under the Presidential Decree No. 603 or the Child and Youth Welfare Code. It states that the child is one of the most important assets of the nation. Likewise, the UNICEF Convention on the Rights of the Children has also identified the following child rights:
1. Every child has the right to life, survival and development.
2. Every child has the right to name and nationality. 3. Every child has the right to keeping families together. 4. Every child has the right to be educated. 5. Every child has the right to play and enjoy whenever they have the opportunity. 6. Every child has the right to be protected from abuse of adults. 7. Every child has the right to live peacefully away from bad influences. 8. Every child has the right to be cared whenever their parents are not available or cannot sustain their needs. 9. Every child has the right to express their views and opinions and to their privacy. 10. Every child has the right to grow up peacefully and getting what they want for the good of their lives.
All child rights are human rights, which were especially created for children’s protection and for them to become better individuals. According to UNICEF Committee on the Rights of the Child, there are 4 main areas or “baskets” (groups) of Children’s Rights; these are the right to protection from discrimination, abuse, neglect, exploitation, torture; the right to survival, comprising the elements of life, nutrition, water, health, air; the right to participation, including expression of views, decision- making, access to information, freedom of association; and right to development which includes education, standard of living, adequate for the child’s physical, mental,
10 spiritual, moral and social development.
11 Aside from rights, children also have roles such as being a son or daughter, sibling, grandchild, student and a person among others. The roles of children nowadays are also no longer based on sex since we are now embracing gender equity, wherein a girl can do the tasks previously intended for a boy, and vice versa. Both sexes can do home repairs, laundry, cooking, sewing and many more.
Children have rights and roles. However, there are also
responsibilities that go along with them. These make up the three Rs of a child.
Based on the Child and Youth Welfare Code, the following are the identified responsibilities of a child:
1. Strive to lead an upright and virtuous life in accordance to one’s
religion, the teachings of his elders and mentors, and his clean conscience;
2. Love, respect, and obey his parents, and cooperate with them in the strengthening of the family; this includes following the health and safety protocols in this time of pandemic such as observing physical distancing, frequent handwashing, wearing of face masks and face shields, sanitize objects and items, and consult medical attention when there are symptoms.
3. Extend to his brothers and sisters his love, thoughtfulness, and
helpfulness, and endeavor with them to keep the family harmonious and united;
4. Exert his utmost to develop his potentialities for service, particularly
by undergoing a formal education suited to his abilities, in order that he may become an asset to himself and the society; This includes studying well for your future.
5. Respect not only his elders but also the customs and traditions of people, the memory of heroes, the authorities, the laws of our country and the principles and institutions of democracy;
6. Participate actively in civic affairs and in the promotion of the general welfare.
7. Help in the observance of individual human rights.
12 Your three Rs will make you appreciate yourself better. Know your basic rights; perform your roles well; and act on your responsibilities. Your three Rs will make you a vital part of the community.
