BATANGAS CITY - A total of 27 women from various barangays in the city received financial assistance worth P5,000 from the Kalipunan ng Liping Pilipina (KALIPI) so that they can use it for their medical needs.
Five (5) women's organizations were awarded the Gawad Parangal for their unity and cooperation in the implementation of city government programs in their communities.
Among the barangays honored were Barangay Conde Labac, Tigga Itaas, Barangay 24, Bolbok and Talahib Pandayan.
This year, the theme of the festival is “Juana Laban sa Pandemya, Kaya!”
Earlier here, a holy mass was held at the Basilica of Immaculada Concepcion attended by various groups of women and administered by the City Social Welfare & Development Office (CSWDO).
Also in conjunction with the celebration, a virtual meeting was held with the participation of about 80 people.
There was a virtual training for hand sanitizing where Susan Lascieras of the Home Extension Division of the Office of the City Veterinary and Agricultural Services (OCVAS) shared the making of hand sanitizer that women can earn even if they are only at home.
Important information on women's laws and rights was discussed by CSWD Officer Mila Espanola where she emphasized the great help and support provided by Mayor Beverley Dimacuha in the programs implemented for the welfare and improvement of the condition of women.
