The activity aimed to foster self-awareness, responsibility, personal growth, and positive transformation among the clients as they continue their journey toward rehabilitation, reintegration, and responsible citizenship.

The program began with the Opening Remarks delivered by Sr. PPO Robelle D. Cabrestante, followed by the Prayer and National Anthem, which were led by the clients. The participants also enjoyed an energizing Zumba session led by one of the clients, promoting camaraderie, active participation, and a positive atmosphere.

A meaningful Spiritual Message was shared by Ptr. Edwin Daganta, providing the clients with words of faith, hope, and encouragement as they continue their journey toward rehabilitation and responsible living.

As part of the TC session, CDA Ruie Angel B. Ordonio facilitated and discussed several important activities and assignments designed to strengthen the clients’ personal development. These included the BATH Plan and BATH Contract, the Flower Activity under the topic on “Self-Awareness,” the Realization Questions under “Responsibility and Conflict Resolution,” and the Ladder Activity Assignment under “Self-Reflection.” These activities encouraged the clients to examine themselves, recognize their responsibilities, address conflicts constructively, and identify the steps they need to take toward positive change.

Furthermore, Sr. PPO Robelle D. Cabrestante conducted a Pre-Livelihood Education and Access Program (LEAP) Orientation, providing the clients with valuable information and guidance on opportunities that may help them develop productive and sustainable means of livelihood. The orientation was followed by important reminders to reinforce their responsibilities and commitment to their rehabilitation programs.

The successful conduct of this activity reflects the continued commitment of the Puerto Princesa City Parole and Probation Office to support and guide parolees and probationers in their journey toward self-improvement, responsible citizenship, reintegration, and meaningful transformation.

Tampil, and Reinz Regan V. Ponce De Leon for their hard work, dedication, and valuable assistance in preparing the materials needed for the session.
