THE City Social Services and Development Office is now eyeing to expand the BahayPag-asa on 2016 after the shelter has been congested with Children in Conflict with Law housed at the center.

“Gina-hope nato ang possible extension of one building for the CICL kay congested nasila. Sixty-five na ang naa didto karon. Ang building supposed to be maka-accommodate lang og 30 sa activity area maghuot na so dapat naay isa ka activity area (We are hoping for the possible extension of one building for the CICL because they are already congested in the area. The building supposed to be can accommodate only 30 that is why in the activity area do really get congested, that is why another activity area should be built),” Assistant CSSDO Head Liwayway Caligdong said.

She added that they are also hopeful that this year 2016 they can build home for the special children.

“Hopefully among gina-aim kay kadtong home sa atong special children, na unta separate per category kay old building lang man gud ang atong ginagamit karon na gimana namo sa Department of Social Welfare and Development Program (DSWD) (We hopefully aim that we can build home for the special children and that there will be separated per category because the old building we use as of the moment is one we inherited from DSWD),” Caligdong said.

She said that they are currently searching where they can get funds for the project.

For the year 2015, Caligdong said that they are happy that they were able to finish the 10 million worth of Balay Dangupan Building which is a home for the physically and sexually abused women.
