In line with the celebration of Children’s Month this year, the provincial government of ComVal through Provincial Social Welfare & Development Office (PSWDO) escorts the Day Care children for a ‘Provincial Bulilit Festival.’
Wearing their fantastic costumes, the kids together with their guardians, went to ‘fantasyland.’ Held in Arriesgado Gym, Tagum City last November 29, 2016, the event bears the theme: “Comval Bulilit goes to Fantasyland” and gathers more than 500 participants coming from 11 municipalities of the province.
Board Member Vivencia Secuya, as the keynote speaker emphasizes the importance of education to attain success of the children in the future, saying “Tinuod gayud nga ang edukasyon lamang ang katigayunan nga di maprenda og di makawat. Maong dapat kini i-treasure alang sa kaayuhan sa atong gagmayng kabataan.”
Also expressing her support, PSWDO-Department Head – Josephine M. Frasco said “Naga-level up na gyud ang atong mga programs for the children. In fact by next year, we’ll have a necessity for schools and trainings in all the municipalities, for the Child Development Workers and for us to step up as a whole.”
Meanwhile, recognition for Service Awardees & Commendation of Level 3 Accreditation was also conducted which later on gave appraisal to few parents and teachers.
Highlighting the event, is the Search for ComVal Bulilit 2016 with entry no. 6 of Nabunturan Day Care Center hailed as the champion.
Aside from the ‘bulilit pageant,’ various contests were also enjoyed by the children such as a “Draw & Tell a Story,” song solo, folk Dance, Zumbata, fun games, among others. (wina gonzales/IDS comval)
