Sa panahon ng mabilis na pag-unlad ng teknolohiya, lahat tayo may papel sa pagpapanatili ng ligtas na digital na mundo para sa kabataan! Kaisa ang NCC-OSAEC-CSAEM, ating pinagdiriwang ang Safer Internet Day 2025!
Paano tayo makakaisa sa Digital Bayanihan?
-Maging responsable sa paggamit ng internet – Iwasan ang pagpapakalat ng maling impormasyon at sensitibong content.
-Gabayan ang kabataan – Ituro ang tamang paggamit ng internet at paano iwasan ang cyberbullying, sextortion, at online exploitation.
-Iulat at labanan ang abuso – Kung may nakikitang mapang-abuso na aktibidad online tulad ng Online Sexual Abuse or Exploitation of Children (OSAEC), i-report ito agad sa tamang ahensya.
-Palakasin ang digital literacy – Turuan ang mga bata ng online safety practices upang mapanatili silang ligtas sa internet.
Panoorin ang video na ito mula sa Stairway Foundation at alamin kung paano natin maisasabuhay ang Digital Bayanihan upang protektahan ang ating kabataan!
Sama-sama nating gawing ligtas at positibo ang internet para sa lahat!

PHILIPPINES CHAMPIONS ONE COUNTRY TEAM APPROACH IN IMPLEMENTING GLOBAL COMPACT ON MIGRATION AT UNITED NATIONS REGIONAL BODY
BANGKOK, 12 FEBRUARY 2025 - The Philippines championed the One-Country Team Approach in the implementation of the United Nations Global Compact for Migration at the regional multi-stakeholder meeting held in Thailand.
The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP), together with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), hosted the Second Asia-Pacific Regional Review of the Implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) on 04-06 February 2025 at the UN Conference Center in Bangkok.
The Philippine delegation was led by Assistant Secretary for Migration Affairs of the Department of Foreign Affairs, Republic of the Philippines Robert O. Ferrer, Jr. and consisted of representatives from the Department of Migrant Workers, Commission on Population and Development, National Economic and Development Authority, and the Philippine Embassy in Bangkok. The government delegation also engaged members of Philippine civil society and non-governmental organizations present.
In the Philippines’ country statement, Assistant Secretary Ferrer proudly shared that the Philippines has come a long way in addressing migration issues and implementing the GCM since voting for its adoption in 2018. He credited the strong collaboration among Philippine agencies and the Philippine government’s dynamic partnership with other governments and like-minded states, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and civil society with the significant gains achieved by the country in protecting Filipino migrants across the globe.
Commission of Population and Development Executive Director Lisa Grace Bersales, one of the panelists in a roundtable on improving value-driven and evidence-based policymaking, urged the Regional Commission to look into the welfare, not just of labor
PHILIPPINE LEADERSHIP IN DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND CLIMATE ACTION RECOGNIZED IN REGIONAL MEET OF ASIAN DISASTER PREPAREDNESS CENTER
BANGKOK, 29 JANUARY 2025 - Ambassador Millicent Cruz Paredes led the Philippine delegation to the 18th Meeting of the Regional Consultative Committee of the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) on 23-24 January 2025, which was co-hosted by the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) of the Ministry of Interior of Thailand.
The ADPC, a Bangkok-based international organization, held its biennial consultations with its member states, observers, and international partners on the theme of “Sustainable Anticipatory Actions for Resilient Development Goals.” Key topics covered were: (i) advancing disaster risk reduction through technology and innovative solutions; (ii) supporting the localization of priority actions; and (iii) mobilizing disaster and climate financing.
In her opening remarks, Ambassador Paredes highlighted that the Philippines is most vulnerable to climate change and highly susceptible to extreme weather conditions. To stress this, she cited how in late 2024, six typhoons (including super-typhoons) hit within 30 days – an unprecedented occurrence. Ambassador Paredes thus called on all members and partners to lend their full support to the work and the conference of the ADPC.
The ADPC Secretariat, along with the Asia-Pacific office of the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), highlighted the active role of the Philippines in disaster risk reduction and climate, notably as Chairs of the ADPC 17th RCC meeting in December 2022 and the 2024 Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on Disaster Risk (APMCDRR) both held in Manila.
Noting the value of regional cooperation in addressing shared, transboundary issues such as disasters and climate change, Ambassador Paredes renewed the Philippines’ confidence in the ADPC’s continued leverage of its technical expertise and strong networks

