Today marks another year for the global celebration of the day for Women. March 8 is the International Women’s Day or IWD and this is the day for celebrating all the achievements of women all over the world in different arenas — economic, political and social.
For me though, the most significant accomplishments and roles played by women in their lives can be seen and felt at home — by being mothers, wives, sisters, aunts, grandmothers… A woman’s love build homes, build characters, build lives.
May this day be inspirational, worthwhile, and exceptional for every proud Filipina and all the women of the world. Allow me to especially dedicate today’s celebration to the special women in my life who in their own capacity and uniqueness played their life’s roles very well. Their contribution to developing their families, friends, and the community itself, by sharing their values, their talents, their skills, and unselfish love, are worth high commendation. These are the women I met at home, in the community in the workplace, in the training industry, in the academe, in the blogosphere, in the streets and everywhere else I found myself at one point in my life.
Here are they:
I My Mother, Nanay Erly, the best in the world I My Mother-In-Law, Mommy Emy, the reason why my husband is a good person I My Mentor, Julie Borje, who molded my principles, ethics and values by being my very own model I Dr. Elena Cutiongco, the Academician who’s barr of excellence is very high and is my inspiration to always be the best I Bobong Cutiongco, truly a loving mother, an excellent trainor, and with admirable intense passion towards her advocacies I Nhet Angeles, my sister not by blood but by heart, for being the most patient and kindest Wife and Mother I Ethel Cruz, undoubtedly strong and a beautiful person inside, a very good friend I My ate, Marivic, who will undergo an operation today, she was the reason why I became educated I Joyce Dinglasan, intelligent and patient, one of the best I met in PLMar I Osay Villaflor, a true friend, one who never fail being one, very beautiful heart I Jen Aspacio, a woman of faith and who’s love for her family is unquestionable I Noemi Dado, a laudable Filipina, a woman of action and great determination I
To you beautiful and extraordinary women, this quote holds true:
“There is in every true woman’s heart, a spark of heavenly fire, which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity.” Washington Irving
To everyone, Happy International Women’s Day!
