Valenzuela Mayor Weslie “Wes” Gatchalian delivered his first State of the Children Address during the city’s celebration of children’s month — the “Parada ng Pangarap” – at People’s Park Amphitheater, Valenzuela City on Saturday, Nov. 26.
“In Valenzuela City, we focus on the welfare of families. Inaalagaan natin ang bawat pamilyang Valenzuelano . We implement programs that foster the well-being of each and every member, most especially of the children,” said Gatchalian in his address.
“Ang lungsod po ay kasalukuyang may nine lying-in clinics na may sapat na kagamitan sa pagpapaanak at pinamamahalaan ng ating 73 equipped midwives .” “Food assistance marahil ang pinakamahal at pinakamagastos na health intervention pero dito sa Valenzuela , it is widely implemented because the supplementary feeding program was proven to be the most effective.”
Gatchalian thanked United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund for partnering with them in organizing the event for Valenzuela children.
