Greetings from CHED NCR Family

With deep sorrow, we share that Atty. Lily Freida Milla, Director of the International Affairs Service (IAS) of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED), has peacefully joined our Creator today.

Atty. Milla was a devoted public servant whose work profoundly shaped the internationalization of Philippine higher education. Beyond her professional accomplishments, she was known for her humility, warmth, and genuine care for the people she worked with. She touched many lives as a leader, mentor, and colleague, and her dedication to service will be remembered with gratitude and respect.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, loved ones, friends, and colleagues in the higher education community. As we grieve this great loss, we also give thanks for a life lived with integrity, compassion, and purpose.

𝑷𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒔, 𝒘𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒏 𝒂 𝒋𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚!

Our dream destination is a VAW-free Philippines—and the steps we take today will determine the future we build for generations to come. As the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) leads the national 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women, we call on every Filipino to move from awareness to action, from advocacy to activism, and from watchers to warriors.

CHED NCR stands with the nation in upholding our shared responsibility to ensure that every woman and girl lives free from fear, abuse, and violence.

A VAW-free Philippines gives us clear signals for action:
𝗦𝗧𝗢𝗣 violence against women. Women’s rights are human rights.
𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 beyond silence. Do not judge a story you do not fully know.
𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗡 with compassion.

Stand with victim-survivors by upholding their right to safety, dignity, and justice. Ending VAW is a collective mission. Let us rise as one, stand UNiTEd, and build a VAW-free Philippines!

For information 😊
