Family is number one priority - Ferrer

"Cooperation and unity among the family members are very important factors," said Jeffrey P. Ferrer, the ever supporter of The Church activities ever since he was still a city councilor, then a mayor of the city, and now as the house representative of the 4th district in Negros Occidental.

"My family and my children are my number one priority," he further stressed.

Catching the program which was about to close, he shared his short inspiring message on the importance of family and how he managed his family in spite of his hectic schedule.

He also exchanged some pleasantries with the congregation of members and other invited guests by relating his closed tie up with the Church before and even in the present.
