In celebration of the National Women's Month, the Z-Club marked National Womenโs Month with an advocacy-driven forum themed โLead like the Babaylans, Filipinas,โ urging students to reexamine traditional notions of leadership and womenโs roles in society.During the session, speakers challenged the familiar idea of women simply asking for a โseat at the table,โ emphasizing instead that women have historically been the architects of many of these spaces.
Resource speakers Dr. Kristinne Joyce A. Lara, DPA and Atty. Cecilia Lazaro motivated students with powerful talks on leadership and womenโs rights. By invoking the legacy of the babaylan, they challenged modern Filipinas to continue leading and reshaping society. The event aimed to remind the youth of womenโs enduring contribution to building a more just and equal society, and to inspire students to continue that legacy in their own communities.
