FOR EVERY CHILD, A VOICE: Twenty-seven children from across the country played senators for a few hours as part of the celebration of the World Children Month Thursday, November 23, 2017. The children, who held a mock Senate session, voiced their concerns on sexual exploitation, teenage pregnancy and school bullying. Photo shows Senator Francis Pangilinan (6th from left) receiving a “declaration of commitment” from Jel Latiban, 15, a student representative from Mary Knoll Academy. Also present but not in photo during the event was Senator Risa Hontiveros, chairperson of the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality.
