Kababaihan Partylist: To more diversed and women-centered bills

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
