|
|
SEEING many of the senators try to uncover every dirt in town

Women’s Day and
women presidents
|
|
March 8 is International Women’s Day. The Philippines should be
singularly proud that in the advancement of women’s rights and
welfare, it is neither No. 2 nor No. 3. It is No. 1. The Philippines

that, I blame the men.
