Message from the Director, Institute for Culture and the Arts, Madame Marivic Quiambao Pascual

As we celebrate National Women’s Month and International Women’s Day, we honor the enduring spirit, creativity, and leadership of women who shape our culture, arts, and communities.

Like the Babaylans of our heritage, women continue to guide society with wisdom, courage, and compassion. Through culture and the arts, we tell powerful stories, preserve identity, and ignite transformation.

Let this celebration remind us that every woman’s voice, vision, and artistry matter. When women create, communities flourish; when women lead, cultures thrive; and when women rise, nations remember their soul.

Today, we also pay tribute to our culture and arts patron and icon, the great “Lola Panching”, Esperanza Abellera Sabulao, whose life and legacy continue to illuminate our path with grace, generosity, and unwavering love for culture and community.

May every woman who creates, preserves, and uplifts culture remind us that the true strength of a nation lives in the hands, hearts, and stories of its women, guiding us to honor our heritage, empower our communities, and inspire generations yet to come.
