DSWD Field Office 02 Regional Director, Ponciana P. Condoy congratulated the graduates for their industry and enthusiasm in the program.

She shared her on thoughts on the course: “This training program is for you to pursue becoming good leaders to bridge the gap of poverty and be able to alleviate the living conditions of the poor. You have all the potential, you only need to realize that as workers, you have to outgrow your fears and shyness and apply the bridging leadership skills that you learned.”

“With all the difficulties I encountered during my service with DSWD, I chose to stay. Treat your appointments as diamonds. The things you learned should be treated with importance as well as applied. More importantly, always practice a positive attitude!” Condoy added.
