LUMINA Advisers speak during “Bongga Ka Dai: Stories of Women” during the National Women’s Month Celebration by the Cebu Provincial Government through the Cebu Provincial Youth Development Office.

Atty. Karina Cabahug Kvp Cabahug shared her powerful journey in “Her Journey for Justice: A Woman Lawyer’s Journey,” a story of perseverance, purpose, and rising beyond setbacks. Meanwhile, Atty.Charlene Dasig delivered a compelling primer on the Anti-VAWC Law and the Safe Spaces Act, equipping women with the knowledge to protect their rights and assert their dignity.

More than stories, these were calls to action—reminding every woman that her voice matters, her rights are protected, and her strength is transformative.

LUMINA officers also facilitated consultations with the IBP Cebu City Chapter, extending legal awareness and support directly to the community.

LUMINA is honored to have been presented with a Plaque of Appreciation from the Cebu Provincial Government, a testament to our shared commitment to empowering communities through law, education, and advocacy.

At LUMINA, we do not just advocate—we act, we serve, and we empower.

This is what LUMINA stands for.

THE LAW PUNISHES WHAT CULTURE EXCUSES.

Women of every class or background are vulnerable to systemic discrimination. Worse, society has often diminished this harm by excusing the behavior, tolerating it, and even condoning the objectification and violence that women are subjected to. In 2021 alone, 8400 cases of violence against women were reported in the country. One in every four wives have experienced physical, sexual, or emotional violence from their partner. Every Filipina has a story about personal harassment.

Violence and harassment thrives when it is excused away by a predatory culture, but the law stands firm — violence against women and harassment against all persons are criminal and punishable under the law. The Anti-VAWC Act and Safe Spaces Act protect women from violence and sexual harassment, but you need to know your rights before you can use them.

30/03/2026

Across different backgrounds and experiences, one thing remains constant: the courage to keep going.

These women remind us that strength is found in showing up, in choosing excellence despite doubt, and in creating space where there was none before. Their stories are not just personal victories; they are part of a greater movement.

At Lumina, we are a community of lawyers, future lawyers, leaders, and changemakers who stand in solidarity with women who challenge norms, claim their space, and shape the future.

Tag a woman who inspires you and celebrates strength in her own way.
