Ever since October 24, 1948, the celebration of the United Nations already took place. It was suggested by the General Assembly to be recognized as a public holiday to its member states. Being one of the United Nations, Philippines see to it that even schools take part in the said celebration.
United Nations is an organization which contributes to achieve a better world by promoting human rights, social progress and world peace. It seeks to improve maternal health, to combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases, to ensure environmental sustainability, and to develop a global partnership for development.
This year was declared as the International Year of Indigenous Languages. In Ilocos Sur National High School, the Social Studies Club lead the commemoration by conducting activities such as quiz bees, and one of the most awaited, the highlight of the celebration, the Search for Mr. and Ms. UN 2019. Participants represented different countries which are members of the United Nations. They wore traditional costumes from various places to show the culture of the country they represented. The event was indeed a good show both for teachers and students.
It is important for everyone to know and value this kind of celebrations because it is to show our gratitude for the right leaders who really care about international issues and makes progress to have a better world for us and for the future generations.
