ROXAS CITY, Capiz, Nov. 29 (PIA6) -- A national award for Best Practice in Adolescent Health and Youth Development (AHYD) implementation in Capiz was recently received by Provincial Population Office (PPO) in Cagayan De Oro City.
The best practice award, given by the Commission on Population (PopCom) Central Office in time with the Population and Development Week celebration, was received by PopCom – 6 director Vicente Molejona and PPO – Capiz head Yolanda Francisco.
“Our establishment and sustained support to 52 school-based teen centers in the province made us into the award,” Francisco noted.
She added that a documentary on the impact of the adolescent-friendly initiative conducted by a PopCom team in 2011 was presented during the national congress held at the country’s southern city.
The same award was also received by PPO-Capiz from PopCom – 6 last year.
Francisco added that the newest achievement of PPO was presented to Capiz Gov. Victor A. Tanco, Sr. who graced the 21st Barangay Service Point Officers (BSPO) Congress last Nov. 27 at the Capiz Gym here.
For his part, Tanco conveyed his appreciation of the award even as he challenged the BSPOs to also aspire for the award by giving stronger commitment to their duties and obligations to serve their co-constituents.
The chief provincial executive also took time to watch the estimated 20-minute documentary which was shown during the BSPO assembly. (JSC/Alex A. Lumaque-PIA6 Capiz)
