☝️ CPD conducted 3 Days PMOC
The Association of Local Social Welfare and Development Officers in the Philippines Incorporated (ALSWDOPI) Bohol Chapter thru Commission on Population and Development (CPD) formerly PopCom initiated a 3 day Pre-Marriage Orientation and Counseling Seminar on August 29 to 31, 2023 at Panda Tea Garden Suite. It was attended by Quaquin J. Gales, LPT and Franz Marie V. Galeon both from MSWD Office.
By virtue of Presidential Decree 956, the 1987 Family code of the Philippines, Local Government Code, and the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health (RPRH) Law, all couples applying for a marriage license in the Philippines are required to attend the Pre-Marriage Orientation and Counseling (PMOC) session before they can be issued a license. It consists of four (4) major topics: Marriage and Relationships, Responsible Parenthood, Planning the Family, and Pregnancy & Child Care.
The purpose of PMOC is to provide would-be couples with information they will need in preparation for the challenges of married life, along with their responsibilities as spouses, family members, and future parents. It will also give them a better understanding of marriage so they can affirm their decision to get married based on sufficient knowledge and clear expectations.
