FORT RAMON MAGSAYSAY, Nueva Ecija --The
Philippine Army 7th Infantry (Kaugnay) Division (7ID) under the leadership of
Major General Glorioso V. Miranda honored Monday the women sector in line with
the National Women's Month celebration.
Miranda said this year's celebration aims to pay tribute to
all women leaders who passionately led and continue to advance women’s
advocacies.
He said the women's key roles and accomplishments in
leadership, power and decision-making was highlighted in order to influence and
break the conservative mindset and belief that politics and leadership are not
for women.
Capt. Mark Ruelos, 7ID information officer, said the program
was anchored on the objectives of this year’s celebration which are as follows:
to recognize and highlight women’s key roles and accomplishments in leadership,
power and decision-making; to increase awareness on engaging women to
participate at all levels of policy and decision-making; and to share
strategies and best practices women have employed to become successful leaders.
Defense Secretary Voltaire T. Gazmin, in his written message
to the military here, asked the soldiers to “sustain the momentum.”
Gazmin said the Department of National Defense has been
working with great importance to gender and development programs.
"Opportunities are given to women to become part of
every level of policy and decision making process, and they fully recognize the
benefits in empowering women," Gazmin said in his message.
Col. Dionisio Baudin Jr., Chief of Staff of the 7ID, said
that “This year’s, celebration of Women’s Month will pay tribute to the strong
and resilient Juanas who brought inspiring changes here in the country and
across the globe."
"After the recent geological, socio-economic and
political upheavals that shook the country last year, this year, is the best
time to highlight the drivers of change. This celebration recognizes the role
of women in the rehabilitation process and their over-all contributions to
progress.” Baudin added.
