COMPOSTELA, Cebu (PIA) — More than 300 children and parents received comics on ASEAN benefits during the observance of the National Children's Month here.

The comics “Benipisyo ng ASEAN” were distributed by Compostela Police Station personnel led by PSI Junafe Vergara Ruiz during the half-day activity over the weekend.

Joining the activity was Compostela Vice Mayor Josephine Abing with some barangay captains.

Vergara said it was an opportunity for the children and the parents to learn the benefits of ASEAN in comics form, making it simpler to understand.

“We always hear about it on the news, television and radio, but we don’t seem to know what it really is and what it benefits the simpleng tao,” Vergara said.

Some copies were also given to cops and representatives of the business sectors in the town.

Other than the ASEAN comics, Philippine Information Agency (PIA) also distributed comics on the West Philippine Sea.

In the event there were also entertainment and games, food stalls, ice cream, and the customary feeding with nutritious “lugaw”.

The Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC) enjoins the support of member agencies, partners, and stakeholders for a meaningful celebration of the National Children’s Month celebration through the conduct of activities aligned with its theme for 2017 "Bata: Iligtas sa Droga!"
