As the country commemorates the National Women’s Month this March, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office vowed to continue its support for programs that cater to the welfare of women.
“Makakaasa po kayo na patuloy na susuportahan ng PCSO ang mga programa para sa kapakanan ng kababaihan. Kaugnay nito, patuloy rin nating pinag-aaralan kung ano ba ang magagawa pa para makapag-ambag sa pagsisikap para sa mas inklusibong lipunan,” PCSO Chairman Junie E. Cua said.
Cua added that the PCSO will also be holding activities to celebrate women for the whole month.
A new recurring theme was launched for this year’s National Women’s Month, which will run until 2028: WE for gender equality and inclusive society.
Cua noted that the PCSO has been advancing this theme in the past, with programs that aim to make women, especially those who are victims of abuse, to reintegrate into society through empowerment efforts such as livelihood training and counseling.
This was done primarily through the agency’s Institutional Partnership Program (IPP), which assists and supports various welfare agencies and charitable medical facilities nationwide, said Cua.
He also said that the PCSO helped 62 various institutions with a total amount of P28.3 million.
The chairman also said that the PCSO is studying ways to cater to the needs of women and children who are affected by calamities through the aid it extends as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility program.

“Pinag-aaralan po namin kung paano magiging mas responsive sa pangangailangan ng mga kababaihan at mga bata ang mga relief packs at iba pang ayuda na binibigay natin sa mga apektado ng kalamidad,” said Cua.
“Sinusuportahan po ng Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., ang mga paraan para mapabuti ang kalagayan ng ating mga kababayan. We will continue to do just that,” he also said.
Cua added that the PCSO will also be holding activities to celebrate women for the whole month.
