GAWAD BABAYLAN | 03-16-2026

The Local Government Unit (LGU) of San Clemente successfully conducted the Gawad Babaylan as part of its Women’s Month Celebration 2026, anchored on the theme “WE for Gender Equality and Inclusive Society” and sub-theme “Lead like the Babaylans, Filipinas!”. The activity aimed to recognize and honor the invaluable contributions of women employees in public service, highlighting their dedication, leadership, and commitment to community development.

Instead of holding a centralized program, the MSWDO staff conducted office-to-office visits to personally award the tokens of appreciation to all women employees across different departments. This approach ensured inclusivity and convenience, allowing all recipients to be recognized without disrupting their daily functions and responsibilities. It also created a more personal and meaningful interaction between the awarding team and the awardees.

Through this initiative, women employees were recognized as modern-day Babaylans—leaders who embody strength, resilience, compassion, and wisdom in their respective roles. The distribution of tokens symbolized the LGU’s gratitude for their continuous service and dedication to public service. The activity fostered a sense of appreciation, motivation, and unity among employees.

Overall, the Gawad Babaylan was successfully implemented as a decentralized recognition activity that strengthened the LGU’s commitment to Gender and Development (GAD). It not only honored the contributions of women but also reinforced the importance of promoting a gender-responsive and inclusive workplace.

Human Rights and Human Trafficking Orientation and Foster Care & Adoption Seminar

The Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO), in partnership with the Local Committee Against Trafficking and Violence Against Women and their Children (LCAT-VAWC), successfully conducted the Human Rights Orientation and Foster Care & Adoption Seminar on December 09, 2025 at the Teen Center, San Clemente, Tarlac. The activity gathered barangay officials, LCAT-VAWC members, Secretaries, Brgy. VAW Desk Officers, and community partners to strengthen local awareness on human rights and promote family-based alternative care for vulnerable children.
The seminar began with the discussion about Foster Care and Legal Adoption, where Ms. Princess Dantes, RSW from PSWDO explained the processes, requirements, and responsibilities of foster and adoptive parents. Participants gained a clearer understanding of how these programs provide safe and nurturing homes for children who are abandoned, neglected, or in need of temporary or permanent family care.
A detailed discussion on overview of fundamental human rights, highlighting national and international laws that protect individuals—especially women, children, and marginalized groups—from discrimination, abuse, and violence was discussed by PLT Joel Simbre. The session emphasized the community’s role in upholding dignity, equality, and protection, and in ensuring that human rights are recognized and respected at the barangay level.
The open forum encouraged meaningful dialogue, allowing participants to clarify concerns and express interest in supporting child protection programs. The activity concluded with a call for sustained collaboration among the LGU, barangays, and partner agencies.
Overall, the seminar effectively strengthened the community’s knowledge of human rights and broadened awareness on foster care and adoption. The activity reaffirmed the municipality’s commitment to promoting dignity, protection, and a safe environment for all individuals—especially children and women.
