CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga, Aug 26, 2012-Three lady mayors from Central Luzon are now officers of the Lady Municipal Mayors Association of the Philippines (LMMAP).
The LMMAP is headed by its president, San Luis, Aurora Mayor Annabelle Tangson. The executive vice president is Mayor Lorna Silverio of San Rafael, Bulacan. Mayor Gene Malibiran-Dela Fuente of Samal, Bataan is the Deputy Secretary General.
Tangson said the LMMAP signed a memorandum of agreement with the Commission on Human Rights (CHR) for the conduct of a series of trainings on Human Rights for lady mayors.
After undergoing these seminars, these mayors will establish human rights action centers or human rights desks in their respective towns.
The centers will respond to violations brought before them by the more vulnerable sectors such as women, children, the disabled, the elderly and the poor.
These action centers will also conduct information and education campaigns in the barangays to ensure that the residents are aware of their rights.
The human rights seminars will also be held in September. (Rebecca Grace David)
