The day brought meaningful encounters as delegates engaged with the community, experiencing the spirit of collaboration and service at 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝐓𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐜𝐨. 🤝✨

Special thanks to our partners — 𝐓𝐄𝐒𝐃𝐀, 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝐓𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐜𝐨, 𝐓𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐜𝐨 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝, 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐲 𝐓𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐜𝐨, and the 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 —for making this event a success. 💙

Originally, the closing ceremony was set at 𝐀𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐨 𝐝𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐨 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲, but due to the 𝟕.𝟔 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐤𝐞, the organizers made a prudent decision to hold the program at TESDA to ensure everyone’s safety. 🙏

We thank God for His protection — all delegates and participants were safe. Despite the unexpected turn of events, the day stood as a testament to 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐰𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞-𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠.🌿💫
