Bulacan holds Children's Congress

'AS an advocate for the youth and the father of this province, I feel this sense of duty to invest in the bright future of Bulacan by ensuring the protection, care, development and freedom of our children. And as we celebrate this meaningful month for our beloved youth, I am reminded of what former President Barack Obama once said: The future belongs to young people with an education and the imagination to create.'

This was the message of Bulacan Gov. Daniel Fernando before 350 daycare children and parents, child development workers, the Local Council for the Protection of Children (LCPC), and child representatives during the Provincial Children's Congress 2022 held at the Bulacan Capitol Gymnasium on Wednesday, November 16.
