Fe Chona Bahin, Officer-in-Charge of the CSWDO, said that they have prioritized activities that involved the participation of both parents and children to strengthen the family bond.

“Importante talaga iton na it usa nga pamilya ma spare hin time nga magkaka-bonding hira ngan magkakaurusa hira,” said Bahin.

“We always adhere for family solidarity. Gusto namon ito nga nagkakaurusa it pamilya, kay kun nagbuburublag na ngani it mag-aragsawa, it’s the children that suffer,” she added.

She encouraged the parents to find time for their children and never give up to any circumstances that life has to offer.
