Despite the rainy weather that afternoon, the Council for the Welfare of Children, The Mindanao Coalition for Children’s Rights, Bantay Bata 163, Team Mabel and other child-focused organizations, pushed through with the Children’s Foot Parade at the People’s Park last Friday.

The event was spearheaded by the Davao City Council for the Welfare of Children in celebration of 20th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the rights of the child with this year’s theme: “CRC 20 na: Ano na?”

After the symbolic foot parade around the People’s Park, highlighting the occasion was the “Hudyaka sa Kabataan “program where different organizations had their presentations.

The event was in commemoration of the birth of the legally binding international instrument in teaching people to value children’s rights and a reminder to place children at the heart of human development.
