THE SCHOOLS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO PROTECTING
CHILDREN AGAINST VIOLENCE. VIOLENCE IS ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL REASONS
WHY CHILDREN DON'T GO TO SCHOOL. IT'S ALSO ONE OF THE CAUSES OF THE
ALARMING SCHOOL DROPOUT RATES.
WITH THIS, DEPED HAS ADOPTED THE POLICY TO PROVIDE SPECIAL PROTECTION
TO CHILDREN WHO ARE GRAVELY THREATENED OR ENDANGERED BY
CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH AFFECT THEIR NORMAL DEVELOPMENT AND OVER
WHICH THEY HAVE NO CONTROL, AND TO ASSIST THE CONCERNED AGENCIES IN
THEIR REHABILITATION. DEPED #40, S. 2012

TO OUR DEDICATED SCHOOL HEAD, DR, MARIA RHODORA P. ESPINO, AND TO MY
FELLOW HARDWORKING LHNHS TEACHERS WHO I’M SURE WOKE UP EARLY
TODAY, GOOD MORNING. I LET ME WELCOME EVERYONE TO OUR SERIES OF
SEMINARS ON CHILD PROTECTION.
I HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING GREAT THIS MORNING. LET’S ALL SMILE AND BE

SMILE SMILE SMILE!
FOR SMILING IS THE BEST AND SIMPLEST WAY TO SPREAD HAPPINESS AND
POSITIVITY, LET’S ALL SPREAD POSTIVITY AND GOOD VIBES TO OUR COOMUNITY
TODAY.
CHILDREN ARE THE FOUNDATION OF SOCIETY, AND THEY HAVE TO BE PROTECTED
IN A VERY GOOD WAY BECAUSE ABUSE AND NEGLECT OF CHILDREN CAN LEAD TO
NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES SUCH AS; DEPRESSION, DEVELOPMENTAL DELAYS AND
RISK OF DEVELOPING SUBSTANCE ABUSE DURING ADULTHOOD. IN ADDITION TO
THE IMPACT ON THE CHILD, CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT ALSO HAS PROFOUND,
BROAD IMPLICATIONS ON COMMUNITIES.
NOW, TO WELCOME US EVERYONE, LET’S HAVE A MESSAGE FROM THE EVER
SUPPORTIVE AND HARDWORKING SCHOOL HEAD OF LHNHS, HELP ME IN
WELCOMING OUR PRINCIPAL, DR. MARIA RHODORA P. ESPINO.
--------------------WELCOME REMARKS-------------------
THANK YOU FOR THAT WARM WELCOME AND UPLIFITNG MESSAGE, DR. MARIA
RHODORA P. ESPINO.
AMONG THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD IN BASIC EDUCATION ARE THE RIGHT TO
EDUCATION, RIGHT AGAINST DISCRIMINATION, RIGHT TO HEALTH, RIGHT TO
PARTICIPATION AND TO HAVE ONE'S VIEWS HEARD, RIGHT TO RELIGION, RIGHT TO
REST AND PLAY, AND RIGHT TO PROTECTION AGAINST ALL FORMS OF VIOLENCE,
ABUSE, NEGLECT, CRUELTY, AND EXPLOITATION. TEACHERS HAVE AN IMPORTANT
ROLE TO PLAY IN CHILD PROTECTION. THIS LIES NOT ONLY IN THE DETECTION
AND REPORTING OF POSSIBLE CASES OF CHILD ABUSE BUT ALSO IN MULTI-
DISCIPLINARY TEAMWORK, AND IN CONTRIBUTING TO THE ONGOING SUPPORT
AND MONITORING OF THE ABUSED CHILD.
TO TALK ABOUT THE STATEMENT OF PURPOSE, LET’S HEAR IT FROM NO OTHER
THAN HE GUIDANCE TEACHER OF LHNHS, MRS. ALMIRA A. DULCE.
--------------------STATEMENT OF PURPOSE-------------------
“CHILD PROTECTION” – REFERS TO PROGRAMS, SERVICES, PROCEDURES AND
STRUCTURES THAT ARE INTENDED TO PREVENT AND RESPOND TO ABUSE,
NEGLECT, EXPLOITATION, DISCRIMINATION AND VIOLENCE. “CHILDREN ARE
MORE THAN WE THINK THEY ARE; THEY CAN DO MORE THAN WE THINK THEY CAN
DO. ALL THEY NEED IS A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE FROM GROWNUPS, WHOM THEY
WILL ULTIMATELY REPLACE ANYWAY. THEIR DREAM TODAY WILL BECOME THE
REALITIES OF TOMORROW.”
LET’S MAKE OUR MORNING FRUITFUL, TO TALK ABOUT THE CHILD PROTECTION.
LET ME INTRODUCE AND WELCOME, THE GRADE LEVEL COORDINATOR OF GRADE
AND HEAD TEACHER OF ENGLISH, MRS. ARMIDA A. SANTOS.
--------------------CHILD PROTECTION POLICY-------------------
THANK YOU MA’AM SANTOS.
CHILDREN ARE THE WORLD'S MOST VALUABLE RESOURCE AND ITS BEST HOPE FOR
THE FUTURE.
WE MUST PROTECT FAMILIES, WE MUST PROTECT CHILDREN, WHO HAVE
INALIENABLE RIGHTS AND SHOULD BE LOVED, SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF
PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY, AND SHOULD NOT BE BROUGHT INTO THE WORLD
ONLY TO SUFFER.
“IT IS EASIER TO BUILD STRONG CHILDREN THAN TO REPAIR BROKEN MEN.”
I HOPE THAT YOU FIND OUR MORNING SEMINAR FRUITFUL AND WILL CONTRIBUTE
MEANINGFULLY TO YOUR DAILY LIVING. WITH THAT, MABUHAY AND ENJOY THE DAY!
I AM SIR DJ SALADAS, GOOD MORNING!
