This September 21 to 27, 2009, the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD-7) spearheads the celebration of the National Family Week.
With the theme, “Si Nanay, Matatag sa Lahat ng Bagay”, the celebration highlights the important role that mothers play in strengthening family unity and solidarity.
In Central Visayas, the Regional Inter-Agency Committee for the Filipino Family (RIACFF) has lined up several activities to celebrate the family week. Several non-government organizations such as Lihok Filipina, Share-A-Child Movement and Panaghi-usa will schedule seminars and training on family solidarity.
The RIACFF will also promote the celebration through radio and TV guestings, forums, and school-based symposia that will be initiated by the DepEd-7. (PIA)
