Filipinos are known all over the world for our good traits and values. That is why, we should continue to teach the youth and children to stay humble and good. But look around us, teenagers and also young children are so focused on using gadgets such as cellphones, laptops, and tablets. We can also notice that children nowadays don't know how to use "po" and "opo" which is very sad.
Every November, the Values Month is being celebrated. This year's Values Month Celebration's theme is "Pamilyang Pilipino Patatagin; Susi sa Paghubog ng Kabataang Makadiyos, Makatao, Makakalikasan, at Makabansa". This year, the Values Month Celebration focuses on teenagers because just like what I've said before, teenagers and kids are very into gadgets and other stuffs which is too early for them to explore. The theme shows that every learning begins in home. This celebration aims to develop teenagers to become better people for their future. Some of the activities conducted during this month-long celebration were the essay writing: which helped the students in developing their writing skills, prayer making or doxology: which strengthens the faith of students in God, quiz bowl: which is good for students because they gained more knowledge about being a good person, and many other activities. In this short period of time, students had the chance to showcase their hidden talents and to change for the better.
Losing in those activities isn't the important thing, but gaining more knowledge and realizing that they should do what is the right thing to do is the important thing. Rizal said that the youth is the hope of our future, that is why we should help them in bringing out their best. Let us help in strengthening the 4Ms in them: Makadiyos, Makatao, Makakalikasan, at Makabansa. And to my fellow teenagers and kids, let us try our very best to change for the better not only for ourselves, but for everyone around us. Let us face the future hand-in-hand. Let us prove that we are the hope and that we will make the future better and brighter. Will you take my hand and join me?