BANGKOK, 23 JANUARY 2025 - Philippine Ambassador to the Kingdom of Thailand H.E. Millicent Cruz Paredes paid a courtesy call on H.E. Mongkol Surasajja, President of the Senate and Vice President of the National Assembly of the Kingdom of Thailand, on 22 January 2025.
Ambassador Paredes and Senate President Mongkol expressed great satisfaction with the further deepening of relations between the Philippines and Thailand, propelled by the yearlong celebration of the milestone 75th Anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Friendship between the two countries on 14 June 1949.
They discussed the various commemorative activities held under the ambit of the 75th Anniversary, notably the visits to the Philippines of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn and Foreign Minister of Thailand Maris Sangiampongsa, and Thailand of then Senate President Juan Miguel F. Zubiri, and Secretary for Foreign Affairs Enrique A. Manalo.
Ambassador Paredes also conveyed the Philippines’ appreciation for the warm reception of the Thai Parliament for visiting members of the Philippine Senate and House of Representatives. Senate President Mongkol said that such visits and the close collaboration in inter-parliamentary bodies such as the Inter-Parliamentary Union, Asia-Pacific Parliamentary Forum (APPF), and ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Assembly (AIPA) demonstrate the very close parliamentary cooperation between the Philippines and Thailand.
Among the many areas of bilateral cooperation, Ambassador Paredes highlighted the exchange of knowledge and experiences in peace and development as a unique strength of the Philippines-Thailand relationship. She noted the strong leadership of the respective parliaments in this aspect and shared her memorable visits to Thailand’s Deep South.
Ambassador Paredes thanked Senate President Mongkol for the warm welcome and h

BANGKOK, 20 JANUARY 2025 - Information and Communications Technology Secretary Ivan John Uy led the Philippine delegation to the 5th ASEAN Digital Ministers’ Meeting and Related Meetings hosted by the government of Thailand from 13 to 17 January 2025.
Guided by the theme “Secure, Innovative, Inclusive: Shaping ASEAN’s Digital Future, ASEAN Digital Ministers addressed ways the region can cooperate more closely on trusted digital services, anti-online scam initiatives, e-government services, digital technologies, and digital skills for businesses and communities. The ASEAN Digital Ministers also met with the ministers of Dialogue and Development Partners namely China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the United States, India, and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
At the plenary session, Secretary Uy proudly shared the strides of the Philippines toward achieving a secure, innovative, and inclusive digital transformation, particularly through the eGovPH app platform which provides round-the-clock vital social services to over 10 million users nationwide. “This achievement illustrates how technology can close the digital divide, particularly for marginalized sectors and geographically isolated and disadvantaged communities across more than 7,000 islands in our archipelagic nation.”
Secretary Uy also attributed the improvement in the Philippines’ standing in the United Nations Global Security Index Tier 2 status to the impactful results of the key policies embodied in the Executive Order for the National Cybersecurity Plan for 2023-2028.
As the Guest of Honor, Thailand’s Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra underscored three critical issues that shape ASEAN’s collective digital future: online scams; misinformation and disinformation; and the informative power of artificial intelligence (AI). She urged ASEAN to respond to

BANGKOK, 30 DECEMBER 2024 - With the theme “Rizal sa Bagong Pilipinas: Buhay at Aral, Aming Nilalandas” (Rizal in the New Philippines: Life and Teachings, as our Guide), the Philippine Embassy in Bangkok commemorated the 128th anniversary of the martyrdom of Dr. Jose P. Rizal at the Embassy lobby.
The solemn event was led by Ms. Ma. Charmaine D. Guevara, Chargés d'Affaires, and attended by Embassy personnel, representatives from attached agencies, and members of the Filipino community in Thailand.
The program began with an introduction by Ms. Maria Alexandra G. Contreras, who warmly welcomed the attendees and underscored the significance of the day’s commemoration.
Mr. Martin Julius V. Perez delivered an evocative reading of Dr. Jose Rizal’s renowned poem, “Sa Kabataang Filipino.” This masterpiece, written in 1879, highlights Rizal’s vision for the youth as the hope of the nation, urging them to cultivate their intellect and creativity for the country’s progress. The poignant reading served as a powerful reminder of Rizal’s enduring message to the new generation of Filipinos.
A video presentation about Rizal, provided by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP), further enriched the program by showcasing the hero’s life, works, and legacy. The presentation emphasized the relevance of Rizal’s ideals in guiding Filipinos towards a brighter future.
The commemoration concluded with a wreath-laying ceremony led by CDA Guevara, Atty. Romulo R. Ubay Jr., and Ms. Caesaira Daiz Morante, a Filipino teacher based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The act symbolized a collective expression of gratitude and respect for the sacrifices of the nation’s foremost hero.
To extend the tribute to Dr. Rizal throughout the day, NHCP’s educational videos were continuously played at the public area of consular section, allowing clients to learn more about Rizal’s life
