PRESIDENT’S OUTBOX

W

e make change work for women…and for that matter, men, too. In fact, here at Bicol University, we make change work for the entire Bicol University family. We love our women; as it is from their womb that life began. But we love our men, too; as we are partners of creation and co-stewards of the earth. That is why the Bicol University administration is working so hard to provide the necessary changes that will work for everyone –women, men, and the rest of the Bicol University family. But nothing beats the wit and charm, the multi-tasking abilities, and the strength of a woman. Whether it is in calming a distressed child or listening with full attention and empathy to our stories of triumphs, defeats, frustrations, and the occasional sadness. As a male, leading a womendominated University, I am in awe of the various facets of womanhood and women character that I encounter every single day. I am surrounded by women – and my world is definitely a lot easier, and challenging because of them. In this Month of Women and for Women, I am reminding everyone, men in particular, to look at women beyond what they can or cannot do. Let us take a look at women beyond gender, beyond roles, and beyond the labels that we attribute to them. Let us look at them simply as persons worthy of our highest regard and respect. Only when we look at everyone without attributions of gender or past the labels that society imposes, will we be able to make changes work for everyone, men and women, alike. Happy Women’s Month! May we all be reminded of the various women in our lives who have made changes work for everyone!
