CITY OF MALOLOS– For being champion of Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD), the Provincial Government of Bulacan through the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office (PSWDO) received the Gawad Edukampyon for Local Governance award for Province Category for the second time around during the awarding ceremony held at Novotel Manila Araneta City Hotel in Cubao, Quezon City last Saturday.
Governor Daniel R. Fernando believes that the success of the objective to promote the survival, development, protection, and participation rights of the children depends on the careful planning and effective implementation of the programs for them.
“Bilang lingkod bayan, mahalaga po ang tungkulin natin sa paghubog ng kamalayan at kakayahan ng mga bata upang lumaki silang mabuti, maaasahan at mapagkalingang miyembro ng lipunan. Sa ating pagkakaisa at pagtutulungan ay mapapanatili nating kampyon ang ating lalawigan sa larangan ng edukasyon at serbisyo-publiko. Dahil dito sa Bulacan, ang batang Bulakenyo, batang may bukas,” Fernando said.
Meanwhile, Rex Education CEO Don Timothy I. Buhain said that the initiative celebrates not only ideals, but recognizes actual results, and that the education champions’ passion and hardwork have not gone unnoticed.
“Your efforts and projects that bore fruits resulting to improved learning, better services, and hopefully, better quality of life, realized outcomes and experience that at the end of the day will advance people’s causes,” Buhain said.
