About Us
The Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) through the Gender and Development program has been an advocate of women’s empowerment and gender equality. Since 2014, SBMA has continued to organize events that will raise awareness in this advocacy as well as the anti-violence against women and their children.
November of 2014 saw the first-ever Women’s Summit in the Freeport where women of all walks of life gather together to celebrate and acknowledge that women are a driving force in the economic vitality of the country.
As the SBMA GAD Focal Point System continued to uphold Gender Equality, in 2017 the first-ever LGBTQIA+ PRIDE March was held. An event celebrating the diversity and acceptance of everyone.
Every year, the GAD Focal Point System continues to put forth a more diversified Gender and Development Program that will empower women and everyone who believes that everybody is regarded with respect and acceptance.
