 By Ma. Angeny Joy Villanueva

A total of 32 parents, whose children belong to the Special Program in Journalism, benefited from the Gabay Magulang: A Journalism Outreach Program in Journalism of CapSU Forum in cooperation with Feliciano Yusay Consing National High School held at President Roxas, Capiz, November 22.

The theme of the said activity was “Home School Learning, Parents Make it Happen” which intends to enhance parents’ awareness of the various programs in journalism and to encourage positive parenting practices that promote and support learning goals at home.

Prof. John Paul Araneta, CapSU Forum Adviser, said in a statement, that the activity is part of the CapSU Forum’s mission which is to deliver free basic services in promoting learning and civic engagement.

“Helping parents on their role as teachers in this time of pandemic makes them feel valued and guided.    Giving them assistance and orienting them of the important roles they play as parents of students who are enrolled in the Special  Program in Journalism will somehow enable them to be confident in the process of guiding and teaching their respective children. ”

On the other hand, Mrs. Ellen Aruba, 38, expressed her gratitude to all the prime movers and sponsors of the said event.

“Gapasalamat gid ako sa oportunidad nga ginhatag sa amon nga mga parents nga mangin part sang sini nga program. Madamo gid ako nahibaluan kag na-realize kon paano ko pa mas matutukan ang akon puya sa pag-eskwela kag matudluan sang maayo.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Grace de Ado, Head Teacher 1 of FYCNHS also expressed her thanks for the support given to the parents and the school.

“Ang Feliciano Yusay Consing National High School ay lubos na nagpapasalamat sa CAPSU lalo na sa pamunuan ng CapSU Forum sa pagpili sa amin bilang recepient ng kanilang outreach program. Isang malaking hakbang ito upang matulungan ang ating mga magulang sa paggabay ng kanilang mga anak sa kanilang pag-aaral lalo na sa panahon ng pandemya. Nakita ko sa mga mata ng ating mga participants ang ligayang hindi kailanman matutumbasan ng pera dahil sa pagkakataong ito nabigyan sila ng pagkakataong makibahagi sa ating gampanin bilang tagapaghatid ng karunungan sa kanilang mga anak.” ”

Each of the parents received school supplies, with free snacks and lunch.
