AKO, kasama ng Siyudad San Fernando, ay naniniwala na ang ating kabataan ay may malaking papel na ginagampanan sa ating lipunan.
Katulad ng sinabi ng ating pambansang bayani na si Dr. Jose Rizal, palagi nating ipinapaalala sa ating mga kabataan na kayo ang natatanging pag-asa ng ating bayan.
Kaya nangunguna sa mga prayoridad ng aking administrasyon ang pagbibigay halaga sa edukasyon at kalusugan ng mga kabataan…
Kung kaya malaking bahagdan ng ating budget ang nakalaan para sa total wellbeing ng mga kabataan, mula sa sinapupunan hanggang sa kanilang paglaki, kaagapay ninyo kami sa pag-aaruga sa inyong mga anak…
To our Local Council for the Protection of Children and barangay officials who also have answered to the call of creating their own Barangay Council for the Protection of Children, I am proud of you.
We are all aware of your huge roles in safeguarding our children. These councils are where programs and projects for children are made in order to ensure their total well-being and development, which also include their safety from all forms of danger and abuse.
Let us remember that being the first line of defense, we have the authority to stop unchild-friendly (sic) practices within our areas, and make sure the children’s safety is not compromised. Let us also make sure that their rights are taken into consideration every time we plan for improvements down to our barangay.
