Female lawmakers are expected to temporarily take full control of the plenary session tomorrow in observance of the National Women’s Month.

Women take over House for a day
Rep, Yedda Romualdez and Rep. Rose Marie Arenas

An All-Women Session at the Plenary will be led by Pangasinan 3rd District Representative Deputy Speaker Rose Marie “Baby” Arenas acting as the Speaker. 

She is the president of the 86-strong Association of Women Legislators Foundation, Inc. (AWLFI) of the 18th Congress, a non-profit, non-partisan organization composed of all lady solons at the House of Representatives. 

Arenas is sharing the speakership position with Deputy Speakers Evelina Escudero and Vilma Santos-Recto. 

An official statement said the other presiding officers in the All-Women Session are Reps. Marlyn Alonte, Cheryl Deloso-Montalla, Ann Hofer, Lucille Nava, Josephine Ramirez-Sato, Kristine Singson-Meehan, Estrellita Suansing, Lorna Silverio, Yedda Marie Romualdez, Lorna Bautista-Bandigan, and Mercedes Cagas.

Rep. Rosanna Vergara will be the Majority Floor Leader with Reps. Sandra Eriguel, Elisa Kho and Ma. Theresa Collantes acting as Deputy Majority Floor Leaders.

Reps. Janette Garin and Stella Luz Quimbo will serve as Minority Leader and Deputy Minority Leader, respectively.

Rep. Cristal Bagatsing will lead the opening prayer. Rep. Jocelyn Limkaichong will be the Over-All Facilitator for the day with Reps. Ma. Angelica Amante-Matba and Camille Villar as Assistant Floor Facilitators. 

One of the measures to be discussed on the floor is the establishment of resource development and crisis assistance centers for women and children throughout the country to uplift their condition, particularly those who are victims of abuse. 

Reps. Ma. Lourdes Acosta-Alba, Geraldine Roman, Sol Aragones, France Castro, Arlene Brosas, Sarah Jane Elago, Irene Gay Saulog and Ruth Mariano-Hernandez are also scheduled to deliver privilege speeches on various issues and concerns relating to women.

“Anchored on this year’s theme ‘We Make Change Work for Women’, the celebration of Women’s Month highlights the empowerment of women from various generations and sectors as active contributors to our country’s development”,  Deputy Speaker Arenas says.

She adds that  the celebration “reminds us all to support and join the call to advance the rights of women and gender equality and end all forms of discrimination against women.”

The annual All-Women Session is jointly organized by the AWLFI and the House Committee on Women and Gender Equality chaired by Rep. Acosta-Alba.
