Some comments from the participants:

• “This seminar is one of the best events I have attended in my entire life. I would suggest to prolong it to not only one day.”
• “Do it regularly to change the heart of every PNP personnel and be an example to lead his/her family.”
• “Must be cascaded to all PNP units and hopefully this seminar will be included in the PNP basic recruit course.”
• “I strongly suggest that this seminar be done to the entire PNP regularly because I learned a lot from it and it opened my eyes to the reality of being a parent.”
• “The topic is very relevant to our lives and to our work as police officers. In spite of the busyness and workload, we have to maintain connection and establish rapport to our family, and above all, to our God. It reminded me of my priority in life – God, family, work, and friends. I think this seminar will greatly help other units and agencies in the government service.”
• “The seminar is very relevant at present, considering that the PNP is conducting internal cleansing.”
• “I suggest that this kind of workshop be done every quarter for every PNP married and parent personnel, to boost harmonious relationship. The timely and needed workshop opened the mind and the relationship to God and family members.”
• “It was such a good and excellent presentation. You made it so easy and clear that everybody could understand. Very inspiring seminar!”
• “The seminar will be a guide to all the attendees in good parenting to their children and will help a lot in maintaining peace and harmony inside our home.”
