Per Hillary Clinton, media has a powerful influence on our lives, especially in the development of children. It can shape young people’s beliefs and aspirations, their sense of self and understanding of the world around them.[1] By giving the Filipino Children a seminar-workshop that promotes media and information literacy awareness, we can empower the children by teaching them the necessary skills to analyze, evaluate, and even produce new media products that will forward and/or call for their rights and welfare.
