Let us take Michelle Obama’s words as a powerful reminder that a country only truly flourishes when the potential of every citizen is unlocked. Today, we call upon every Filipina to step forward, whether in the boardroom, community, or home, because our leadership is the spark our country needs.

Don’t just take a seat at the table; lead the conversation. Like the Babaylans before us, let’s lead with courage and unwavering purpose. Together, let’s continue to build a society where the contributions of women are not just welcomed but are recognized as the very heart of the nation-building.

Rise up. Speak out. Lead on.

As part of the culminating activities, a Financial Literacy Session was conducted in partnership with the Pag-IBIG Fund, which provided participants with practical knowledge on financial management. The session highlighted essential topics such as budgeting, savings, and responsible use of loan programs, while also raising awareness on the various programs and services offered by Pag-IBIG Fund, equipping employees—especially women—with the tools needed to make informed and empowered financial decisions.

More than an information drive, the initiative emphasized that both financial independence and informed, sustainable governance are vital components of women’s empowerment—enabling them to lead with confidence, make sound decisions, and contribute meaningfully to nation-building.

Also, complementing the activity were key discussions on the Peace and Order Audit, with a focus on identifying gaps and corresponding interventions to strengthen peace and order mechanisms in accordance to the parameters set forth in the audit guidelines. In addition, the activity also made way to reiterate the Office of the President Memorandum Circular No. 114, which highlighted energy-saving initiatives and the importance of sustainability in government operations in view of the ongoing global geopolitical tensions.
