Hello there Babaylans, Filipinas!

The Isabela State University - Roxas Library staff and interns joins the nation in the celebration of National Women's Month during March of every year.
Highlighting shared responsibility, collective leadership, and inclusive action, the 2026 National Women’s Month Celebration (NWMC) continues under the 2023–2028 campaign banner, “WE for Gender Equality and Inclusive Society.” It aligns with the Philippine Development Plan 2023–2028, which aims to restore economic momentum, ensure equal opportunities, and equip Filipinos with skills to participate fully in an innovative and globally competitive economy..
Under the sub-theme, “Lead like the Babaylans, Filipinas!”, the PCW reaffirms that women’s leadership is a fundamental part of Filipino identity—just as in the time of the revered Babaylans, when women held influence and authority equal to men. It highlights the distinctive leadership qualities of Babaylans—women leaders in pre-colonial Philippines whose authority was grounded in wisdom, empathy, mediation, and moral guidance rather than force or hierarchy.
So, what are you waiting for dear students? Visit our PhotoBooth at the New Site Library, Rang-ayan, Isabela and wear that empowering smile.
