'Family Is Important'

The week-long family week celebration of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) as inspired by its theme: "Confronting Family Poverty and Social Exclusion" was concluded yesterday.

The success of the said activities could be attributed as being obedient to LDS Church leaders' advice "to support the government's initiative to strengthen the Filipino family."

"Strengthening family ties, communication and values within the family is important in reducing cases of violence among family members," likewise the local news said.
