💕Believing in the principle: “HOME is the first classroom where love, values, and respect are taught".....
MJMDH – Adolescent Health Development Program, in collaboration with the Sipalay Component City Police Station, conducted a symposium entitled: "Kalinga at Karapatan para sa Kabataan" to DepEd Cambogui-ot National High School,Brgy. Camindangan,Sipalay on September 09, 2026 for parents of adolescents during their PTA DAY focusing on the rights of every Filipino child and the various laws that protect and uphold these rights.
The activity provided parents with meaningful information on their important role in protecting children from abuse, violence, discrimination, exploitation, and other forms of harm. An open forum was also conducted, giving parents the opportunity to raise questions, share concerns, and deepen their understanding of child protection.
A meaningful part of the activity was the “Thumbmark of Unity”, where parents, teachers, police enforcers, and health workers affixed their thumbmarks as a symbol of their shared commitment to protect and uphold the rights of every adolescent.
💙 Special thanks to Cambogui-ot National High School faculty & staff headed by Mr. Jolieto Caparida, for the warm welcome and support extended for this activity.
💙Our heartfelt appreciation also goes to the Sipalay Component City Police Station, headed by PLTCOL CHRISTOPHER V. MUEGO, for providing our resource speakers: PLT Justin Abawan, PSMS Fatima Lumie Montes, and PLT Dave Christian Chan, who shared their valuable knowledge and insights on child protection and the laws safeguarding the rights of children.
💙We also extend our sincere gratitude to City Councilor Hon. James Anthony Garucho for his continued support to this meaningful advocacy for the welfare and protection of adolescents.
Together, let us continue to build a community where every child is respected, protected, heard, and empowered. 💙
