Attended by communications officers from the Integrated State Media, the workshop emphasized the agencyโ€™s commitment to promote equal representation of all genders in public communication.

PCO Assistant Secretary Ronadale M. Zapata, in her opening remarks, highlighted the essential role of communication in shaping perspectives and advancing gender equality.

During the discussion led by Atty. Allen Espino, participants gained essential knowledge of gender and development (GAD) concepts, and explored how the media shapes gender perceptions. The session addressed challenges such as stereotyping and biased language, offering practical strategies to foster accurate and gender-balanced representation and eliminate sexism in public messaging.

In his closing message, PCO Assistant Secretary Allan Francisco reaffirmed the shared responsibility of government communicators in advancing gender-fair and inclusive communication. He also reiterated the PCOโ€™s continued commitment to communication that reflects the dignity, diversity, and lived realities of every Filipino in pursuit of a genuinely inclusive Bagong Pilipinas.

Sa paggunita ng Araw ng Kagitingan, kinikilala natin hindi lamang ang katapangan at katatagan ng mga sundalo sa Bataan Death March, kundi pati ang mahahalagang ambag ng kababaihan bilang mga haligi ng pag-asa noong panahon ng Ikalawang Digmaang Pandaigdig.

Ang kanilang makapangyarihang ambagโ€”sa pamamagitan ng malasakit, sakripisyo, at katatagan para sa kapwa at bayanโ€” ay patuloy na nagsisilbing inspirasyon sa mga kababaihan.
