DSWD Secretary Corazon Juliano-Soliman gave tribute this morning (October 25) to exemplary children of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program at Sequoia Hotel, Quezon City who participated in the National Children’s Congress (NCC).
Addressing her statement to the media and other guests, she pointed to the kids and said, “Sila po ay bahagi lamang ng nagbebenipisyo at resulta ng puhunan sa kanilang mga kabataan. Sila ay bahagi ng resulta ng pagtutulungan ng mga ahensya ng pamahalaan.”
Three of the children who participated in this year’s congress came from Region VI namely Mark Lovel Bedona of Bugasong, Antique; G. Bhe Lasala of Roxas City, Capiz; and Shane Padonio of Victorias City, Negros Occidental.
Soliman presented the kids to them to emphasize that the government has never been wrong in investing for the children’s future by ensuring that they are sent to school and are healthy through the Pantawid Pamilya, Philippine’s version of Conditional Cash Transfer.
