Imagine the world without the sun. Dark and cold right? Now,imagine a home without a light. Stereotyped by many, women are entitled to be the housekeepers, the launderers, the cooks, the one that should do the house chores, etc. But are women really capable of doing just that?
Dating back to the 19th century, women are oppressed. They were given the parameters of what they should and should not do belittling their capabilities. The right of education was taken away from them as well as the right to vote. They were told of as to how to dress and how to act. Looking back to those years is a far cry from what women of today are experiencing.
Change is inevitable. What used to be houses are now big establishments. Telegraphs are now replaced by cell phones. Horse carriages are now cars. As change applies to everything, change has also worked for women. From being oppressed to now being celebrated.
March is declared to be Women’s month. A month not to be disregarded because this is a celebration of how women have fought their way to their rights as significant beings. Of how empowered women are today to do whatever there is to do and fight every battle there is to fight for. And most especially a celebration of the one who raised all of the successful endeavors.
To take part of the celebration, my hometown - Manolo Fortich has prepared various activities showcasing the talents and skills of the Manolo Fortich women. And just this 27th of March 2019, women from all over the town gathered at the Municipal Gymnasium for the culminating program of the Women’s Month Celebration highlighting the search for Miss Plus Size Woman of Manolo Fortich.
Rewarding the women’s effort in all the activities, winners were awarded during the culminating program. Many rejoiced for their victory and everyone indulged the moment of being the star this month. For the celebration’s highlight, the ten lovely candidates surely have embodied Pia Wurtzbach’s punchline of being “confidently beautiful with a heart”. They showcased how one’s size never defines one’s beauty and entire being. Throughout the pageant candidate number 6 – the LGU (Local Government Unit) represent stood out and has been crowned as the first ever Miss Plus size woman of Manolo Fortich.
With the winner’s coronation also adjourns the Women’s month Culminating program. But the celebration doesn’t end there, because women is not only celebrated on March. We celebrate women everyday especially our mothers who in all the ways they could nurtured us into becoming the person we are today and the person we all will be in the future.
