The National Irrigation Administration Regional Office No. 3, in participation with NIA R3 Multi-Purpose Cooperative, joined this year’s Celebration for Women’s Month with the theme “We Make Change Work for Women.”
The month-long celebration includes activities that were intended to give service to the female personnel of the Office. One of the activities was the Photo-Liking Contest wherein different sections submitted an entry that depicts Women Empowerment. It was uploaded later on Facebook for the votes of the netizens.
Another activity for the Celebration was the Zumba Dance that was joined by the NIA employees from the Regional Office last March 9, 2020. The participants, wearing their customized Zumba outfit, gracefully danced to the different tunes of modern music. As a reward, the ever-generous Regional Manager Engr. Josephine B. Salazar gave cash amounting to ₱500.00 to each participant and ₱1000.00 to the 14 participants who served as paragon on the Zumba dance.
Before the session ended, a showdown from the 14 graceful dancers was witnessed. Souvenirs coming from the NIA R3 MPC was distributed to all female participants and additional prizes were given to the 10 Best Zumba dancers later on.
Unfortunately, due to the Luzon lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the last part of the celebration which was Film-Showing and Wellness Services was not conducted for the safety of all participants.
Nevertheless, the delightfulness that was gained by all participants especially the female employees from the conducted activities was the most important for this celebration.
