During the provincial celebration, lawyer Dale Tudtud, provincial chief of staff and provincial tourism officer, highlighted the importance of recognizing the invaluable contributions women make to society every day.

“This is truly your day, your time to shine. Women’s Day is the day women should be highlighted for how unique, beautiful, perfect, and how worthy each and single individual is,” said Tudtud.

He also reaffirmed the province’s commitment to empower women.

“The Capitol and the office are open for your plans, for your actions, to clear your thoughts, we are really here for you. Please do not be ashamed, do not be afraid, we are always here. There is no discrimination, we care for you,” Tudtud said.

The provincial government’s celebration, which took place at the Dugokanan sa Kapitolyo, aimed to acknowledge the achievements of women in the province.

The event featured a marching band competition exclusively for girls to showcase the talent and dedication of young women in music.
