Mme Honeylet Avancena today called for the creation of child-minding centers throughout the country to enable mothers to work without worrying about their child during the day. She encourages other LGUs to emulate Davao City’s new child-minding center.

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.”
