The CFLGA is a testament to their unwavering commitment to creating child-friendly communities that prioritize the well-being and development of the younger generation.

This achievement is closely aligned with the provincial development thrust, Asenso Misamis Occidental—a vision of a "Misamisnong that is peaceful, progressive, and joyful." ( MAGPUYONG MALINAWON MALAMBOON UG MALIPAYON)
Under the leadership of Governor Henry Sevilla Oaminal, this recognition reflects the collective efforts of the province's leaders in fostering environments where children can thrive and achieve their full potential.
