The event commenced with a parade and was followed by the program proper hosted by the National Fire Training Institute (NFTI). Moreso, this celebration marks an important feat on the road to achieving gender equality and societal change. Thus, it was grace with an inspirational message from the event’s Keynote Speaker, FCSUPT BELINDA B OCHAVE, NFTI Director and the first-ever female general in the history of the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA).
With this year’s theme up to 2028: “WE for Gender Equality and Inclusive Society”, the activity concluded with a dance of unity by all of the attendees in connection with the Women’s Month celebration.
Moreover, JSSUPT LEONALYN O OLOAN, Acting Director of PPSA, who is also the first female director of the academy, believes that women’s month is more than just a celebration. It is a movement to raise awareness and empower women in the same way that we do for all other genders within the organization, most importantly in the community.
Join us as we celebrate this month as advocates of women’s empowerment and gender equality!
