Calaca Day Care workers once again
bagged awards in the recently concluded provincial search for “Batang may K”
which was held at the Batangas Provincial auditorium on March 1, 2010. Munting
Puso Day Care Center of Lumbang na Bata headed by Mrs. Rosita M. Valencia got
the 1st place. Meanwhile, Little Angels II of Lumbang na Matanda headed by
Marybel P. Enriquez got the 2nd place. Home Sweet Home Day Care Center of
Puting Bato East headed by Mrs. Mercelina T. Marasigan landed on the 3rd place followed
by Batang Calaca Day Care Center of Poblacion 3 headed by Melba Garcia and
Michelle De Joya and Bulilit Day Care Center of Puting Kahoy headed by Veronica
Manalo for the 4th and 5th place. Calaca topped other municipalities in the Province of Batangas including Padre Garcia, Malvar
and San Pascual. Each municipality has four awardees. Luckily, Day Care
Workers’ unique way of constructing spit trays on their Day Care centers gave
them the edge to be declared winners of the search.
“Batang may K”, an oral and health
program that started on 2008 was a sustainable program of the FDI World Dental
Association, The Philippine Pediatric Dental Association and the Live, Laugh
and Learn Foundation. This program became a reality through the untiring effort
of the project director, Dr. Manuel V. Ballesteros, DMD with the support of
Uniliver Philippines
and the Batangas Provincial Government through the Provincial Social Welfare
and Development Office down to the municipality.
