“Over the years, our country has been one with the global community in advancing the rights and welfare of the family,” Bautista said in a video message during an online forum in celebration of the International Day of Families on Monday, May 17.
In 1992, President Fidel V. Ramos issued Proclamation No. 60 declaring the last week of September each year as “Family Week,” a year before the United Nations has declared May 15 of every year as the “International Day of Families.”
“This shows how much we value the family sector as the smallest unit but the most formidable foundation of our society,” Bautista said.
