Celebration of the Christmas Season in Its Essence

Christmas is more than colorful lights, gifts, and festive music—it is a season that celebrates love, faith, and togetherness. At its core, Christmas reminds people of the birth of Jesus Christ, symbolizing hope, humility, and unconditional love. Beyond the decorations and celebrations, the true essence of Christmas is reflected in kindness, compassion, and gratitude shared with others.

One of the most meaningful parts of the Christmas season is spending time with family and loved ones. Simple moments such as sharing meals, attending church, exchanging stories, and laughing together strengthen relationships. These moments create lasting memories and remind us that presence matters more than presents. Christmas teaches us to slow down and appreciate the people who make our lives meaningful.

The spirit of giving is also central to the essence of Christmas. Helping the less fortunate, sharing what we have, and showing generosity without expecting anything in return reflect the true message of the season. Whether through donations, acts of service, or simple gestures of kindness, Christmas encourages everyone to be a source of light and hope to others.

Ultimately, celebrating Christmas in its essence means carrying its values beyond December. Love, peace, forgiveness, and generosity should not end with the season but continue throughout the year. When these values are lived daily, the true meaning of Christmas remains alive in our hearts.

The fact that numerous government organizations, local administrations, and civil society organizations are uniting under this banner to demonstrate that defending the rights, safety, and dignity of children is still a top priority for the country is encouraging. From my viewpoint, the government’s role in safeguarding children is multi-faceted and evolving, yet still full of challenges. On the positive side, the legal framework is becoming stronger: for instance, Republic Act 11930, the OSAEC...
