The National Validators for the 2026 Presidential Award for Child-Friendly Municipalities and Cities (PACFMC) arrived in Jamindan for the conduct of the national validation.
Upon their arrival at the Municipal Government Hall, the validators were welcomed by the concerned municipal officials and representatives, where an initial orientation was conducted to discuss the validation process, requirements, and other matters concerning the assessment.
Following the municipal orientation, the selection of barangays to be visited and assessed was conducted. Barangay Esperanza, being the municipalityโs Model Barangay, was included, while three (3) barangays were selected through a draw lots from the municipalityโs 30 barangaysโBarangay Jagyanaya, Barangay Lucero, and Barangay Jaena Norte.
The National Validators then proceeded to the selected barangays to conduct the respective barangay-level validation and assessment.
In Barangay Jaena Norte, the validation was spearheaded by the Barangay Captain and the BCPC Focal Person, together with the Barangay Council for the Protection of Children (BCPC), Barangay Tanods, Barangay Health Workers (BHWs), Lupong Tagapamayapa, and other barangay stakeholders.
As part of the barangay validation, the Sangguniang Kabataan of Jaena Norte, led by Hon. Rica Mae L. Lusanta, participated as the youth sector representative, presenting and supporting relevant youth- and child-related programs, projects, activities, documentation, and initiatives implemented in the community.
The activity highlighted the importance of inter-sectoral collaboration in promoting the welfare, protection, participation, and development of children and youth. The collective presence of the different barangay sectors demonstrates Jaena Norteโs continuing commitment to building a safe, inclusive, and child-friendly community.
