Atty. Betty Medialdea and Mrs. Cynthia Dominguez said enabling women to work even as they take care of their family is a core advocacy of the Du30 Cabinet Spouses Association (Du30CSA).
Ms Grace Frias, city youth devt officer, says the center does not just give substitute parental care but also provide age-appropriate developmental activities. “Facilities like this also address the problem of absenteeism and tardiness prevalent among working mothers.”
