LINGAYEN, Pangasinan -- Vice Governor Jose Ferdinand Calimlim vowed to lobby for an increase in the amelioration or cash incentive of day care workers to be sourced out from the trust fund of the Provincial Government.

"You are the ones who assist and guide our children to the right direction. In your best ways, you exert extra-efforts to do the best for the children," said Calimlim, noting the sacrifice and hard work of day care workers.

In support of the proposal, Board Member Amado I. Espino III said his father and namesake Governor Amado Espino Jr. has expressed support to give day care workers more incentives.

The present provincial administration has been supportive of thousands of day care workers in Pangasinan because, “we really appreciate the efforts and sacrifices you are doing in your respective barangays,” said Eapino, Liga ng mga Barangay provincial president.

The younger Espino thanked the day care workers for molding the minds of children in barangays whom he cited them as “future leaders of Pangasinan.”

Calimlim and Espino were among those who attended the 4th Day Care Provincial Convention, which started June 4. The convention was organized by the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office, in partnership with the Provincial Day Care Workers’ Federation of Pangasinan.
