4Ps Municipal Operations Office of Madalag conducts Mother-Child GAD Training

MADALAG, Aklan — A total of 78 attendees, comprised of mothers and their children, gathered at Guadalupe Farm in Brgy. Balactasan on October 21, 2026, to participate in a Gender and Development (GAD) Training with the theme “Building Stronger Mother-Child Bonds.”

Spearheaded by the Municipal Operations Office of Madalag in strategic partnership with Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO) and LGU Madalag and the Technical Working Group of the Aklan Provincial Operations Office (POO), this significant event brought families together to champion family wellness and community empowerment.

The activity highlighted key sessions on children’s rights and protection, unlearning gender stereotypes, disaster preparedness, and nurturing love and open communication. It turned into a deeply emotional experience filled with tears and joy as mothers and children exchanged heartfelt promises and reaffirmed their commitments to one another.

GAD Focal Areane May Jasmin Victoriano expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to witness such a meaningful gathering. In her message, she emphasized as parents, providing for children’s daily needs is not the only thing that matters.

“Our time, listening ear, understanding, and love are equally vital. On the other hand, children also play an essential role in strengthening the family through respect, communication, and appreciation for their parents.” Victoriano said as she encouraged all participants to cherish the experience, highlighting that mutual understanding serves as the firmest foundation for every family./
