March is Women’s Month in the Philippines and the world.
Since Monday, March 3, throughout the country,
the national government and the governments of many towns and cities
have held convocations, art exhibits, forums, recognition and
awarding ceremonies and other activities to celebrate Women’s
Month—and honor the fairer but stronger sex. Once again for the

around the theme of the 52nd Session of the United Nations
Commission on the Status of Women, “Financing for Gender Equality
and the Empowerment of Women.”
