Pagpupugay sa mga Mangagawang Panlipunan
Isang propesyon na pinanday ng malasakit, hinubog ng dedikasyon, at pinatatag ng pagmamahal sa kapwa.

Sa bawat serbisyong ibinibigay, buhay ang nababago, pag-asa ang naibabalik, at dignidad ang naitataguyod.

Saludo kami sa lahat ng Social Workers na patuloy na nagsisilbing sandigan ng lipunan.

This morning, our trainees and staff actively participated in a Zumba session facilitated by the Medical Unit together with the interns.

It was a simple yet fun way to promote health, and wellness in our center. Thank you to everyone who joined and made the activity lively and enjoyable!💃🕺
