“𝙋𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙮𝙖 𝙈𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙜𝙖, 𝙎𝙤𝙡𝙤 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝘼𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙮𝙖𝙣 𝙠𝙖”

A Mental Health and Well-being Activity for Solo Parents was held on July 10, 2025 at Amulung Municipal Gymnasium. The event engaged a total of 190 solo parents from 47 barangays of the municipality. This program was initiated by Oasis Psychological Testing and Counseling Center headed by its agency head, Mrs. Perpetua I. Tobias, clinical psychologist, together with the psychology interns from Cagayan State University - Carig Campus and Isabela State University - Cabagan Campus

We are very grateful to the Local Chief Executive, Hon. Elpidio R. Rendon, as well as the MSWDO, Mrs. Myrna N. Matias for allowing the program to be conducted at their headquarters.

The outreach featured lectures on R.A. 8972 (Solo Parents Welfare Act of 2000) and R.A. 11861 (Expanded Solo Parents Welfare Act)—reminding participants that they are not just recipients of aid, but vital partners of the government. The discussion also included the Mental Health Law (R.A. 11036), which ensures that basic health services—including mental health and psychosocial support—are accessible even at the community and barangay levels, reaching vulnerable populations such as Solo Parents. These discussions emphasized the importance of emotional resilience in navigating the unique challenges of solo parenthood.

Ito ay isang munting paalala na ang mga Solo Parents ay hindi nakakalimutan, hindi nag iisa, at lalong hindi kulang. Kayo ay buo—buo ang pagmamahal, sakripisyo, at tapang na araw-araw niyong pinapakita.
