𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧'𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐲, 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞

As the nation observes National Women’s Month under the theme “Lead like the Babaylans, Filipinas!”, the call is both symbolic and urgent. In pre-colonial Philippine society, babaylans were women of authority: leaders, healers, and voices of wisdom within their communities. Their legacy reminds us that women were never meant to be silent or subordinate. Yet today, some of the very men seated in Congress continue to reduce women to objects of commentary, exposing a troubling disconnect between the ideals we celebrate and the realities within our institutions.

Shame on you, Senator Jinggoy Estrada, Quezon City Representative B**g Suntay and Attorney Ferdinand Topacio.

This reduction is neither harmless nor accidental. It is rooted in a long history of objectification that teaches society to see women not as individuals with agency, but as bodies to admire, judge, and possess. In media, entertainment, and even everyday conversations, women are too often framed through the lens of the “male gaze”, valued primarily for how they appear rather than who they are. When such words are spoken in the halls where national policy is debated, they send a message far beyond the chamber, that the dignity of women remains negotiable. This is not only embarrassing for public office; it is an insult to the Filipinas whose lives are shaped by the laws of these officials' craft.

For far too long, women have been told to remain submissive. To laugh off degrading remarks. To keep quiet in rooms where men dominate the conversation. To endure indignity in the name of professionalism or civility.

Those expectations no longer hold power.

Filipinas today are lawyers arguing in courtrooms, journalists holding power to account, workers sustaining entire communities, and lawmakers shaping national policy. They are not spectators in democracy; they are architects of it.

The call to lead like the babaylans is not merely ceremonial, it is a reminder that women have always had the right to speak, challenge, and hold power accountable. If Women’s Month is to mean anything, then it must demand more from those who govern. Respect for women should not be a slogan reserved for March, it must live in the everyday language we use, the spaces we occupy, and the values we choose to uphold.

And while public outrage may rally around figures like Anne Curtis, Elizabeth Means or Ivana Alawi, the truth is far broader: it is not only these women who deserve respect, but every Juana whose dignity is too often dismissed in everyday discourse.

𝑺𝒆𝒏. 𝑯𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒔 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒔 𝑫𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒖𝒆 𝒐𝒏 𝑾𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏’𝒔 𝑹𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑳𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒍 𝑹𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎

In observance of National Women’s Month, the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, in partnership with PUP College of Law, Ina ng Bayan sa Sais, Tara Kabataan, Akbayan Youth and The Sanctuary Network, held a forum entitled “𝙈𝙜𝙖 𝘽𝙖𝙩𝙖𝙨 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖 𝙨𝙖 𝙆𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙞𝙝𝙖𝙣: 𝙏𝙖𝙜𝙪𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙮, 𝙃𝙖𝙢𝙤𝙣, 𝙖𝙩 𝙎𝙪𝙨𝙪𝙣𝙤𝙙 𝙣𝙖 𝙇𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙣” on March 5 from 9:00 AM to 12:00 NN.

The forum featured Senator Risa Hontiveros as keynote speaker, alongside Congresswoman Sandy Ocampo, who also delivered a message of solidarity and policy insight. Both speakers underscored the continuing need for responsive and gender-sensitive legislation to address systemic inequalities faced by Filipino women.

Senator Hontiveros presented a discussion of legislative measures advancing women’s rights while emphasizing the structural barriers that persist despite existing legal frameworks and challenged enduring gender stereotypes that continue to shape social expectations. She stated that the notion that “𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙥𝙖𝙜-𝙖𝙖𝙡𝙖𝙜𝙖 𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙖𝙜𝙝𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙠 𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙖𝙝𝙖𝙮 𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙝𝙤 𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙖𝙗𝙖𝙚” must be put to an end, stressing that domestic responsibilities should not be imposed solely on women. According to her, household management are shared responsibilities that must be equitably distributed to achieve genuine gender equality.

The forum provided a platform for critical engagement among students and partner organizations, examining the progress of women-focused policies, identifying gaps in enforcement, and discussing emerging legal challenges affecting women across sectors.

As the program concluded, organizers reaffirmed their commitment to advancing transformative legal reform and encouraging active participation from the youth in legislative advocacy. The event served not only as a commemoration of Women’s Month but also as a renewed call to action in the continuing pursuit of substantive equality.

