The celebration of National Family Week is pursuant to Presidential Proclamation No. 60 issued on September 18, 1992 which declared the last week of September as National Family Week to promote and strengthen the Filipino family.
This year’s Family Week celebration from September 20 – 26, has the worldwide theme “The Impact of Migration on Families Around the World” while the theme for observing this in the Philippines is “Pamilya ng Migranteng Pilipino, Patatagin at Paunlarin.”
In line with this mandate, the City Government held the employees’ Family Day on September 26, 2010 at the Mira Hills Fil-Spanish Friendship Park.
Mayor Eva said that the activity gives the employees the opportunity to bond with each other’s families through participation in the various parlor games conducted the whole day and eating together.
The Family Day started at 9 o’clock in the morning with a mass officiated by Rev. Fr. Roque Reyes followed by a short program.
