"Despite the power interruption, the training continued—because when parents are eager to learn, no challenge can stop the pursuit of knowledge. Their commitment to becoming better guides for their children shone brighter than any light that went out that day.”
The unwavering dedication of parents and guardians was truly evident during the successful conduct of the Parenting Seminar entitled “Gabay ng Magulang, Tagumpay ng Mag-aaral: Magkaagapay sa Kinabukasan” held on June 11, 2026, at the MES Covered Court. Despite an unexpected power interruption, the seminar continued seamlessly, with more than 350 parents and legal guardians remaining engaged and eager to learn, demonstrating their deep commitment to their children's education and future.
This meaningful initiative was made possible through the strong partnership among Mabayuan Elementary School, Hon. Neita “Sarah” Jao, Kagawad in Charge of Women and Family, CBCP, and VAWC. Their shared vision of strengthening families and empowering parents created a valuable platform for learning, reflection, and collaboration.
The participants were inspired by the insightful and engaging discussion of Ms. Dolores “Dolly” Yanan, Admin Aide IV and Training Officer from the Olongapo City Hall Office, whose expertise and passion resonated with the audience. Her message emphasized the vital role of parents as the first teachers, role models, and lifelong partners in the success of every child.
The event was further honored by the presence of Barangay Captain Hon. Edwin Manio Esposo, whose continued support for educational and family-centered programs reflects the barangay's commitment to nurturing a community where children can thrive and succeed.
The success of this seminar serves as a powerful reminder that when schools, families, and community leaders work hand in hand, barriers become opportunities and challenges become stepping stones. Indeed, guided parents create empowered learners, and together, they build a brighter future for all.
