Started the year giving "Surviving Trauma and Abuse" talk to a group of moms, a topic that is very close to my heart. And I'm so grateful that I will end the year giving the same talk to the Women and Children Protection Unit.

It has been a very fulfilling year to me, and pushed my boundaries by constantly telling my abuse story to reach out and encourage people to heal and stop the cycle of pain.

Was it easy? It never was. I always get emotional whenever I share my pain and the process that I went through. But I'm always grateful whenever I get a chance to talk about this topic, because I know someone might desperately need to hear it.

The way I would have desperately need to hear it during the darkest and the most painful days of my life.

I'm thankful as well for all the people who trusted me with their pain, I will be forever grateful for the healing journey that we've shared. Some had found enlightenment, some still drowning in their pain. Yet I'm very hopeful that someday they will find peace in their hearts.

Always remember not to let your past, pain, and mistakes define you. You are worthy, you are deserving, and you are definitely more than enough.

Keep healing, keep inspiring.

Thank you very much MSWDO-San Miguel, Iloilo for supporting the 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women (VAW)! Let us all pursue a VAW-free community where all people are comfortable to walk on the streets, where they are treated with utmost respect in cyberspace, and where our work, learning, and leisure environments do not tolerate any form of violence or sexual harassment. Dahil ang Pilipino ay marespeto kaya sa !

Today, the Philippine Commission on Women observes the National Consciousness Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC). Our office goes orange as we lead the Advocacy Initiative, now on its 7th season! As an optimistic color, orange represents hope and a brighter future free from violence against women and girls. It is also the color chosen by the UN Secretary General for the UNiTE to End VAW Campaign.
