Search for Ms. Babaylan 2026 Celebrates Women’s Strength and Leadership ♀️💐

In celebration of Women’s Month, Tarlac West Central Elementary School successfully held the Search for Ms. Babaylan 2026, highlighting the wisdom, courage, and leadership of young Filipinas through the theme “Lead Like a Babaylan, Filipinas.”

The program opened with an inspiring message from Mrs. Bernadette P. Valencia, Head Teacher of TWCES. This was followed by a short story presentation about the Babaylan prepared by the learners. The candidates from Grades 4 to 6 confidently showcased their advocacies which reflects the spirit of a Babaylan.

The event was evaluated by a distinguished panel of judges composed of Ma'am Miriam Ruth Capulong, Ma'am Ma. Heidi Fajardo-Adi, and Ma'am Roumairah Kapli. The program was hosted by Ms. Thea Monte, intern of Ma’am Faith Lacson, and Ms. Francine Palencia, intern of Ma’am Isabel Ocampo.

During the awarding ceremony, three (3) special awards were presented, along with the proclamation of 3 winners for Little Miss Babaylan and 3 winners for Ms. Babaylan under the Intermediate Level, recognizing the outstanding confidence, advocacy, and leadership shown by the candidates.

EDSA PEOPLE POWER
February 25, 2026

Here are some trivia and fun facts about the EDSA People Power Revolution 🇵🇭

🇵🇭 1. It Happened Along One Highway
The revolution took place along Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA), one of the busiest roads in Metro Manila — but for four days in February 1986, it became the center of peaceful protest instead of traffic!

📅 2. It Lasted Only Four Days
The revolution happened from February 22 to 25, 1986 — just four days — but it changed Philippine history forever.

👥 3. Millions Joined — Peacefully
Over 2 million Filipinos gathered along EDSA. What made it special? It was mostly non-violent. People brought food, flowers, and even prayed the rosary in front of soldiers and tanks.

📻 4. A Radio Station Played a Huge Role
A Catholic radio station, Radio Veritas, helped inform people where to go and what was happening. It became a key communication tool during the revolution.

✝️ 5. Nuns Faced the Tanks
Images of nuns holding rosaries and offering flowers to soldiers became powerful symbols of peace during the revolution.

🏛 6. It Ended a 20-Year Rule
The revolution led to the end of **Ferdinand Marcos’ 20-year presidency.

👩‍⚖️ 7. The First Female President After EDSA
After the revolution, Corazon Aquino became president — the first female president of the Philippines.

🌍 8. It Inspired Other Countries
The peaceful nature of the revolution inspired similar non-violent movements in other countries around the world.

📍 9. A Shrine Stands There Today
The EDSA Shrine (also called the Shrine of Mary, Queen of Peace) was built in honor of the People Power Revolution.
