2005 is Centennial Year of Phil Feminist Movement

      The year 2005 marks the Centennial Year of the Feminist Movement in the Philippines, as declared by Proclamation No. 622 signed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on April 29, 2004.
     With the theme “Celebrating the Past, Inspiring the Future,” the event is a celebration of the Filipina’s historical achievements in various fields and sectors, and the contributions of the feminist movement in nation-building.
     It will also be the time to reflect on the impact of Feminism on the Filipinos’ lives and the country’s history.
     The City of Bacolod, together with other local government units, will conduct a massive information campaign on this historical event, which will start on the last quarter of 2004 until the first quarter of 2006.
      The city government will also drum up support from women non-government organizations in coming up with various activities such as symposia or fora on women issues and concerns, women’s health and nutrition consciousness programs, search for most outstanding women, quiz bees and other contests relevant to the celebration.*(CMO-PIO/jmi)
