From the silk of our first national flag (Marcela Agoncillo) to the selfless service of a wartime hero (Josefa Llanes Escoda), women have always been the architects of our nation’s soul. Women have been a greater part of our country's history. In the Philippines, women have been at the forefront of peace negotiations in Mindanao, proving that a woman’s role is essential for long-term national stability.

This 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯’𝘴 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘩🌷 let’s celebrate the strength in our 𝘴𝘰𝘧𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴, the brilliance in our 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘴, and the unwavering 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 we give one another.

𝙉𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙡𝙪𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚. 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮; 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙙𝙧𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙩.

And you showed us all that it was never about being perfect. It was about showing up, even when we were afraid. It was about being part of something more than ourselves. And in that instant, we didn’t need sections, and we didn’t need circles. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝, 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞.
