Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte’s message to Lingap Pangkabataan, Incorporated on our 40th founding anniversary.
I would like to extend my congratulations on the 40th Anniversary of Lingap Pangkabataan, Incorporated. Thank you for your continuous mission of helping our underprivileged children have hope for a better future. Your membership in the Quezon City Council for the Protection of Children have far-reaching effects not only in the families of our beneficiaries but also in building more progressive communities.
I believe that true progress can be achieved only when it is able to be passed down to the next generation. In communities with at-risk children, your work has borne fruit with projects that not only protect, but also empower our youth to become productive members of society despite the challenges in their environment. In 40 years, you have been able to change lives and effect lasting change in the communities that you serve.
Addressing the issues that concern these children and their families, through programs that have a sustainable impact is something that Lingap Pangkabataan and the Quezon City Government share as a common goal. We are privileged that your organization is part of the crafting of the updated Quezon City Development Plan and Investment Plan for Children 2021-2025 to ensure that our dream for our city’s children is anchored on improved child-friendly policies and programs.
We are grateful for your contributions in community building, and will continue to support your efforts and endeavors to protect our children and uplift lives not only of families, but also of our communities. We pray that Lingap Pangkabataan will continue with this zeal for spreading hope among our youth, and empowering them as agents of change towards community transformation that will benefit our country in the years to come.
Mabuhay po kayo!
