Strong Women and Men amidst Pandemic
DA-PhilRice joins the celebration of the 2021 National Women’s Month with the theme “We Make Change Work for Women – Juana Laban sa Pandemya: Kaya!”
This year’s observance highlights both the challenges and opportunities for women amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
Let us see how ordinary women of DA-PhilRice do wonders to cope with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic making them worthy to be called “Wonder Women in DA-PhilRice”.
We should also appreciate the efforts of the “Super Men in DA-PhilRice” by giving necessary support to women amidst the pandemic.