𝐄𝐃𝐒𝐀 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞

As we mark the 40th anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution, we remember how our forefathers once fought and stood united along Epifanio de los Santos Avenue to reclaim democracy from the authoritarian rule under the dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr.

Today, that same spirit of fortitude and vigilance is being tested. No holiday. No commemoration. A mere footnote instead of a historical turning point. The failure to declare and honor it, despite its clear historical standing, is not mere oversight. It is erasure. Forty years later, the peaceful revolution is buried in silence.

And what fills the silence?

Communities still drowning in floodwaters while billions in flood control funds are questioned, washed away in a tide of greed and negligence. Months after the current president’s exposé, the news vanishes into the murky waters of corruption and incompetence.

And today, the nation watches the proceedings of the former President Duterte over his brutal drug war that left thousands dead. As Atty. Joel Butuyan warned in his opening statement, the danger is not only in one man, but in the rise of “mini-Dutertes”, officials who mimic the language of violence and treat public office as a shield against accountability. They are the heirs of impunity, emboldened by silence.

They thrive when memory fades. They prosper when history is softened. They grow bolder when EDSA is treated as inconvenient.

EDSA was never meant to be a relic, reduced to hashtags and ceremonies. It was a promise that power belongs to the people, that public office is a public trust, and that no leader, no matter how popular or feared, is beyond the reach of justice. EDSA is not just a date. It is a warning.

And if we allow it to be buried, we may soon find ourselves fighting for it all over again.

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 | A Call To Serve

From the pensive and quiet streets of Masbate City, 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐲. 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐬 began her journey, one that would eventually lead her to become a lawyer. Her journey was a path marked by personal challenges, deep faith, and relentless determination.

Raised in a household where both of her parents worked abroad as Overseas Filipino Workers, she and her siblings experienced a childhood without the constant presence of their parents. The early years of their lives were characterized by frequent moves, staying with different relatives, and adjusting to an unstable home life. Despite these difficulties, stability came when they were taken in by their maternal grandparents, a shift that brought much-needed security to their lives.

As a young girl, she found solace in reading the Bible, particularly the stories about justice. “I was trying to understand how the world works,” she reflects. “That’s when my principles slowly began to form.”

Her desire to pursue law was not merely a professional choice; it was a calling rooted deeply in her reflections on justice and fairness. Initially, she believed her motivation stemmed from the struggles her family faced. However, over time, she realized that the foundation for her ambition lay much deeper. It wasn’t just about overcoming hardship; it was about a lifelong commitment to ensuring that justice and accountability prevailed, especially for those who, like her family, had suffered due to circumstances beyond their control.

The years at PUP Law were a true test of discipline and perseverance. Law school was demanding, to wit, daily recitations, rigorous exams, and seemingly endless readings. But beyond the academic grind, PUP Law instilled in Christia a deep sense of responsibility to others. It was not just about self-achievement; it was about using the law to uplift those who did not have the same opportunities she had. Her experiences at PUP, alongside the support of her family, peers, professor, and mentors, helped her stay grounded and motivated throughout the long and arduous journey of law school.

Through all the trials, one thing remained clear to her: she was never going to give up. While many law students entertain doubts, questioning their capacity or contemplating quitting, she knew from the start that she was destined to become a lawyer. “It’s a matter of when, not if,” she often told herself. Her determination was unwavering, shaped by the lessons her grandparents taught her, lessons of hard work, preparation, and persistence.

When it came time for the Bar review, she encountered yet another challenge. The review period was grueling, often pushing her to her mental and emotional limits. But as she had done before, she leaned on her faith and her preparation. “I reminded myself that I did my part in those five years of law school,” she says. “I had faith that it would not fail me. And of course, I entrusted everything to the Lord.”

She found moments of relief in her hobbies, watching television shows, and spending time with family and friends. Whenever self-doubt crept in, she turned to prayer.

The Bar exam itself, a monumental challenge for any law student, was an experience she took in stride. She approached it not with fear, but with quiet confidence. In the end, it paid off. She passed the Bar, achieving her dream and fulfilling her calling to serve as a lawyer.

Her success in the Bar exam was not just a personal victory but a testament to the power of perseverance, faith, and community. For her, this achievement was not hers alone; it was shared with those who had believed in her and supported her through the years.

