NATIONAL FAMILY WEEK
The National Family Week is a yearly celebration pursuant to
Presidential Proclamation No. 60 signed on Sept. 28, 1992 and
Executive Order No. 241 dated June 9, 1995 "in recognition of the
sanctity of family life and to protect and strengthen the family as
a basic autonomous social institution”.
Families nationwide are urged to celebrate the National Family Week
from September 20-26.
This year’s event carries the theme “Celebrating the Filipino
Families: Resilient and Caring” which gives recognition to the
Filipino families’ indomitable spirit and compassion.
“This is an opportune time
to strengthen family unity and relationships especially for those
families who went through difficult times because of the series of
disasters,”
Department of Social Welfare and Development Secretary Corazon
Juliano-Soliman said.
The National Committee on the Filipino Family (NCFF), chaired by
DSWD and composed of member-agencies of the government,
non-government organizations, and faith-based groups, will spearhead
the celebration.
