Bilang panghuling aktibidad ng AFAB sa pagdiriwang ng Women’s Month, isinagawa ng Authority of the Freeport Area of Bataan (AFAB), sa pamamagitan ng Gender and Development (GAD) Committee nito, ang isang paligsahan at tagisan ng kaalaman tungkol sa gender and development 26 Marso 2026.

Muling ipinamalas ng mga lumahok na mga manggagawa sa FAB ang lawak ng kaalaman hinggil sa mga umiiral na batas, mga programa’t aktibidad ng AFAB sa pagsusulong ng gender awareness at equality, gayundin ang mga naging kontribusyon ng kababaihan sa kasaysayan ng Pilipinas.

Parehong naging masaya at makabuluhan ang bawat aktibidad para sa Women’s Month ngayong taon, kasama ang bawat manggagawang kaisa natin sa pagsusulong ng isang lipunang may pagrespeto at pantay na pagtrato sa bawat kababaihan.

Matagumpay na isinagawa ng Authority of the Freeport Area of Bataan (AFAB), sa pamamagitan ng Gender and Development (GAD) Committee nito, ang “GAD Congress: An Awareness Orientation on Anti-Rape Law and Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act” bilang bahagi ng pagdiriwang ng National Women’s Month.

Tinalakay sa nasabing aktibidad ang mahahalagang probisyon ng Republic Act No. 8353 o Anti-Rape Law of 1997, gayundin ang Republic Act No. 9208 o Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2003, na pinalawak sa ilalim ng Republic Act No. 11862. Layunin nitong palalimin ang kaalaman ng buong FAB Community hinggil sa mga batas na nagtataguyod ng karapatan at proteksyon ng kababaihan, at isulong ang isang ligtas at gender-fair workplace.

Pinatunayan ng aktibidad na ito ang mariing pagsuporta ng AFAB sa adbokasiya ng patas na pagtinging sa bawat kasarian at pagpapahalaga sa mahalagang papel ng kababaihan sa isang mayabong at matagumpay na Freeport Area of Bataan.

Noong umaga ng ika-6 ng Marso 2026, muling nagkaisa ang buong FAB Community sa taunang Parada Para Kay Juana bilang hudyat ng pagdiriwang ng National Women’s Month.

Nakiisa ang mga kumpanya sa FAB, kanilang mga manggagawa, lokal na pamahalaan ng Mariveles, mga paaralan, at iba pang organisasyong bumubuo ng FAB upang ipakita ang suporta sa adhikaing magkaroon ng patas na karapatan at pagtingin sa mga kababaihan at lahat ng kasarian.

Muli, nagpapasalamat po ang AFAB sa inyong pakikiisa sa panahong mas kailangang dumagundong ang ating tinig sa mga lansangan - ipaalam, isigaw, at ipagdiwang ang kagalingan, kagandahan, at kamangha-manghang Juana.

Para sa isang FAB na nagmamahal, nag-iingat, at kumikilala sa lakas at halaga ng ating mga kababaihan.

Abante, Babae!
