Lila Mayor Arturo Piollo II (inset, upper left corner) said: “Last March 14, 2025 LGU Lila came together to honor and celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of women in our community. The day began with a Holy Mass officiated by Rev. Fr. Avelino Vale, setting the tone for a meaningful and inspiring event. Attendees were empowered through insightful talks, including “Business Life” by our resource speaker and entrepreneur, Ms. Frances Tirol-Espinosa who shared valuable insights on financial independence and entrepreneurship. Another important discussion focused on RA 11313, the Safe Spaces Act (Bawal Bastos Law), led by PMSG. Angera L. Peñanueva from Women and Children Protection Desk (WCPD), raising awareness on protecting women’s rights and creating safer environments for all. Adding to the festive spirit, different barangays showcased their talents and unity through vibrant presentations. The highlight of the afternoon was the Coronation of Ginang Lila 2025, where remarkable women were honored for their grace and influence. To spread more joy, a RICE PA RAFFLE was held, bringing smiles to many lucky winners. This celebration was not just an event but a testament to the power of women and the unwavering support of the community in fostering equality and empowerment. Here’s to stronger, bolder, and more empowered women in Lila and beyond!” Contributed photo
