"It is not enough to simply welcome differences; we must also have tangible programs, projects, activities, and services that cater to the needs of individuals just like Senior Citizens, people with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ members, Indigenous Peoples, women, children, and people with different cultural backgrounds and religious beliefs."
In essence, this was the focus of the message of Regional GAD Committee XII Chairperson, Josephine Cabrido-Leysa, CESO III, Regional Director of the DILG XII, during the CY 2023 National Women’s Month Kick-off Celebration today, March 6, 2023.
