President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. paid tribute to Filipino women on International Women’s Day, recognizing their vital role in shaping families, communities, and the nation’s progress.
In a message posted on March 8, Marcos described Filipinas as a powerful force who often balance multiple responsibilities.
“On International Women’s Day, I want to recognize the Filipino woman. She is a mother, a worker, a leader, and often, she is all of these at the same time. The progress of our nation will always carry the imprint of the Filipina, and she deserves a government that works as hard as she does,” he said.
The President emphasized his administration’s commitment to strengthening programs that support women and expand opportunities for them.
“Under this administration, we will continue to expand opportunities, protect rights, and ensure that every Filipina has access to the health, education, and livelihood programs she needs to thrive,” he added.
International Women’s Day, celebrated every March 8, honors women’s achievements and highlights the global push for gender equality. In the Philippines, the entire month of March is observed as National Women’s Month.
