International Women's Day poster from 1925

International Women's Day Celebration  in German

The Civil Service Commission initiates celebration of the Women's Month, whichn is actually providing meaning to March 8 which is International Women's Day.
The usual way is for all government agencies tomhave  a tarp put up in front of their offices announcing the celebration of the minth. However the lines arenusually uniformly generic. So here is my suggestion. Let us have specific to the sector announcement per agency, like:

1. DOLE - WELCOME WOMEN WORKERS. March is our month- let us meke it meaningful. Remember March 8 - International Women's Day.

2. BFAR - WELCOME WOMEN FISHERFOLKS. LET'S CELEBRATE MARCH 8 International Women's Day and March as Women's Month!

3. Dept of Agriculture - WELCOME WOMEN FARMERS TO OUR WOMEN'S MONTH' And March 8 International Women's Month!

4. Ph Coconut Authority - MABUHAY KABABAIHAN SA NIYUGAN! Ipagdiwang natin ang buwan ng Kababaihan at Marso 8 - Pandaigdigang Araw ng Kababaihan!

5. DILG - CITY HALLS - MABUHAY ANG KABABAIHAN NG ATING LUNGSOD. Inyo ang araw na ito!

(Come to think of it, women should run the city halls at this time, similar to giving children the chance to run the city during Children's day.)

 “When the men are silent, it is our duty to raise our voices in behalf of our ideals.”
“When the men kill, it is up to us women to fight for the preservation of life.” - Clara Zetkin
Similarly, town and barangay halls should emulate the welcoming tarps of city halls.

The question "why do we celebrate March 8?" should be raised and answered this time. Every Filipina must know the historical background of this day - that Clara Zetkin proposed on March 1910 to the Socialist International the declaration of March 8 to remember and rue the deaths of wonen workers at a New York garments factory who got burned and died during a fire at broke init. They died because the owner locked them in (they were stay in) so as to prevnt theft of garments.

6. Embassies: The Women of Finland, of UK, of USA, of MALAYSIA! of JAPAN, and all other embassies could have on their offices - windows or doors, the announcement that the Women of their Ciuntries are congratulating all Filipino Women on this month and day of March 8- International Women's Day"

7. NEDA - Welcome all Women Economists....!

8. Dept of Finance- Welcome all Women Bankers and Financiers....

9. DOJ - Welcome all Women Lawyers.....!

10. DEP-ED - Welcome all Women Teachers and Professors....!

11. Churches of all Religions - Welcome Our Faithful Women of ...(this church) in celebrating our women's month and March 8 International Women's Day!

12. DoTR  and DOTC Welcome All Women Drivers and Conductors...!

ATING IPAGDIWANG NG BUONG LIGAYA ANG ARAW AT BUWAN NG KABABAIHAN!
