The City Council, during last Monday’s regular session, approved a resolution recognizing and congratulating Johnny Ingosan Adjaro, Sr. and family of lower Balacbac, Sto. Tomas Proper barangay for being conferred the Natatanging Pamilyang Pilipino regional winner by the Department of Social Welfare and Development–Cordillera Administrative Region (DSWD-CAR) as bestowed by the National Committee on the Filipino Family (NCFF) of the DSWD.
In a resolution, local legislators stated that the city government expressed honor and pride for the recognition bestowed by the regional and national bodies to the Adjaro family which proves that Baguio families could also excel in such competitions.
Johnny Ingosan Adjaro, Sr. is a retired high school teacher from the Baguio City National High School (BCNHS) while his spouse Martina is a midwife who had to stop working to attend to the needs of the growing family.
The Ibaloi couple is blessed with 6 children, 4 girls and 2 boys and like any other couple, the council claimed that the Adjaro couple experienced hardships and challenges to provide for the needs of the family by engaging in farming highland vegetables and raising cows and hogs to be able to send their children to school.
However, the body claimed that their hard work and sacrifices were rewarded when some of their children graduated as honor students.
Moreover, all of the Adjaro children are now professionals having graduated from college in their chosen courses.
According to the resolution, the Adjaro couple are known in the community as disciplinarians and God-gearing parents where conflicts are immediately resolved through proper communication.
The members of the Adjaro family are close to each other, neat and enjoy doing things together. They are actively engaged in community, civic and faith activities that contribute to the progress and development of their place, thus, they are looked up to as role models by many residents in their barangay.
