With the theme “Pagbabago sa Kanlungan ng Piitan ay Tunay na Makakamtan sa Makabagong Pamamaraan” activities included provision of health and social services, Parole and Probation Information Drive, Spiritual and Legal Counselling, Dance For a Cause, and Exhibit of PDL Livelihood Products.
“One of the highlights of this celebration was the children’s party and gift-giving wherein children of some PDL were invited because we would like to show them and to let them feel that there are people who love them through their children,” Tarlac City Jail Female Dormitory Officer-in-Charge Cecilia Tamayo shared.
