Southern Luzon State University (SLSU) and Barangay Mabato successfully conducted a parent-child encounter seminar for selected community members on June 2.
The event began with opening remarks from Hon. Guillermo Ronello M. Rivera, Punong Barangay of Brgy. Mabato, stating the importance of this event for their community. “Kaya natin isinasagawa ang programang ito ay para sa kapakanan at ikabubuti ng mga bata sa ating barangay,” he said.
The seminar was led by Assoc. Prof. Fides Joyce O. Llegado, faculty of the Psychology Department of the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS). She discussed the importance of a positive relationship between parents and children and promoted the concept of a “safe space” within the family. Both parents and children actively engaged in discussions and activities where they shared experiences, exchanged stories, and expressed their thoughts and messages to each other. Assoc. Prof. Llegado finished her presentation with a passage saying, “Hindi natin mababago ang salitang narinig natin no’ng bata. Pero pwede natin baguhin ang salitang sasabihin natin sa anak natin bukas.”
The closing remarks were delivered by Ms. Emelita Dela Cruz, Social Welfare Officer III of LGU Mauban, who expressed the LGU’s support for this initiative. “Ang atin pong layunin ay protektahan ang mga bata at mabigyan ng kamalayan ang mga magulang sa maayos na pagpapalaki ng anak,” she said.
This initiative underscores the partnership between SLSU and local barangays in promoting the welfare of children and family.
