Angeles honors gender-sensitive villages

ANGELES CITY — The City Government here recently recognized the excellence and innovation of several barangays for their campaign to become gender-sensitive and gender-responsive.
After eight months of the search, Barangay Balibago won the most outstanding gender-sensitive barangay, followed by Barangay Lourdes Sur East and Barangay Lourdes North West in second and third place, respectively.
Rodelio Mamac, barangay chairman of Balibago, expressed his gratitude for receiving the title.
According to him, they made a strict implementation of the law against violation of women and children’s rights in their area.
“Together with the local government, marami tayong na-rescue na mga naabusong kababaihan at bata, dahil naging seryoso tayo sa pag-iimplement natin sa mga programa natin para sa kanila,” he added.
The awarding ceremonies of the “Search for the Most Gender-Sensitive and Gender Responsive Barangay” were held Thursday at the Marquee Mall Activity Center.
Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan lauded the barangays who participated in the search. He also expressed his deep support to all members of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community.
He also recognized the concerted efforts of the residents of winning barangay to ensure the success of their gender and development programs.
“This awarding ceremony aims to recognize the efforts of each barangay and encourage them to further improve the implementation of programs that would protect abused women and children,” Pamintuan said.
Purita Pineda-David, head of the Gender and Development (GAD) Office, said the awarding of such title is to encourage barangays to continue their crusade in helping those who are in need, as well as to promote each barangays’ programs on the protection and welfare of women and children by sharing them with other villages.
Doris Siy Hian, one of the judges, explained that they observed how the officers of each barangay handled each difficult situation just to help women and children in need – this was a major criterion for awarding the title.
“We noticed how these officers quickly respond to their needs especially to those who were abused,” Siy Hian said.
Three most outstanding desk officers of the Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) were also recognized.
The awardees include Marites Canlas from Barangay Claro M. Recto Luzviminda Bacor from Barangay Malabanias and Maricel Ocampo from Barangay Lourdes Sur East at first, second and third place.
The GAD office is the first in the Philippines and was established in 1993 under the Pamintuan administration. It aims to protect the rights of women, children and those who belong in the LGBT community.
