BALA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL 𝕊𝕊𝕃𝔾 𝕁𝕆𝕀ℕ𝔼𝔻 𝕋ℍ𝔼 ℂ𝔼𝕃𝔼𝔹ℝ𝔸𝕋𝕀𝕆ℕ 𝕆𝔽 𝕋ℍ𝔼 33rd ℂℍ𝕀𝕃𝔻ℝ𝔼ℕ'𝕊 𝕄𝕆ℕ𝕋ℍ

On November 28, 2025, the Moalboal Gymnasium transformed into a lively hub of joy and advocacy as it hosted this year’s Children’s Month Celebration with the national theme:

“𝗢𝗦𝗔𝗘𝗖-𝗖𝗦𝗔𝗘𝗠 𝗪𝗔𝗞𝗔𝗦𝗔𝗡: 𝗞𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗧𝗔𝗦𝗔𝗡 𝗔𝗧 𝗞𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗣𝗔𝗧𝗔𝗡 𝗡𝗚 𝗕𝗔𝗧𝗔, 𝗜𝗣𝗔𝗚𝗟𝗔𝗕𝗔𝗡!”

The festivities began with a colorful parade around Moalboal, where students proudly marched to showcase unity, enthusiasm, and their commitment to children’s rights. The event was spearheaded by the 𝙈𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙖𝙡 𝙎𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙛𝙖𝙧𝙚 and 𝘿𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙥𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙊𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚 (MSWDO) under the dynamic leadership of 𝙈𝙨. 𝘾𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙮 𝘿. 𝙑𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙣, with the wholehearted participation of the Federation of Supreme Secondary Learner Government (SSLG) and Supreme Elementary Learners Government (SELG) Officers, SELG and SSLG Advisers, and School Heads from various schools across the Moalboal District.

A highlight of the program was the 𝙈𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙜𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 delivered by 𝙃𝙤𝙣. 𝙈𝙖𝙮𝙤𝙧 𝙄𝙣𝙤𝙘𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙨 “𝙏𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜” 𝘾𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙣, who reaffirmed his administration’s unwavering dedication to children's welfare. He emphasized that every child deserves care, protection, and opportunities to thrive—remarks that drew heartfelt applause from the audience.

The celebration was further enriched by the presence of distinguished guests and speakers from various sectors who shared their expertise and advocacy for children’s welfare:

✅𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 (DOH) – Represented by RHU Nurses Mr. Stephan Cabaron, Ms. Charisse Pableo, and Mr. Arnel Gelardino, who provided valuable insights on reproductive health and the pressing issue of early teenage pregnancy.

✅𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 (PNP) – Represented by PCMS Josefina R. Beriarmente of the Women and Children Protection Desk (WCPD), who emphasized the rights of every child to be safeguarded. She presented RA 8353: The Anti-Rape Law of 1997, encouraging children to speak up and report cases of sexual harassment to their parents, barangay officials, or directly to the PNP. Her message resonated strongly, especially as more cases of abuse are now being reported even within households.

✅𝗟𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 – Atty. Kareel Berame shared his insights on RA 11930: The Anti-Online Sexual Abuse or Exploitation of Children Act (OSAEC) is a Philippine law that punishes and penalizes online sexual abuse or exploitation of children and the production, distribution, and possession of Child Sexual Abuse or Exploitation Materials (CSAEM), underscoring the urgent need for collective action to protect children in the digital age and empower the youth to stand against exploitation.

Adding to the excitement, the Jollibee mascot made a special appearance, bringing endless smiles and laughter to the children. His lively dance performance, engaging trivia questions, and the delicious lunch prepared for everyone truly made the day unforgettable—filling not only their tummies but also their hearts with joy.

The Local Government Unit (LGU) then selected two officers to represent the children on the Local Council for the Protection of Children (LCPC), serving as the official voice of the youth in matters directly affecting their welfare and rights. This significant step ensures that children are not only participants in celebrations but also active contributors in decision-making processes that shape their future. By giving them seats in the council, the LGU highlighted its commitment to empowering young leaders, amplifying their perspectives, and fostering a culture where children are heard, valued, and protected.

Thank you, MSWD and LGU-Moalboal, for this meaningful opportunity. Your unwavering support and commitment to children’s welfare made the 33rd National Children’s Month Celebration truly special. By working hand in hand with schools, agencies, and the community, you have given our young learners not only a day of joy but also a stronger voice in shaping their future.

Today’s glucose testing activity at Bala National High School became an important moment for many students. With the help of the Moalboal Lions Club, learners were given the chance to check their blood sugar and understand why monitoring their health matters. For some students, it was their first time getting tested, and it helped them see how small steps like this can protect their well-being.

Along with the glucose testing, a simple but meaningful feeding program was also prepared for the students. The warm meal they received served as a reminder that caring for one’s health includes proper nourishment and giving the body the energy it needs. This small act of sharing food showed kindness, support, and the community’s desire to help students stay strong and healthy. The process was simple, but the message behind it was meaningful: your health is important, and early awareness can make a big difference. Volunteers guided the students kindly and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable during the testing, and they served the meals with patience and care.

This activity showed how much the community cares, not just by offering services, but by giving students knowledge and support they can take home and share with their families. Through the glucose testing and feeding program, the Moalboal Lions Club reminded everyone that staying healthy starts with understanding your own body, eating well, and taking action while you’re still young.

A heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers, teachers, and Lions Club members who made this possible. Their service, patience, and dedication truly made the day special for the students.

Today, the entire Bala National High School community gathered in prayer and thanksgiving as we prayed the Holy Rosary, formed the Human Rosary, and celebrated the Holy Mass. These sacred activities remind us that every mission begins and ends with God, and that every leadership entrusted to us must always be guided by faith.

This day also marked a significant moment in our school’s history as we formally witnessed the turnover of leadership as our outgoing School Head, Mr. Daniel P. Reyes, officially entrusted the responsibility to our new School Head, Mrs. Maricel R. Sabandal.

We express our deepest gratitude to Mr. Reyes for his dedicated service, commitment, and guidance. And we extend our heartfelt welcome and prayers to Mrs. Sabandal as she begins her leadership journey here in Bala National High School with hope, integrity, and renewed vision.
