City Social Welfare and Development officer Tessie Buniel said the activity is spearheaded by the City Government of Tandag City thru the office of the City Social Welfare and Development (CSWD) Office on August 22 at the Season’s Park Apartelle.

The activity aims to strengthen the council as the new administration under city mayor Roxanne Pimentel has just assumed into office more than a month ago. The event also seeks to come-up a comprehensive plan for the protection of children in collaboration with the council members.

Roles and functions of the CCPC are also expected to be discussed by the speakers from the Department of Social Welfare and Development – Caraga Region and other protected laws for children by the Department of Justice.

In a related development, the construction of “Bahay Pag-asa”, a transition and rehabilitation home for disadvantage children in Tandag City is about to be completed, according to Buniel.(NGBT/PIA-Surigao del Sur)
