“Protektahan ang Kamusmusan” is an innovative educational initiative developed by Ms. Chary Mercado and hosted at St. Michael’s College of Laguna in Biñan City. This project uses a comic series to address the critical issue of protecting children from sexual predators, making essential lessons on personal safety more engaging and accessible.

The comic series serves as an age-appropriate tool for educating children, parents and educators about child protection. Through carefully crafted narratives and illustrations, it presents sensitive topics in a way that children can understand and relate to while offering practical safety strategies and prevention measures. It delivers educational content through visual storytelling, providing resource materials for parents and educators, and offering interactive discussion guides to facilitate conversations about personal safety. The series also includes practical safety tips and prevention strategies, ensuring that both children and adults are equipped with the knowledge needed to recognize and prevent potential dangers.

This initiative reflects St. Michael’s College of Laguna’s commitment to child protection and safety education. Using creative and engaging methods, it empowers children with awareness while giving parents and educators effective tools to discuss and address these critical safety concerns.
