Today we are celebrating the first #InternationalDayofPlay. And what better way to celebrate this than to explore what play is to a child, from their perspective.
Have you ever thought about what's going on inside a child's mind while they play?
We celebrate today, June 11, as the first UN-declared International Day of Play. It's a reminder to us all about the power of play for a child so they can prepare for any challenge and imagine a better world.
Do you remember your favourite childhood game? What did you play?

Children are our role models. For them, anything is possible, and their approach to life is inspiring in so many ways.
In our busy lives, we tend to forget that we can learn just as much from them as they can from us.
What have you learned from a child?

VP Sara Duterte's unprecedented budget of P2.38 billion might be the highest OVP budget ever if passed into law. For context, it was only in 2016 that the OVP under Jejomar Binay hit P500M mark. By design, the OVP is a small office with very few mandates.
