 “We are overwhelmed by the active participation of the Madrasah centers in this contest,” said Jocelyn Lambac-Kanda, head of CMO-ICCAD.

She bared, “Some classrooms have transformed from having blackboard and few chairs only into ones which you can compare with that of kinder classrooms of private schools with complete facilities, various learning materials, TV set, reading and playing corners, etc.”

“We can say there was a total make-over, we now have more presentable Madaris kinder classrooms in our city and those will surely entice our young learners to study,” Lambac-Kanda added.

The awarding rites was graced by Mayor Ronnel C. Rivera, City Councilor Jonathan Blando - Committee Chairman on Muslim Affairs,  the National Commisiion on Muslim Filipinos OIC Provincial Director, Aida Seddic, and Task Force Gensan Commander Col.

He said the city government strongly supports the Madaris education and it will continuously implement programs responsive to the needs of the Muslim communities in the city.

Councilor Blando cited the important role of the parents in the education of their children that help molds the young generation into responsible and productive citizens of the city.
