This November 2025, MORESCO-1 proudly commemorates two important national observances — the National Children’s Month and the Filipino Values Month — both highlighting the nation’s commitment to nurturing and protecting the Filipino child and promoting the timeless values that define our people.
In observance of Republic Act No. 10661, otherwise known as the “National Children’s Month Act,” the Department of Education leads the 33rd National Children’s Month celebration with the theme:
“OSAEC-CSAEM Wakasan: Kaligtasan at Karapatan ng Bata, Ipaglaban!”
This year’s campaign calls for stronger collective action to end Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children and the spread of Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation Materials (OSAEC-CSAEM) — issues that threaten the safety, dignity, and rights of every Filipino child. The celebration reminds us of our shared duty to protect the young and to create safe, supportive spaces for their growth and development.
At the same time, we also celebrate Filipino Values Month 2025, pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 479, s. 1994, which enjoins all Filipinos to uphold the moral, spiritual, and cultural values that strengthen our national identity.
With the theme:
“Kagandahang-Loob, Katotohanan, at Bayanihan: Pundasyon ng Makabuluhang Pagkatuto at Matatag na Sambayanan,” this year’s observance encourages every Filipino to embody kindness, truth, and community spirit — values that nurture meaningful learning and build resilient, compassionate communities.
Let us live out these virtues every day — by being kind, truthful, and helpful, at home, in school, and in our workplaces. Together, let us show the true heart of a Filipino — maalalahanin, matapat, at handang maglingkod! ????????????
