The seventh week of the year marked another inspiring and impactful moment for the team at ATICentraVisayas, as they continued their journey of values-centered growth and celebrated the accomplishments of local students. The February 10 gathering, which was part of the ongoing Values Restoration Program, saw a combination of reflection, empowerment, and recognition.

Ms. Merigine Otara, Planning Officer II of the PMEU, delivered a powerful reflection on the Weekly Value Focus: The Heart of True Fellowship. Her message reminded attendees of the importance of building authentic connections and fostering mutual trust in both personal and professional environments. Through her heartfelt reflection, Otara highlighted that true fellowship is not just a concept but an actionable value that guides every interaction.

Following Otara’s reflection, Center Director Dr. Gracia F. Arado emphasize the core values that drive today's message of Trust, Care, and Concern. Dr. Arado underscored that these values are not only foundational to the work done at ATICentraVisayas but are also integral to the well-being of every individual involved. She expressed that everyone in the community deserves these values, ensuring that everyone feels seen, heard, and supported.

The event also served as a special occasion to honor the achievements of two talented students from Dr. Cecilio Putong National High School—Mark Gill D. Lumanas and Ram Gabriel S. Pungay. These aspiring animators recently completed their immersion program at the center. From January 13 to February 7, 2025, both students dedicated their time and talents to honing their skills in the field of animation, under the mentorship of industry professionals.

Mark Gill and Ram Gabriel were presented with Certificates of Immersion, a well-deserved recognition of their hard work and commitment to learning.