From her early years in Masbate to the moment she stood as a new lawyer of the Republic, Atty. Christia Marie Cortes’ journey is a testament to what is possible when faith meets purpose. It is a story of resilience, of facing adversity head-on and using it as fuel to achieve greatness.

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 | The Making of a Lawyer

The decision to take the Bar is often spoken of as an ending, the final hurdle of a long and grueling race. But for 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝘆. 𝗟𝗲𝗮 𝗥𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗢𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘁𝗮, it was also a beginning: the culmination of years spent learning how to endure, how to believe, and how to keep moving forward despite uncertainty. Hers is not a story shaped by privilege or pedigree, but by quiet persistence and an openness to follow where purpose led.

A first-generation lawyer, she entered the legal profession without the comfort of familiarity or expectation. Law was never a childhood dream, nor a path charted early on. It only came into view later, when her work as a court stenographer at a Regional Trial Court allowed her to witness the law at work, not as theory, but as a force that could protect, transform, and give voice to those who needed it most. It was there that a presiding judge encouraged her to “just try” law school, affirming a potential she herself was still learning to trust. From that moment on, her goal became clear: to learn deeply, endure faithfully, and prepare herself for the Bar.

Her years at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines College of Law taught her to think long-term. Law school, she learned, is a marathon, not a sprint. There were moments when the trail nearly broke her resolve. The most difficult stretch came during her second year, when classes ran from Monday to Sunday, CLEP certification hours had to be completed in a matter of weeks, and professional work continued alongside academic demands. Exhaustion was constant. Yet she held on to a mindset shaped by her love for hiking: when you are deep in the trail, there is no way out but through. Progress, no matter how slow, was still progress.

The greatest challenge during review was balance. Determined to make the experience meaningful rather than purely punishing, she chose to care for herself deliberately. She made room for exercise, proper meals, time with loved ones, and moments of joy, believing that discipline did not require self-destruction. Pressure and burnout were managed through kindness, especially toward herself. When readings piled up, she reminded herself that falling behind did not mean failure. Rest, she believed, was part of consistency.

Self-doubt, however, lingered quietly in solitude. To confront it, she turned to prayer and to ritual. In a small notebook, she poured her fears onto the last pages, releasing them. At the front, she wrote words of encouragement, anchors she could return to when uncertainty grew loud.

At PUP College of Law, students were raised to believe that staying close to God meant staying close to their dreams, and that passing the Bar was never impossible, only a matter of time. She held fast to this belief, guided by the verse: faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

To current PUP law students preparing for the Bar, her advice is to trust what has already worked, remembering that Bar preparation begins on the first day of law school, not during review season. She reminds them that reaching the final stretch is proof of their capability and that self-care, focus, and belief in oneself are just as essential as discipline in finishing the journey.

Looking ahead, she hopes to become a lawyer who is competent, ethical, and deeply empathetic, one who uses the law not as a weapon, but as a tool for justice. She envisions a practice rooted in trust, especially for those who have less in life. Giving back is part of that calling: mentoring PUP law students, supporting review initiatives, and engaging in legal aid and public-interest work.

In the end, her journey affirms a quiet but powerful truth: becoming a lawyer is not only about mastering the law, but about becoming someone worthy of the responsibility it carries. For her, the Bar was never just a test of knowledge, but a testament to faith, endurance, and purpose. As she steps into the profession, she carries with her the belief that the law is a privilege meant to be shared and that the true measure of a lawyer is found not in titles earned, but in lives served and justice pursued.

𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 | Beyond the Bar

For some, the decision to study law begins with ambition. For 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝘆. 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗮𝘇𝗮𝗿, it began with a childhood realization.

Long before case digests, recitations, and sleepless nights, she already knew why she wanted to become a lawyer. In high school, she became aware, perhaps too early, that not all children grew up in homes that were safe, nurturing, or fair. That awareness settled deep and stayed with her. From that point on, the law was no longer an abstract profession; it became a means to make the world a safer place for children. And so, she did what she had promised herself she would do: she kept her eyes on the prize.

Law school, of course, has a way of tempering idealism. Along the way, she admits realizing just how idealistic her dream was. Yet even as reality reshaped her expectations, it did not extinguish them. While her advocacy may be on hold as she explores a different path for now, she holds firmly to the belief that everything she learns, inside or outside the courtroom, will eventually help her build a better world. Timing, she has learned, does not diminish purpose.

