With the assistance of the Taguig City Government and the City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO), the Taguig Lingap Center has been providing temporary shelter for children at risk, in need of special protection, and victims of violence since 2016.
During the anniversary celebration, Taguig City Mayor Lani Cayetano expressed her gratitude to the house parents and staff of the Taguig Lingap Center, and she also shared her plans for the center.
"I am grateful to everyone who takes care of our center. We are celebrating our eighth anniversary, and I am excited for the coming years where we will have more programs, move to better facilities, and most importantly, help our residents on their path to recovery and reintegrate others back into our community. The City of Taguig could not operate these centers without the hearts and care of our workers," said Cayetano.
The head of the City Social Welfare Development Office, Nikki Rose Operario, stated that children at the center also get to study, and in fact, some of them have received honors at school.
Operario thanked Cayetano for her continuous support to the center.
Several children at the center have graduated from Junior and Senior High School with academic distinction and special awards.
One of the residents also graduated high school with high honors and is ready to attend college.
