WOMEN CAN MAKE CHANGE

In his message, Assistant Regional Executive Director Ismael Manaligod underscored the capabilities of women as contributing factor to change and development.

 

“Let us not limit our thinking, that if you are a woman employee, you can only go this far and you can only do this task. And for men, we should be sensitive on these gender roles and promote equality in our respective work environment,” the management services director said.

 

He also reminded that both men and women are equal in terms of capability and competence.

 

The culminating activity was highlighted with the film viewing of the employees’ performance of the One Billion Rising Dance, the biggest mass action to end violence against women.

 

The installation of Values Restoration Officers from the regional and field offices was also conducted in adherence with Civil Service Commission Announcement No. 40 s. 2017, and in partnership with the Council for the Restoration of Filipino Values.

 

Atty. Ellen Michelle Javier, learning service provider during the Gender Sensitivity Training conducted on March 7 and 14 was recognized. The training among executives and officials of DENR Region 2 was initiated by Regional Executive Director and Gender and Development Focal Point System chairperson Gwendolyn Bambalan.

 

The National Women’s Month celebration focused on women empowerment and their participation towards sustainable and equitable development.#
