💜 Empowering Young Girls to Dream Big and Lead 💜

Around 150 young girls from the Regional Science High School for Region VI and Gaudencio Vega NHS participated in the recently concluded “Dream It, Be It: Career Support for Girls” Conference organized by Soroptimist International of Kalibo in partnership with the Local Government Unit of Kalibo through its Gender and Development (GAD) Focal Point System. The conference was held on March 6, 2026 as part of the celebration of National Women’s Month.

The activity provided a meaningful platform for young girls to discover their dreams, explore future career opportunities, set achievable goals, overcome obstacles, manage stress, and turn failures into success—equipping them with the confidence and mindset needed to pursue their aspirations.

Through initiatives like this, the Municipality of Kalibo continues to support programs that empower young women, nurture leadership, and inspire the next generation to dream big and take charge of their future.

💜 Together, we continue working toward a gender-equal and inclusive society where every girl has the opportunity to thrive.

💜 Purple Wednesday at LGU Kalibo! 💜

Today, we wear purple not just as a color — but as a symbol of unity, empowerment, and equality.
Purple Wednesday reminds us that every woman’s voice matters, every story inspires, and every act of courage creates change. 🌿

Like the Babaylans of our history — wise, strong, and compassionate women who led their communities with purpose —
today’s Filipinas continue that legacy.
They lead with heart, speak with conviction, and serve with love. 💫

At LGU Kalibo, we stand together to celebrate every woman who continues to rise, break barriers, and empower others.
Because when women lift one another, the whole community moves forward.

Lead like the Babaylans, Filipinas! 💜
