The City Government of Caloocan, through the Cultural Affairs and Tourism Office (CATO), held an Art Workshop for children ages seven to twelve years old which included basic training in dance and art photography.
A total of 54 participants attended the photography workshop on Tuesday, August 22 at the People’s Park, while the three-day dance workshop at the Bulwagang Katipunan had 64 attendees from August 23 to 25.
City Mayor Dale Gonzalo “Along” Malapitan thanked the CATO, the trainers, and the participants for a successful event. He likewise showed appreciation towards the goal of the workshop which is to create new skills for the participants to develop their creativity and confidence.
“Layon ng Art Workshop natin ngayong 2023 na linangin ang mga talento ng mga Batang Kankaloo, lalo na sa pagsasayaw at sa pagkuha ng mga larawan, upang mas palakasin kanilang pagiging malikhain at mapataas ang kumpiyansa sa kanilang sarili,” Mayor Along said.
“Maraming salamat CATO sa pag-oorganisa ng makabuluhan at masayang aktibidad na tulad nito, gayundin sa lahat ng mga dumalo at sa mga propesyunal na nagbahagi ng kanilang kaalaman at galing sa mga nasabing larangan,” he added.
The City Mayor affirmed the city government’s commitment to protect the interests of the youth which is focused on providing a holistic approach to programs that tackle their well-being.
“Ang mga ito ay isa sa ating paraan upang mas mahubog at mapaunlad pa ang mga talento at kakayahan ng kabataan dahil naniniwala po tayo na ito’y mahalaga at kapaki-pakinabang. Asahan niyo po na nakatutok ang aking administrasyon sa pangangalaga sa kapakanan ng mga kabataan sa lahat ng larangang maaaring makatulong sa kanila,” Mayor Along stated.
