The Future Generation Department (FGD), in collaboration with the local working youth and professional community in NCR, successfully held the opening of the Caloocan WCARP Office and TIMD Dojang on August 24, 2025. This initiative marks a significant step in expanding the department’s outreach and education efforts, particularly in providing a space where students and young professionals can be introduced to CARP’s principles and receive guidance in both faith and training.

The event’s success was made possible through the accredited Tong-Il Moo Do (TIMD) Chapter at Quezon City University, under the leadership of Mr. Leovino Sindanum, a CARP alumnus and TIMD practitioner. His support helped build the foundation for this center, which is envisioned as a new witnessing hub for students and the wider community.

The program opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by FFWPU Philippines Regional Director, Rev. Ronnie Sodusta, together with national church and FGD leaders. This was followed by a sanctification of the entire property with holy salt, also officiated by Rev. Sodusta.

FGD Director Jun Young Teves gave a congratulatory message, recalling his personal experiences in the same property during his time as a full-time mobilizer for HTM Blessings before the pandemic. He reflected on the history of the site and expressed gratitude that it has now been elevated to serve a national-level purpose for witnessing and youth empowerment.

Rev. Sodusta also shared an inspiring message, expressing gratitude to the community for their persistence and commitment, which laid the foundation for this new center. He emphasized that the center will bring substantial results in supporting the providence and highlighted the importance of both external and internal church communities—the physical gathering space and the spiritual fellowship that sustains faith amid challenges.

As part of the dedication, the leadership team for the new center was formally introduced. The couple Jericho De Guzman and Sreynav De Guzman, both CARP alumni, were appointed as the center leaders to guide the community in its day-to-day activities and witnessing efforts. Additionally, Kenneth Jhon Mark G. Momo was recognized as the FGD–TIMD National Coordinator, tasked with providing national-level guidance and direction for Tong-Il Moo Do activities connected to the youth providence.

Beyond the formal dedication, the gathering also served as an avenue to connect with the working youth community and strengthen bonds among first- and second-generation members.

It became an opportunity to share the success of the movement and inspire hope as the FGD continues to advance in the providence.

The short yet meaningful gathering was attended by 50 participants, including local members, working youth, and national leaders. Together, they celebrated not only the opening of a new facility but also the strengthening of community ties and the creation of a space dedicated to nurturing future leaders.

In conclusion, the opening of the Caloocan WCARP Office and TIMD Dojang stands as a testament to the unity and determination of the FGD and its partners. It represents a new chapter in witnessing and education, serving as a foundation for raising young people who will contribute to the growth of Heavenly Parent’s Holy Community in the Philippines.
