Beneficiaries of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) in Anao, Tarlac gathered on April 30, 2026, at the Old Sangguniang Bayan Hall for a preventive seminar titled "Palakasin ang Sarili, Palakasin ang Pamilya," facilitated by Ms. Maria Mei Fatima S. Terania.
The seminar aimed to help participants recognize their self-worth (Kilalanin ang Sariling Halaga), develop a positive mindset (Linangin ang Positibong Kaisipan), and set clear personal goals (Magtakda ng Malinaw na Layunin). Discussions covered the importance of self-worth and self-care, alongside practical household stress management techniques, including the HALT Check, the Five-Second Pause, the Water Hack, the Lower Your Voice Technique, focusing on the next one thing, and grounding exercises.
Participants also took part in an activity called "The Self," where they reflected on and listed their achievements, challenges, blessings, and goals. They willingly shared their responses with the group, fostering an open and supportive environment for reflection and encouragement.
The seminar concluded with a vision board activity, allowing each participant to creatively express their hopes, dreams, and aspirations for themselves and their families, reinforcing the importance of personal growth as a foundation for stronger and healthier families.
