Sunrise Trail Hike at Masungi Georeserve: An Empowering and Meaningful Birthday Celebration

Image
Since I was a child, as soon as June approaches, I feel thrilled because it's my birth month. I don't eagerly anticipate gifts, but rather the greetings from family and friends. It brings me joy. I am easily pleased. It doesn't take much to make me happy. Whenever I am asked what I want for my birthday, my usual response is "nothing" or "I don't know; I can't think of anything I want or need." I am not materialistic. I am happy. I am healthy. I am blessed with family and true friends. Feeling ko nasa akin na ang lahat and I prefer inner peace. Fancy that! Haha. I find more joy in giving, whether to family, friends, or even strangers. But this time, I said, "Lord, can I give myself a gift this time?" Since a retreat in Batulao is not possible yet, I scheduled a day for myself for a pampering session at the mall.

MELCHORA : A Movement of Women for Change and Reform

Battered wife/partner? Single parent? Abused in different ways ( physical, emotional, financial, sexual, digital) Yes?

Because I got all the help and support I needed from my mom, sisters, girl friends. AND guidance, mercy and love from our God. 


Last month (Women's month), I received an invitation from a party list - MELCHORA. Upon reading the invite, I undoubtedly confirmed my attendance since I find their mission relevant and I still don't have any party list on my mind for the coming Philippine election yet. 



Let me share with you what Melchora Party is: 

MELCHORA Party list shall pursue a legislative agenda anchored on the felt needs, experiences and aspirations of marginalized Filipino women and children. It is founded  by Ms. Grace Ibuna.

MELCHORA envisions a women’s sector that is aware and conscious of their civil, political and human rights acting collectively to support initiatives for personal growth and productivity.



They advocate a community of women helping women while partnering with men by providing access to work and livelihood opportunities. Hopefully and in time they will evolve practices to build a culture of self-reliance, collective work models towards mutual empowering women. 

Form this day forward, no women, no child shall feel abandoned, helpless and distressed because MELCHORA - a movement of women for change and reform shall be a beacon of hope, a ray of light from whom women can draw strength, courage and succour.
