TABUK CITY, Kalinga – City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO) celebrated Children’s Month with the different child development centers (CDC) in Tabuk at the Senior Citizen’s Hall on December 20, 2021
The program’s theme, “New normal na walang iwanan: karapatan ng bawat bata ating tutukan,” became the inspiration and reference for the following contested events: Solo, Draw and Tell, and Jingle Contest.
The CSWDO believes that the celebration would provide a welcoming outlet for the children to demonstrate their talents and skills, as the new normal has left them without a stage on which to act and play.
The event was participated by various CDCs which won during the District Celebration held in November.
Sumadel, Ipil CDC took first place in the Draw and Tell category, followed by Catao CDC, Capitol CDC, and Cabaruan CDC; Turod Bulo CDC took first place in the Jingle category, followed by Nambaran, Cabaruan, and Kiddie CDC; and Casigayan CDC took first place in the Solo Category, followed by Dilag, Purok 1, Bulanao, and Cabaruan CDC.
CSWDO personnel praised the winners and advised parents to celebrate their children regardless of their accomplishments because it is their month, and even if it isn’t, children need to be loved, enthused, and cared for. She also said, “uray pandemic ket masapul kuma nga iti parents ket adda latta nga mangtututok iti rights ti annak da aglalo iti education tapnu kasta ket saan nga masayang iti tawen da ta uray kastuy nga pandemic ket adda latta iti it-ited iti CSWDO nga programs nga mangsupusop iti awanan da iti uneg ti pagadalan, kasla dagiti modules ken supplemental feeding nga ipapaay tayo iti tulong ti CLGU.” By Rio Bassong
