“Amahang responsable, pamilyang malig-on.” 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💙

This activity was proudly facilitated by the MSWDO Aloran interns as part of their FLD 3.

With great enthusiasm and collaboration, the ERPAT Seminar on Responsible Fatherhood and Gender Sensitivity was successfully conducted, bringing together fathers and community members in a shared commitment to building stronger, more nurturing families. It served as a meaningful space to reflect on the vital role of fathers, not only as providers, but also as active caregivers, role models, and partners in promoting respect, equality, and positive family relationships.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Ma’am Winnie Bhagwani for her presence, guidance, and unwavering support throughout this activity. Our sincere thanks also go to Sir Jenuine Centino for serving as our inspiring resource speaker and for sharing valuable insights that truly resonated with the participants.

We are equally grateful to the Barangay Officials of Culpan for allowing and warmly welcoming us into the community, making this initiative possible. To all ERPAT members of Barangay Culpan, thank you for your active participation, openness, and willingness to learn. Your engagement made the seminar even more impactful and meaningful.

Together, let us continue to uplift and empower fathers, because strong fathers build strong families, and strong families build strong communities! 💙👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✨

‎From September to October 2025, we, the CSWD Tangub City Social Work Interns of Misamis University, successfully conducted 10 meaningful group work sessions and a culmination activity each one filled with learning, growth, and shared humanity.

‎We extend our deepest gratitude to BJMP Tangub City Jail, formerly headed by JSINSP Shiela Conol, for warmly welcoming us and granting us the opportunity to carry out our sessions. Your trust and openness created a safe and supportive space where genuine transformation could begin.

‎To our dear Persons Deprived of Liberty (PDLs) Team Handsome Boys, thank you for your active participation, cooperation, and willingness to open your hearts to us. Your courage in sharing your stories, your honesty in expressing emotions, and your commitment to personal growth inspired us beyond words. You reminded us that hope and dignity remain alive despite life’s challenges and that change is always possible.

‎To our school field supervisor, Ma’am Kasey Jane Banci-Buac, RSW, MSSW, thank you for your unwavering support, guidance, and encouragement throughout our journey. Your insights helped shape our confidence and competence in facilitating each session.

‎To our college dean, Dr. Haydee D. Villanueva, and our program head, Ma’am Winnie A. Bhagwani, RSW, MSSW, we are deeply grateful for your approval, trust, and support in allowing us to implement this intervention. Your belief in our capabilities empowered us to put theory into practice and serve with purpose.

‎Most especially, to our beloved agency field supervisor, Ma’am Rosalie A. Conol, RSW, MSSW thank you for being the foundation of our learning. From conducting workshops that equipped us with essential skills and techniques in group work to patiently guiding us through every challenge, you have shaped us into more capable and compassionate future social workers. Your lessons, mentorship, and constant support will always stay with us as we continue this journey.

‎To my Co-Tangub Interns despite all the hardships, stress, and differences we encountered, we stood strong and chose to remain united. As Ma’am Gang said, "Diri manggawas inyohang mga batasan,” and indeed, we saw each other’s strengths and flaws but more importantly, we chose understanding, acceptance, and love. Through everything, we became not just a team but a family.

‎Here’s to us, girls congratulations for your resilience, dedication, and heart. We made it through every challenge, and we grew stronger together. This journey may not have been easy, but it was all worth it. 💪🤍

Today, we proudly opened Social Work Month under the powerful theme: Uplift. Defend. Transform. This celebration was not just an event—it was a living testament to the strength, compassion, and resilience of social workers everywhere.

The success of this opening reflects the collective spirit of a profession rooted in justice and humanity. Together, we uplift communities with hope, defend the dignity and rights of every individual, and transform lives through service, advocacy, and unwavering dedication.

This day reminds us that social work is more than a career—it is a calling. It is about standing firm in the face of challenges, amplifying the voices of the marginalized, and creating pathways for meaningful change. The unity and energy we witnessed today are proof that when we come together, transformation is possible.

We also warmly welcome and celebrate with us our beloved alumni, whose presence today reminds us of the enduring legacy of social work and the powerful impact of those who have gone before us. Their stories, wisdom, and continued commitment inspire us to carry forward the mission with pride and passion.

Congratulations to everyone who made this day a resounding success. May the inspiration of this opening carry us forward throughout the month with purpose and unity. Together, we uplift. Together, we defend. Together, we transform. 💜✨
