Children are being shaped into guardians of their own future as the Davao City Social Welfare Development Office (CSWDO) gathered more than a hundred young participants from three barangays for a capability-building program that empowers them to stand against abuse, resist harmful influences, and embrace responsible citizenship on May 26, 2026 at Barangay 76-A Bucana Gym.

A total of 113 children from Matina Pangi, Matina Crossing, and Barangay 76-A Bucana joined the session, covering topics such as the Anti-Mendicancy Law, Disaster Preparedness, Anti-Smoking and Liquor Ordinances.

Che Cejuela, Senior Social Worker of Barangay Bucana told the City Information Office that the topics were carefully chosen to strengthen their awareness of laws that safeguard their rights and protect them from abuse.

โ€œImportante gyud na makahibalo sila ani kay para dili sila musundog kung unsa tung mga dili maayong binuhatan. Maong sa bata pa sila, dapat kahibalo sila kung unsa tung mga bawal ug dili bawal (It is very important that they learn about these things so they will not imitate behaviors that are not good. That is why, even while they are still young, they should already know what is prohibited and what is allowed),โ€ she said.

The program, held quarterly, ensures that children under Child Needs Special Protection (CNSP) are equipped with knowledge of laws and policies designed to protect them from abuse and exploitation.

Cejuela further emphasized that the activity not only serves as a diversion from idle habits but, by being conducted quarterly, also ensures that children consistently recall the lessons and apply them in their daily lives.

โ€œKani nga mga activity para pod ni sa mga bata na dili sila makalimot, ma divert pod ang ilahang attention nga dili lang sige og cellphone, mag sige og laag, mag sige og latagaw (These activities are also meant for children so they will not forget the lessons, and at the same time, their attention is diverted from idle habits, instead of spending too much time on cellphones, roaming and wandering around),โ€ she added.
