In her message, Fernandez enjoined  the young leaders to find out their purpose in life in the training seminar so that when they come back to Dagupan, they will better serve their schools  and their fellow students and become great leaders especially when time comes that they will take over the helm of the city. 
“The thing is I want you to be happy, to be safe, and to have a bright future. That is why, all the programs and projects that I have instituted and implemented were all driven by a purpose. I want our city to be a child-friendly city and a happy city for children to live, grow-up and stay,” said Fernandez.

She said that when the city plans and talks  about education, health, employment, livelihood, clean rivers, safe and peaceful communit strong family, strong economy, the city  refers to only one thing – the future of the young people. (Joseph C. Bacani/CIO/May 27, 2015)