Her time at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines - College of Law shaped her not only as a student but as a person, exposing her to classmates from diverse and often challenging backgrounds whose grit and perseverance deeply inspired her. Seeing working students excel despite carrying heavier burdens pushed her to hold herself to a higher standard, adopting discipline and excellence as personal principles she carried through the Bar journey. Grounded by a clear sense of purpose, she never seriously considered giving up during law school, quitting was simply never an option.

The Bar review, however, was a different beast altogether. If she had to describe the experience in one word, it would be “anxiety-inducing.” The pressure did not come from a lack of preparation, but from the overwhelming breadth of what needed to be studied. With only twenty questions per subject, doubt crept in constantly: Am I studying the right topics? Am I focusing on what truly matters?

To manage pressure and burnout, she leaned into rest, intentionally and without guilt. Sundays were sacred, reserved for family, friends, and the simple act of resetting. Those pauses, she says, were not indulgences; they were necessities.

PUP’s culture of excellence quietly guided her through the Bar journey. Professors demanded rigor, not for cruelty’s sake, but to push students toward their best versions. That environment taught her how to study smarter, not harder, a lesson that became invaluable during review season. Excellence, as she learned, was a habit long formed, not a skill developed overnight.

Her advice to current PUP law students preparing for the Bar is grounded and reassuring: “𝙆𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙨. 𝘿𝙤 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢 𝙩𝙤 𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚’𝙨 𝙨𝙩𝙪𝙙𝙮 𝙝𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙨. 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙖𝙬 𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙨. 𝙎𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝙞𝙩. 𝙎𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙤𝙤𝙠𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬. 𝙍𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙪𝙩𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙭𝙞𝙚𝙩𝙮” “𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙙𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪,” she says.

Surviving law school without losing oneself, she admits, is easier said than done. Law school consumed much of her life, yet she still encourages students to build identities beyond recitations and grades. Join organizations. Make friends. Compete. Enjoy the process. Law school, she insists, should not be the sum total of who you are.

Looking ahead, she hopes to become the kind of lawyer she once dreamed of being, the kind who makes the world safer for children to grow into who they are meant to be. She envisions a future where she can give back to PUP not only through service, but through teaching. After gaining experience in practice, she dreams of returning to the classroom to help shape the next generation of lawyers. Policy work, especially in education and children’s rights, also remains close to her heart.

For her, the law has never been just about passing an exam. It has always been about the world she hopes to help build and the children she hopes will one day be safer in it.

As law students, one of the first lessons ingrained into us is the importance of reading. We are taught to dive into codals, jurisprudence, and commentaries written by legal luminaries. By now, we have learned how to swallow provisions, regurgitate cases, then spit out doctrines penned by justices. However, as we build ourselves with books, sometimes we forget that the law is not just words printed on pages. The law is lived. It affects real people with real struggles and real stories. And as such, studying law should not be limited to the academic ivory tower we built whose only duty is to be read; it must also involve engaging with social realities.

Senator Erwin Tulfo previously remarked that sometimes, "the law must be bent," because it should follow the people, not the other way around. While the statement may raise eyebrows within the legal circles and the critics alike, there is some truth in this. The law is a social construct. They are tools created by the people, for the people. When the tools begin more harm than they help, it is not the people who must adjust. The law should not be used to chain people to outdated systems, but to uplift and protect them as society progresses.

The reality is that the law does not exist in a vacuum. It exists in society, shaped by its values and by the people. If the law does not evolve alongside the people it serves, it becomes a tool of oppression rather than a mechanism of justice. As students of the law, it is our duty to question not only what the law is, but who it serves and who it fails. It is easy for us to claim that we study to avoid injustice, the poor, however, live with it.

Let’s be clear: I am not a lawyer. I am just another working law student. I am tired, underpaid, overworked, overread, and all the other adjectives that can be prefixed and describe how it is to live and study in a world that feels more of a cage instead of a calling. I am just another victim who is continuously suffering from a system that pretends to be blind but somehow always sees the poor. Maybe this is a rant, maybe not. All I know is that I do not wish to be a part of the system that continues to chain itself in the never-ending cycle of oppression and violence. Maybe this is a call to action.

Maybe the law should not only be studied. Maybe it needs to be challenged and questioned in order to meet the demands of our time. Well, what do I know?

What I do know is that the law should serve justice and not just power, then we must speak out. We must act. We must walk out.
