The Regional Rehabilitation Center for Youth (RRCY) of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) Field Office XI held its 45th Anniversary Celebration on December 1, 2023 at the RRCY Gymnasium, Bago Oshiro, Davao City. With the theme: “Apatnapu’t limang taon ng sentro ang kahusayan: Muling pagbuo ng pag-asa at pagpapabuti ng buhay,” the celebration underscored the RRCY’s unwavering commitment to delivering comprehensive care and rehabilitation for Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL).

The event not only featured captivating song and dance performances by the residents, it also honored the steadfast support of the RRCY’s partners and recognized the exceptional dedication of its staff, culminating in awards for outstanding contributions and service.

“Dili gyud kaya ni DSWD nga mag-inusara sa paghanyag sa atong mga residente sa sakto nga mga interbensyon, maong dako atong pasalamat sa mga partners sa ilang way puas nga suporta sa RRCY (DSWD alone cannot provide the proper interventions to our residents, hence, our heartfelt appreciation to our partners for their unwavering support to RRCY),” DSWD XI Assistant Regional Director for Operations Dahlia S. Padillo said in her message.

As the RRCY marks nearly five decades of service, it reaffirms its dedication to empowering and shaping the lives of CICLs, instilling in them values of accountability, and hope for a brighter future ahead. ###
