The City Social Welfare and Development Office - Calbayog City, Samar - ECCD & Protection Unit successfully conducted the Kick-off Parade last November 17, 2025 in celebration of the National Childrenโs Month 2025, with the official theme:

This month-long observance highlights the collective effort to protect children from Online Sexual Abuse and Exploitation of Children (OSAEC) and Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation Materials (CSAEM), as well as other forms of abuse and exploitation. Activities across the country aim to ensure that childrenโs rights, safety, and overall well-being remain a top priority.
The parade began and ended at the Calbayog City Hall Stage. The program opened with a heartfelt prayer led by Maโam Agnes G. Comota (CDT, Central CDC), followed by the National Anthem conducted by Maโam Ania H. Poรฑo (CDT, Matobato CDC).
