The NSDAPS Guidance and Counseling Center, in partnership with UGAT FOUNDATION INC., journeyed with our Junior High School (JHS) and Senior High School (SHS) Aranzan students with Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) parents last March 9 & 16, 2026.

Thank you to UGAT Foundation’s dedicated volunteers for helping our learners reconnect with the familial love they often set aside while navigating life away from their OFW parents. Through meaningful sessions, students found safe spaces to express their stories, emotions, and silent burdens.

Spearheaded by Guidance OIC, Ms. Kristine Charity Ismael with Guidance Advocates Ms. Tricia Anne Dequiña, Ms. Darla Zetina Liamzon, and Ms. Justine Villegas.
Together, NSDAPS Guidance & Counseling Center remains committed to supporting future programs that uplift the emotional well‑being of our Aranzans.
