ISPSC GAD Advocates Attend the 5th National GFPS Convention

​Five members of the GAD Focal Point System (GFPS) from Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College (ISPSC) recently took part in the 5th National GAD Focal Point System (GFPS) Convention. The three-day event, organized by the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW), was held from September 1-3, 2025, at the Crowne Plaza, Manila Galleria.

​The convention, a triennial gathering for GFPS members from national government agencies (NGAs) and State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) across the country, focused on the theme: "Reaping Gains, Celebrating Milestones, and Strengthening the Roles of GFPS for Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment." The theme reflects the significant progress made in institutionalizing gender-responsive policies and programs, while also emphasizing the ongoing commitment to gender mainstreaming.

​Representing ISPSC were two Campus Directors, Dr. Sheryl S. Morata from the Main Campus and Dr. Annie D. Dorada from Candon Campus. They were joined by the Director of the Center for Gender and Development (CGAD), Ms. Maribel C. Ibañez; the Chief of Gender Mainstreaming and GAD Coordinator of the Main Campus, Dr. Lanie B. Tiu; and the GAD Coordinator of Santiago Campus, Ms. Daphne Sophia L. Abesamis.

​The participation of the ISPSC GFPS members in this national convention underscores the institution's commitment to promoting gender equality and women's empowerment within the academic community and beyond. The event provided a vital platform for them to acquire insights and strategies and collaborate with other gender advocates to further strengthen their roles as key drivers of gender mainstreaming in their respective institutions.
