PSC CELEBRATES NAT'L WOMEN'S MONTH
THE Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) will pay tribute to the achievements and contributions of women in creating social change and development in the country as the agency joins the nationwide celebration of National Women’s Month.
A series of virtual programs will be conducted virtually in the month of March dedicated to women leaders, athletes, coaches, employees and mothers — highlighting their extraordinary roles in society.
“To all women, grandmothers and mothers, you deserve equal rights, equal treatment and equal opportunity. In war, in calamities, in a pandemic, even in sports competitions, women play very important roles,” said PSC Chairman William “Butch” Ramirez.
“Their help shapes us as persons and as a nation. For all the things you do, thank you and I wish you all a happy women’s day,” he added.
PSC has been very active and consistent in its programs for women in sports even during Covid-19 health crisis. In fact, a series of free online seminars have been conducted to push its drive for gender equality and women empowerment.
“This is our holistic approach to reach out to all the women in the country to be active in our leadership programs and encourage them to live a healthier lifestyle,” said PSC oversight

One of the agency’s programs for women is the PSC’s Rise up Shape up (RUSU) — a weekly web series that streams every Saturday on Facebook and Youtube. It features different women experts and personalities aimed to inspire and empower ladies in different fields.
