       DILG-3 Regional Director Florida M. Dijan graced the Gabi ng Parangal para sa “Mga Natatanging Amang Balangueño sa Bawat Barangay 2013” as Guest of Honor and Speaker on April 7, 2013 at Plaza Mayor De Balanga.  
    
   This initiative of Balanga City’s  Mayor Jose Enrique S. Garcia III aims to give recognition to 25 deserving fathers who demonstrate an outstanding commitment in raising their children and provide significant leadership and inspiration to other fathers.  

   In her message, RD Dijan congratulated the heads of the family who are indeed worthy of commendation for their determination and commitment in raising their families.  “Marami po ang mga tatay na halos gawing araw ang gabi para maipagkaloob sa kanilang pamilya ang isang magandang buhay”, she said.  

   She likewise extended her appreciation to the wives who serve as the wind beneath the wings of their husbands.  “ Pinararangalan po sa gabing ito ang mga ama.  Sa kanilang pong mga asawa, huwag po kayong mag-alala.  Kabahagi po kayo ng karangalang iyan.  Kayo po ang nagsilbing inspirasyon nila”, the RD stated.

   RD Dijan also summoned the children to express their love and gratitude to their parents.  “Hiling ko po sa mga anak na naririto, ipakita ninyo sa inyong mga ama na mahal ninyo sila.  Pag-uwi ninyo yakapin ninyo sila, gawaran ng halik at sabihin sa kanila kung gaano ninyo pinahahalagahan ang kanilang mga sakripisyo”, she further said.

   Director Dijan, moreover applauded the people behind the Parangal for coming up with such an inspiring event for all the people of Balanga City.
