COTABATO CITY ---- As part of the commitment to defend
the children's right to proper care and nutrition and to protect them from
neglect, abuse, cruelty, exploitation, and other conditions detrimental to
development, the city government of Cotabato has prepared a budget for the Day Care
Services program, specifically in upgrading the allowances of its day care
workers.
During her recent
“State of the Children Report” held at the People’s Palace, Mayor Atty. Frances
Cynthia Guiani-Sayadi said that for the Day Care services program alone, the
city government has allocated an amount of P1.9 million.
“Aside from that,
we also allocated at least P1.7 million for the honoraria of our day care workers
from the 37 barangays,” said the mayor.
Mayor
Guiani-Sayadi has urged Sangguniang Panlungsod to fast track the increase of the
allowances of day care workers, hopefully by next year.
“To date, our day
care centers have a whooping 3,011 enrolees coming from the 37 barangays,” she
cited.
The lady mayor
also expressed gratitude to the day care workers for their undying
selflessness, sacrifices, and dedication in nurturing the children at their
very young age. (GILMHAR A. LAO –
