As part of the autonomous region’s 22nd Foundation Anniversary rites | |||
COTABATO CITY, Philippines – Workers of the Department of Social Welfare and Development in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (DSWD-ARMM) provided supplemental feeding to 60 day-care children from the province of Maguindanao on Wednesday as their contribution to the current celebration of the weeklong 22nd ARMM foundation anniversary celebration. | |||
The children, aged three to five years old, came all the way from the Calsada Day-Care Center in Bulalo, Sultan Kudarat town to the Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Center inside the 22-hectare ARMM Compound here where DSWD social workers fed them individually with nutrient foods that their parents could not provide due to financial constraints. | |||
On their way back home, each of the 60 kids brought a cup of hot porridge and a party bag containing nutrient snacks and foods, social worker Umaya Salik said. | |||
The children were accompanied by their guardians in their travel back and forth for the festive supplemental feeding activity, Salik added. | |||
Wednesday’s event was the latest episode in the series of the DSWD-ARMM’s continuous supplemental feeding activities that have already served some 48,000 day-care children, according to ARMM Social Welfare acting Secretary Pombaen Karon-Kader. | |||
Meanwhile, performers from Sulu bagged the top prize of a cultural ensemble contest of the ongoing celebration of ARMM’s founding anniversary, replicating their dominance over four other cultural ensembles in previous competitions. | |||
The contest, dubbed “2011 Cultural Festival for Peace and Unity,” was held Wednesday night at the Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Center under the auspices of the autonomous government’s Bureau of Cultural Heritage (BCH). | |||
The Sulu ensemble won anew for its best rendition that aptly portrayed the diverse and vibrant culture of the ARMM populace, in a replication of its victory last year, said lawyer Ashrafia Aimee Biruar-Mitmug, BCH executive director. | |||
Biruar said this year’s competition received more plaudits for its meaningful emphasis on the campaign for peace and unity of the present administration of ARMM acing Governor Ansaruddin Alonto Adiong. | |||
The theme, she said, is also augurs the scope of the forthcoming celebration of the Mindanao Week of Peace this month. | |||
In the competition, the Sulu contingent was closely followed by Maguindanao that placed second, Tawi-Tawi at third, Lanao del Sur at fourth, and Basilan placing fifth. | |||
Biruar thanked the various ARMM line agencies for contributing to the success of the cultural festival. | |||
The ARMM’s line agencies were divided into five groups to assist their assigned teams among the five contesting ensembles, in what was described as a “simulated unity in diversity” for the weeklong celebration of the ARMM’s 22nd founding anniversary that started Monday and culminates this Saturday. | |||
