INFERIOR WOMEN in the PAST, BETTER WOMEN NOW and in the FUTURE!


‘Women are never stronger than when they arm themselves with their weakness.  ~Marie de Vichy-Chamrond, Marquise du Deffand, Letters to Voltaire”
WOMEN contributed a lot to the society; we even had a FILIPINA president. The mothers in our homes make our day complete by showing their care and love for us. One name entered in my mind, Ms. Regina Paz “Gina” Lopez. She mirrors how the Filipinas take care of others and how they sacrifice to be a blessing to others. Like Melchora Aquino and other Filipinas, she imparted a lot to the society especially to the needy ones.
As I read the article from http://www.cdm.aim.edu, I was inspired that she was the one who lead to the projects concerning with saving the environment of our country like the “Pasig River rehabilitation” and “No to mining in Palawan”. She is received an award for International Public Relations Award of Excellence for the Environment and Outstanding Manilans because of one of her environmental projects, the Bantay Kalikasan. I see myself in her after how many years. I want to have many foundations to help like her. Based from http://www.synergos.org, she does not only focus on the environment but also with the schools and the education of the children. I was amazed when I read that she developed the science TV show, Sine’skwela, for alternative learning material for us. One of her most well-known foundation is the Bantay- Bata which really helped a lot of the abused children since then. Gina Lopez uses her profit not only for herself but also to help the society. She may become a role model to others that no matter how much money one will have, there is no excuse to help others and become a blessing. As the past sees WOMEN, they see them inferior but now, things are changed. It is not about the gender anyway; it is how one will prove the things he can do.
