The search is on for Cebu’s outstanding female lawmakers in the city and municipality categories.
The Lady Local Legislators League (4L) – Cebu Chapter, with the Department of Interior and Local Government Cebu, is set to honor the province’s top-performing female lawmakers in an event to be held at the Capitol Social Hall on November 26.
The Outstanding Lady Local Legislator Award is the first award of its kind in the entire country, said Mandaue City Vice Mayor Nerissa S. Ruiz, who also serves as president of 4L Cebu Chapter.
The award aims to recognize female lawmakers who have shown exceptional dedication and achievements in a field that is historically dominated by men.
Vice Mayor Ruiz personally invited Gov. Gwen Garcia to the ceremony, believing that the Governor’s presence would further inspire Cebu’s local female lawmakers to pursue transformative public service through local legislation.
Gov. Garcia is also expected to deliver a keynote address in the event. As a token of appreciation for 4L Cebu’s participation in the Capitol’s Caravan of Government Services, the Capitol will also allocate prizes for the awardees. | BJR
