A highlight of the kick-off was the historic presentation and reading of the three modern symbolism of the Babaylan by our Division GAD Focal, Mark Lloyd M. Coloma. He eloquently reminded us that the spirit of the Babaylan lives on today.

The kick-off reached its peak with a historic and symbolic Human NWM formation on the SDO grounds with drone shots by SDO ITO Team, Sir Christian Bern Libo-on, Chris Ferndandez, and Joshua Andrew Castrillo.

This visual representation of unity was brought to life with flags prepared through the joint efforts of the GAD FPS and NEU, serving as a reminder that gender equality is a movement we carry forward together.
