Rightfully HER'S




    March is commonly regarded as Women's Month in the Philippines, a time to celebrate and commemorate the tremendous contributions made by women to society. This month-long commemoration strives to increase public awareness of women's rights and the battles they have waged for equality.

   The first week of March was designated as Women's Week by Proclamation No. 224, which marked the beginning of the Philippines' celebration of Women's Month. In an effort to advance gender equality and women's empowerment, this was eventually extended to the entire month.

   The 2023 National Women's Month Celebration marks a key turning point for women's rights, establishing WE for gender equality and an inclusive society as the new recurrent theme for the following six years, until 2028.

  The Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2023-2028 emphasizes that growth must be inclusive, creating an environment that offers equal opportunities to all Filipinos and equipping them with skills to fully participate in an innovative and globally competitive economy.

  Throughout the month, there are a number of occasions and activities that support women's empowerment, including webinars, seminars, exhibitions of arts and culture, and health and wellness fairs. Also, several businesses provide promotions and discounts specifically for women.

  Events and activities are held all around the country to celebrate women's accomplishments and to advance women's causes. Women's organizations, NGOs, and government organizations actively participate in planning and promoting these events, which are led by the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW).

  This year, PCW wants everyone to wear purple on Wednesdays during the whole month of March, not just women. Using the hashtags #PurpleWednesdays, #WEcanbeEquALL, and #NWMC2023, they can share their images online.

  Women's Month in the Philippines is a vital time to celebrate women's achievements while acknowledging the challenges they continue to face in achieving gender equality. It is an opportunity for individuals and organizations to unite and work towards creating a more just and equal society for all. (PIA-NCR).

   We must  continue the weomen's month celebration to give more rights for girls and women does not mean fewer rights for everybody else. In fact, the celebration of National Women’s Month aims for equality for all genders and identities. In other words, it dreams of an even playing field for everybody.

  We can learn so much from women of the past and present and draw strength from their courage. Like these women, Camella believes in female courage and its ability to shape households. Camella believes that women make strong foundations for communities.

REFLECTION

             I had learned so much in such a short period of time. There were numerous lessons learned. Lessons in school and in life. I go to school, which is one of the reasons I have to work hard and make my family proud. Each subject has its own set of lessons to teach. This second quarter has taught me a lot. Everyday learning is good for our health. I'm certain it does. Due to the abundance of assignments, learning can be exhausting at times, but the effort will be worthwhile. Tags in ICT, mirrors and motors in Science, and many other topics are covered. I'd like to learn more in the future. Thank you also to the teachers who are eager to share their knowledge.

“The art of LOVE is largely the art of persistence.”

 "Self  Love”    Valentine’s Day, also called St. Valentine’s Day, holiday (February 14) when lovers express their affection with greetings and gifts. Given their similarities, it has been suggested that the holiday has origins in the Roman festival of Lupercalia, held in mid-February. The festival, which celebrated the coming of spring, included fertility rites and the pairing off of women with men by lottery. At the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I forbid the celebration of Lupercalia and is sometimes attributed with replacing it with St. Valentine’s Day, but the true origin of the holiday is vague at best. Valentine’s Day did not come to be celebrated as a day of romance until about the 14th century.    The day is popular in the United States as well as in Britain, Canada, and Australia, and it is also celebrated in other countries, including Argentina, France, Mexico, and South Korea. In the Philippines it is the most common wedding anniversary, ...
