by Zarah Elizabeth Lauresta Arcega

In celebration of the children's month, a seminar on the rights of a child was held last October 14, 2011 at the Makati High School AVR.

With the theme “Local Council for the Protection of Children Para sa Bright Child: Pakilusin, Plakasin, Pagtulungan Natin”, the Makati Science High School Supreme Student Government, nine chosen students from III – Becquerel and IV – Einstein, mathematics coordinator, Mrs Theresa Ruiz, and SSG advisor, Mrs Mira Alegre, together with the first year students of MHS attended the seminar, which aimed to increase the students' awareness of their rights.

Organized by the Department of Social Welfare and Development, Ms Rhea Curamen, a social worker from the DSWD Child Youth and Welfare Sector, educated the students, along with their teacher, with a brief rundown of the contents of the Child and youth Welfare Code, which includes the responsibilities and rights of a child, the laws protecting these rights, the different forms of violations to these laws, the corresponding penalties for these violations, as well as the responsibilities of parents or guardians to their child.
