MANILA, Philippines — As the nation m marks on Saturday, Senate President Francis Escudero called on Filipinos to continue foster a society where equal opportunities are created for everyone.
“Patuloy nating isulong ang pagkakaroon ng isang makataong lipunan na lilikha ng mga pantay na oportunidad para sa lahat nang hindi nakabase sa kasarian, estadong panlipunan, paniniwalang pangrelihiyon, at kinaaanibang pulitika,” Escudero said in a statement.
(Let us continue to advance a humane society that will create equal opportunities for all, not based on gender, social status, religious and political beliefs.) “Isang maalab na pagpupugay para sa lahat ng mga kababaihang Pilipino sa kanilang kontribusyon sa pagtataguyod ng ating bayan,” Escudero added.
(A warm tribute to every Filipina for their contribution to advancing progress for our country.)
Proclamation No. 227 in 1988 declared March as the Women’s Role in History Month in the country. Republic Act No. 6494 also assigned March 8 as National Women’s Day.
