3-Day GFPS Workshop on Gender Mainstreaming

The 3-Day Gender and Development Focal Point System (GFPS) Workshop on Gender Mainstreaming, held on August 18–20, 2026 at the Penthouse Auditorium, Iloilo City Hall, has successfully come to a meaningful close.

For three days, participants strengthened their knowledge and skills on gender mainstreaming, GAD planning and budgeting, and the HGDG Tool, further enhancing their capacity to promote gender-responsive programs, projects, policies, and services.

Our heartfelt appreciation goes to the Iloilo City Gender and Development (GAD) Office, led by Ms. Jsrah P. Malones, Iloilo City GAD Focal Person, for organizing this meaningful capacity-building activity and for her continued leadership in advancing gender mainstreaming in the City Government of Iloilo.

We also extend our sincere gratitude to Hon. Raisa Trenas for her full support and commitment to the City’s Gender and Development initiatives, and for continuously supporting efforts that promote gender equality, inclusivity, and responsive governance in Iloilo City.

We likewise extend our sincere gratitude to our resource speakers from the Iloilo Provincial Capitol and Provincial Technical Working Group (TWG) for generously sharing their expertise, experiences, and valuable insights:

Mr. Jayrel Encontro – Community Affairs Officer II, PIAO; Provincial TWG Chairperson
Ms. Mariel Fleur Loredo – Development Management Officer II, OPPDC-GAD Unit; Provincial TWG Secretariat
Mr. Jay Eric Suganob – Planning Officer II, OPSWDO; Provincial TWG Member

More than a three-day workshop, this was a three-day journey of learning, collaboration, and commitment toward advancing gender equality and inclusive governance.

May the knowledge and skills gained from this workshop inspire us to strengthen our GFPS and translate gender mainstreaming into meaningful, responsive, and inclusive actions for our communities.

Together, let us continue to mainstream gender, strengthen our commitment, and build a more inclusive, equitable, and gender-responsive Iloilo City.

Iloilo City Gender and Development (GAD) Office Joins KABALAKA EXPO 2026

The Iloilo City Gender and Development Office, together with the TALATAPAN Child Development Center, proudly participated in KABALAKA EXPO 2026, showcasing initiatives that promote disaster preparedness, child safety, resilience, and community empowerment.

One of our featured best practices was the Trash to Cash Project, an initiative that encourages environmental stewardship, proper waste segregation, recycling, and resource generation while fostering responsibility among children, parents, and the community.

Visitors also enjoyed our interactive exhibit featuring earthquake preparedness demonstrations, educational displays, and engaging learning activities that highlighted the importance of disaster risk reduction and climate resilience. Through these meaningful initiatives, we continue to empower children and families with knowledge and practical skills to build safer, more resilient, and gender-responsive communities.

Together, let us continue creating communities where preparedness, sustainability, inclusivity, and resilience become everyone’s responsibility.
