Happy Women's Month!

Ngayong buwan ng Marso ipinagdiriwang natin ang mga pang-sosyal, pang-ekonomiya, pang-kultural, at pampolitikal na kontribusyon ng mga kababaihan sa pag-unlad ng ating lipunan.

Malaki ang papel na ginagampanan ng ating mga kababaihan sa pagsulong ng ating ekonomiya at maging sa pagpapatibay ng relasyong pampamilya.

Kami po ay nagpapasalamat sa inyo at patuloy na sumusuporta sa pagpapaigting ng mga polisiya na nagpapalakas at nagpoprotekta sa mga kababaihan.

HAPPY WOMEN’S MONTH!
