Davao City, July 5, 2023 – The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office XI Home for the Girls and Women (HGW) conducted a recognition ceremony for the graduates and achievers of the Class of 2023 on June 23, 2023, in partnership with the EMAR Human and Environmental College, Inc. as the partner institution who provides multi-graded formal education to the residents of the HGW.

A total of 39 young learners were recognized for their hard work and dedication to finish their grade levels this year. 

There were 13 learners from the elementary level, 23 from the junior high school, and 3 from the senior high school. 

DSWD FO XI Regional Director Atty. Vanessa B. Goc-ong graced the event and expressed her gratitude to all the people behind the success of the recognition ceremony and to the young learners. 

“Congratulations as well to the teachers, staff, and parents. Alam natin kung ano’ng saya ng mga mag-aaral sa kanilang tagumpay na kanilang nakamtan, doble pa roon ang kasiyahan ng ating mga magulang (We all know that the parents are twice as happy as the students for their success),” Director Goc-ong said. 

Not only does the HGW provides shelter and provisions to its residents, but its approach to the development of girls and women is also holistic. 

Maagap at Mapakalingang Serbisyo!
