Kababaihan Partylist: To more diversed and women-centered bills

April 24, 2025



I was invited to a small group discussion about "Kababaihan" Partylist st the Darkroast Coffeehouse in Maginhawa st., Quezon City. 

Being a woman, I got really interested and curious about all this partylist has to offer to us....

Actually, I am also a single parent and the struggles and hardships that I've gone through were very much remarkable and I am not sure if every mother could surpass all kinds of troubles in that situation. We all have different stories, which in a one way or another we could relate to. Proposals and platforms like the "Kababaihan" have, has put me to strongly believe that they should have a fair chance and be a good representative of women empowerment in the lower house. 

Having said about my situation, I firmly concur that, when these following bills could be passed in the Congress, no single parent (and their kids), no women, including the LGBTQIA+ would suffer from life's unfair treatment and very tough challenges. And I am talking about these: 

✅️ TAHANAN NG MGA KABABAIHAN
Night Care Center 
● Night care center-- a place where you can leave your kids for those mothers who work at night
● Welfare place for women who are victims of abuse
● Women's livelihood and training hub
● Legal Counselling Center 

✅️ DIVORCE 
For the peacefulness and safety of women and their family 
● Domestic Violence
● Victims of Men under influence of Drugs, Alcohol and Gambling 
● Infidelity 
● Abandonment 

✅️ Stable living/ livelihood 
● Financial Literacy Program
● Solidarity micro business trading among individuals and/or women organization 

✅️ LGBTQIA+ SAFE SPACE 
● Anti-Discrimination Law 
(Workplace & Community) 

Here are some of the videos of 1st Nominee Kate Coseteng during our said event: 







According to Kate Coseteng, who is currently the City Councilor of the 3rd District in Quezon City and Chairperson, Committee on People with Disabilities, "Ang aking mensahe para sa mga babaeng inabandona…
Sa Pilipinas, kapag iniwan ang isang pamilya, madalas ang babae ang naiwan para buhayin ang mga anak ng walang emosyonal at pinansyal na suporta. Pero hanggang kailan tayo magbubulag-bulagan? 
Hindi dapat habambuhay na sentensiya ang isang sirang relasyon. Ipaglaban natin ang karapatan ng mga babae sa mas maayos at patas na laban." 




⚫️ 128 KABABAIHAN PARTYLIST 💙
Kakampi ng Kababaihan.



1st Nominee Kate Galang-Coseteng
2nd Nominee Ria C. Romualdo

EastWest’s "Further For You" in Action: Spreading Hope and Empowering Dreams Through Young Focus

April 1, 2025


EastWest volunteers share moments of joy and learning with children from Young Focus, embodying the spirit of giving and community through the Cards of Hope initiative.


Manila, Philippines – Beyond banking, EastWest is committed to going further and making a meaningful impact in the communities it serves. This came to life through Cards of Hope, a heartfelt initiative that turned a simple holiday tradition into an opportunity to change lives.
EastWest employees and internal clubs—EastWest Milers, EastWest Click, and EastWest Voices—rallied together to support Young Focus, an organization dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty through education. Instead of traditional holiday decorations, EastWest employees purchased intricately designed ornaments and postcard sets, knowing that every peso would go toward scholarships and essential learning resources for children from Smokey Mountain.

For EastWest, the partnership with Young Focus went beyond financial aid—it created opportunities that equip the next generation with the tools to shape their future. “Education reshapes destinies, creating pathways to a future filled with possibility,” said Martin Reyes, EastWest’s Head of Marketing. “Our support for Young Focus isn’t just about giving—it’s about equipping these children with the means to build a better life.”

A Walk of Dreams: Witnessing Resilience and Hope
EastWest volunteers joined the Walk of Dreams and visited various communities in Tondo to connect with residents and better understand their daily challenges. Experiencing the children’s struggles firsthand gave them a stronger perspective on the impact of their efforts.
“Coming from the visit, it was a lot to take in,” shared one volunteer. “But what struck me most was their tenacity—their unshaken drive to learn, to dream, and to push forward despite the odds. Their determination was both humbling and inspiring.”

The experience deepened the Bank’s belief that real change happens when communities come together—not just through financial aid, but through shared moments of kindness, learning, and connection.

Turning Generosity Into Action
As EastWest celebrates its 30th anniversary, initiatives like Cards of Hope exemplify the Bank’s enduring mission to go Further For You—beyond banking, beyond business, and into the heart of communities in need.
Through this initiative, EastWest employees proved that even the simplest gestures—a card, an ornament, a shared dream—can make a lasting difference. One child, one opportunity, and one future at a time, Cards of Hope is turning generosity into action, ensuring that the next 30 years are just as impactful as the first.
