Village chief: Protect children’s rights
ANGELES CITY – Balibago village chief Rodelio Mamac has urged the people to protect the rights of the children through mass awareness.
Mamac issued the statement Saturday during the press conference for “The Worlds Children’s Price for the Rights of the Child (WCP)” sponsored by the Angeles City Gender and Development, Visayan Forum Foundation, IMA Foundation, Balibago City Council, International Youth Fellowship, and other children’s organizations.
Mamac said a lot of children are victims of physical and mental abuse.
“It is about time that all of us should be aware of the rights of children,” the village chief said.
Children from this city joined the global search for the WCP where Ann Skelton of South Africa was voted because of her 25-year battle for the rights of children affected by the justice system.
WCP is an annual global search for outstanding individuals who have dedicated their lives to protecting the welfare of children. The Prize Laureates became role models for millions of children.
The patrons of WCP include three global legends — Nelson Mandela; democracy champion Aung San Suu Kyi of Burma; and freedom fighter Xanana Gusmao, now Prime Minister of East Timor.
Queen Silvia of Sweden is also a patron, along with child’s rights expert and world-leading member of The Elders, Graca Machel.
This year’s other WCP candidates are Anna Mollel (Tanzania) for her more than 20 years struggle for Maasai children with disabilities and Sakena Yacoobi (Afghanistan) for her long and often life-threatening fight for girls’ rights to education.
Filipina freedom fighter Cecilia Flores Oebanda was one of last year’s WCP honorary awardees for her 20-year fight against modern-day slavery.
Oebanda is also the founding president and executive director of the Visayan Forum Foundation, Incorporated.
Nominations for the WCP are gathered worldwide through a global voting system. A child jury is convened to choose the final three candidates for the search.
Members of the child jury are former child soldiers, debt slaves, homeless children, and others.
The awarding ceremony will be held in Mariefred, Sweden on May 23. Children from different countries and Queen Silvia of Sweden will pay tribute to the Prize Laureates.
The WCP is a unique educational program for children, working to promote a more humane world. Some 58,000 schools with 27 million students in 107 countries support the Prize as Global Friend School.
Every year millions of children learn through the program learn about their rights.
