Journey of Elpidio Quirino

Elpidio Quirino, I've heard some stories about him before. Though I don't think I can give the best insight about him, I'll try to write what I know about what he did. May not be my best post but I'll try my best.

He was a political leader and the second president of the independent Republic of the Philippines. He obtained a law degree from the University of the Philippines, near Manila and has since been practicing the law and was elected as member of the Philippine House of Representatives. He was a member of the Philippine independence mission to Washington, DC, which was led by Manuel Quezon, which secured the passage in Congress of the Tydings McDuffie Act.

Served as secretary after World War II and vice president under the first president of the Philippines. President Quirino's government was confronted with a significant challenge: the Hukbalahap, a communist-led insurgency. The Communists gradually seized control of the group's leadership. When Quirino's talks with Huk commander Luis Taruc collapsed in 1948, Taruc publicly proclaimed his allegiance to communism and demanded the government's overthrow.

Quirino's presidency, spanning six years, was defined by significant postwar rebuilding efforts, overall economic progress, and a surge in economic assistance from the United States.  Fundamental social issues persisted, especially in the countryside, and Quirino's government was marred by pervasive bribery and corruption.

 Magsaysay, having mostly quelled the Huk insurgency, found himself at odds with Quirino over corruption. He championed clean elections, and in the 1953 presidential race, he bested Quirino, representing the Nacionalista party. And after all that, Qurino retired to a private life.

I don't know where I was going with this honestly. I just put some stuff here and there. Sorry for this burnt unbaked blog.

National Children's Month

National Children's Month is a great way to celebrate the happiness and joy of children for their optimism and energy. Unfortunately, though, some adults may not treat the children right as there are some parents that neglect and abuse their children, some children also get exploited from disgusting predators for their own selfish pleasure. Thankfully, the government has implemented laws that could ensure the safety of the young.

There are laws OSAEC and CSAEM that strengthen other existing laws that make stricter measures to protect the children from online harm that create any depictions of abuse. This law works with the Anti-Child Pornography Act of 2009 (R.A. No. 9775) and the Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination Act (R.A. No. 7610) to make sure that international treaties like the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and other child protection protocols are followed. Even other organizations like Save the Children also exist in order to help children have a healthy life to experience.

With all these things here, I think the laws have helped greatly in protecting the children. Even though there might still be more abuse, there are responders that could be called into helping the young and make them feel safe. I hope all the children in the world(Including me) have a great and hopeful life ahead of them and we can expect all of them to be all great adults in the future.
