In his message, Executive Assistant II Regino Morpus, who was the representative of Mayor Emerson Luego of Mabini, encouraged the CDWs to always reflect their roles as teachers since "kamo ang dakong role sa paglift-up sa mga bata, kung taas ang morale nato sa pagtudlo nga nindot nga example sa mga bata, then dira ta maka ingon nga fulfill ta sa atong pagka teachers."
Moreover, CDW Helen P. Bontrostro of Tagugpo Daycare Center in Pantukan was named Most Outstanding CDWs 2023, while five other CDWs from Montevista, Compostela, Maco, Maragusan, and Laak were named Best CDWs 2023 during the Search for Outstanding CDWs 2023.
In addition, 65 CDWs received Service Loyalty Awards for lengths of service ranging from 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years.
Further, the CDWs also engaged in various activities such as summer fun games, cheers and yells competitions during the one-day event. This also serves as an opportunity for capacity-building as they learn from one another and became strong partners in the sector of child development.
The Provincial Federation of Day Care Workers of the Phil., Inc. - Davao de Oro Chapter, in partnership with the Provincial Social Welfare and Development Office, hosted the event which is part of the annual celebration of National Child Development Worker's Week in the country.
