The new set of officers of the oldest Muslim women group in General Santos City vowed to continue their civic and Da’wah activities that serve the Muslim Ummah of town including those from adjacent provinces of Sarangani and South Cotabato.
“As catalysts of change, we must continue what we have been doing, serving our fellow Muslims,” said Aida Seddic, the newly elected president of Muslim Women Organization of General Santos City (MuWOGen) during the Induction Ceremony on November 9, 2013.
Created in 1995, MuWoGen has been engaged in various outreach and cultural activities that included feeding and providing school supplies to children from conflict affected areas, serving snacks every Eidul Fit’r celebration, and serving Iftar in jail and mosques during Ramadhan.
The organization extends support to the Regional Qur’an Reading Competition hosted by the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos every year.
MuWOGen also tapped other agencies and supporters to organize livelihood training for poor Muslim women.
It has also hosted various Da’wah activities to equip inmates, Muslim women and youth with Islamic values and knowledge.
During Kalilangan Festival of the city, MuWOGen actively engages in showcasing the Moro culture and tradition through cultural presentations and exhibits.
In her inspirational message during the ceremony, Gensan City Vice-Mayor Shirlyn Nograles expressed appreciation to the Muslim women for sustaining their organization for almost two decades.
“Keep with your strong bonding because as you are united, you can do a lot of things to better your communities,” she said.
Shariah Lawyer Latipa Tama, outgoing MuWOGen president, related the accomplishments of the organization owing it to the continuous support of both its officers and members.
“Your time, efforts and resources shared will surely be rewarded,” she told her colleagues.
“We have plans which will be realized as long as we keep our commitments to MuWOGen,” Seddic pointed out.
The organization has more than fifty members comprised of professionals, retirees, government employees, entrepreneurs, teachers, and youth.
It has also welcomed Muslim women from Sarangani and South Cotabato to become members.
