IN CELEBRATION of the National Women's Month this March, the Department of Education (DepEd)-Central Luzon launched the Search for Ulirang Ina, Ulirang Asawa, Ulirang Maybahay, Ulirang Lingkod ng Lipunan, and Ulirang Tagapagtanggol ng Karapatan ng mga Kababaihan.
The activity, which aims to recognize women employees who play a significant role in the life of their own families, wives to their spouses, co-workers, immediate community and society in general, is an advocacy campaign aimed at advancing gender equality and women's empowerment (Gewe) in the DepEd-Central Luzon.
The DepEd-Central Luzon Gender Focal Point System (GFPS), through the Human Resource Development Division, seeks to acknowledge these exemplary employees and empowered women who confidently and meaningfully contribute to the organizational and/or community development and aptly respond to the needs of the society.
The search process includes a nomination phase where functional division chiefs and unit heads can nominate qualified employees who are active in the service, with exceptional work performance and impeccable values, and is a role model for colleagues and family.
