2025 Kick-Off Activity for the 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women (VAW)
Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP)
25 November 2025, 8:00 AM
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) Area Center III formally launched its 2025 observance of the 18-Day Campaign to End Violence Against Women (VAW) through a kick-off activity held on 25 November 2025 at 8:00 AM. The event emphasized CAAPโs commitment to promoting a safe, gender-sensitive, and VAW-free workplace and society.
The program opened with an Opening Prayer followed by the singing of the National Anthem.
A key highlight of the event was the Reading of the Kick-Off Message, delivered by Ms. Milarosa M. Galit, Budget Officer III and Chairperson of the AC3 GAD TWG on Policies, Planning, and Enabling Mechanism. This message underscored the importance of institutional support and collective action in eliminating all forms of violence against women.
Participants then recited the Pledge of Commitment for a VAW-Free Philippines, reaffirming the organizationโs dedication to advocacy and awareness.
"As public servants, we are entrusted not only with the safe and efficient operations of our airports, but also with the responsibility of fostering a workplace and community grounded in respect, dignity, and protection for all. Violence against women, in any form, has no place in a society that aspires for genuine progress. It has no place in CAAP, and it certainly has no place in Area Center III."
This Message of the Civil Aviation Area Manager, Mr. Glenn D. Tripulca, further strengthened the call for continuous engagement and the promotion of gender equality within the aviation community.
