Every year we celebrate a long month merriment for women, a month of giving importance, awareness and value to them. The women’s federated group in town has celebrated its Women’s month last March 6, 2010 with the theme: “Babae, Tagumpay Ka Ng Bayan” done at Municipal Multi-purpose Building, with the leadership of its federated president Dr. Elvira A. Egay Ph.D, who founded and implemented women’s group in the municipality. It was participated by a true woman and real friend Dr. Sol F. Matugas with her program of implementations regarding womens rights and responsible womanhood in the community to uplift thoroughly the true essence of being a woman. One program which had been realized was “spiritual enhancement”.
The activity was divided into 5 phases of events to make it more enjoyable. A medical mission was done at the municipal health center which contributed free Pap smear, FBS, Urinalysis and Cholesterol measures. Everyone was checked-up especially those who are less fortunate. A canvass of muses was done by the board of canvassers wherein every group of women organization select or chooses a muse representative to present their barangay. The selection process was based on the amount collected - who among the group could collect the highest amount would be declared as Queen on the coronation program.
Beforehand, a thanksgiving mass was made to give honor to the Almighty for the opportunity over the years. A parade was officially started headed by Police/Insp. Laurence Ganuelas at exactly 3:00 o’clock. Time set according to the Barangay Officials, Barangay Women’s Organization, Municipal Employees, National and Provincial Employees and the general public at the Municipal Plaza respectively. Then the opening program was formally started with the coronation night as the highlight of the event. There was also awarding of plaque of appreciation to deserving women leaders of the barangay chapters given by the local unit.
Meanwhile, the 13 princesses ramped on stage accordingly. Barangay Ipil represented by Mrs. Mercy E. Matchika assisted by Brgy. Captain Loreto Laurena and SB Member Lita Parba topped and was declared as queen for this year. The 2009 queen Mrs. Leonielyn L. Gutierrez gracefully faced the crowd before entrusting the scepter of power and turned over the cape of responsibility. It was definitely an astonishing finale as a queen of all women in the Municipality of Gigaquit. For the new queen, responsiveness on the women organization leading to a more progressive must be taken first.
