TRANSLATION: Women’s emancipation from the domination of men is a righteous act and the highlight in the history of humankind for the last 200 years. The radiant rays of civilization drove away the heavy shadows that engulfed the people’s beliefs and practices in the olden days. Previously, women were considered as servants of men and seldom encouraged to venture outside the four walls of their homes. Their main purpose is to serve their parents and husbands. Fortunately, these are things of the past. Today, women could move around freely and make decisions for themselves. They are independent; they have the same rights as men and opportunities in various areas of endeavor. In times of war, women nurse the wounded, work in factories, and could be found in the battlefield in the war for independence; in times of peace, they work hard to achieve peace and harmony [in society], and serve as lawyers, doctors, pharmacists, and writers. Through all these, women show that they are worthy to be companions of men, as well as trustworthy wives and loving mothers. ¶ Previously, it is believed that women who were unable to acquire education care more for society because they do not have a strong will nor they care for their own welfare. But things have changed.  Considering the opportunities that have emerged for women, they no longer have to stay in the dark corners of their home. Women must acquire proper education so they could struggle side by side with men for a better life. Women must prepare themselves so they could improve their lives. The best way to achieve this is through education. Learning is key to success; learning is light and ignorance is darkness. Education lights up the road to a better life, while ignorance drowns us in an unfathomable depth.  Men and women are free to choose between light and darkness. Without doubt, women will achieve great success and be equal to men in the future. Women should understand their role in this world and fulfill such roles; in the coming days, they will be walking alongside men and together they will face the issues and problems of society.

TITLE: The Woman’s Duty. TRANSLATION: What are your thoughts about wives? Wives should possess certain qualities like being loving, upright, humble, kind, and understanding of the faults of their husbands. A wife should be compassionate and soft spoken. Gold, honor, and money cannot surpass the value of softness and sweetness shown by a wife to her husband. She should love and care for her husband, and fulfill the duties that heavens bestowed upon her when she was created. She must be a sweet companion to his man who is her partner and happiness. Women who are ambitious and vain will not be good wives. A woman will become famous not because she is a righteous woman, but because she is a wife who silently bears the cross.

TRANSLATION: This article is part of a series of essays on women’s rights. The Philippines is known for its beautiful landscape, lush land, and hot weather; but over and above everything else, Philippines is made famous by its women who are beautiful as the stars, modest as the sky, and soft spoken as the pigeons. The brown-skinned [Filipino] women are the jewels of the ever-sparking Philippine land. However, there will come a day when a woman’s weakness will turn to strength, from her cowardice will come bravery, and from her submissiveness will rise an independent-minded woman who will fight for her right. All these will make her at par with progressive women in major countries of the world. ¶ The plebiscite [on women’s suffrage] scheduled on the 30th of this month of April is a turning point in the history of Filipino women. This is day when we will demonstrate our capability to acquire the right to vote that is offered by the government authorities. It is about time that we, Filipino women, will show the whole world that we are capable of exercising our right [to vote], just as we are able to use body adornments well. That she can efficiently fulfill her duties as a public servant, in the say way that she can expertly put on make-up and lipstick. Simply put, she is a woman who basks in the light of progress and no longer engulfed in the darkness of the previous period. ¶ In order to acquire women suffrage (sufragio femenino) that is offered to us, let us rid ourselves of our laziness and not be negligent [of our duty] by going to the electoral precincts on the 10th and 17th of this month. Let us write our names and return on the 30th of this month to signify our willingness to accept the right to vote. When we leave our homes for the electoral precincts, we should not think that we are doing it because we have been told to do so by others; rather, we should tell ourselves that we are going to acquire a precious piece of jewelry never been worn by women. It will put us at an equal footing with women in other parts of the world. This precious piece of jewelry is none other than our right to vote.

TITLE: Women’s Petition Against an Election Law Passed by Congress. TRANSLATION: Women’s petition against the law, which is related to the election and recently approved by the Philippine Legislature, was brought to the attention of the Governor General. This is their statement: ¶ “…If more than 200,000 women were allowed to participate in the plebiscite, why are women not allowed to participate in the next election? Article 15 of the Tydings-McDuffie Law states that all existing laws should be implemented under the Commonwealth government. Thus, it is clear that the 1933 law that allowed women to participate in the election should still be in effect today. Based on Article 15 of Tydings-McDuffie Law, the National Convention is not empowered to revise this law. Neither is the Philippine Legislature allowed to amend it, as stated in paragraph 2, Article XV of the Constitution.” ¶ “We are ready,” the National Federation of Women’s Clubs declared, “to file a lawsuit, if necessary.” This petition was signed, on behalf of the National Federation of Women’s Clubs, by Mrs. Pilar H. Lim (president), Mrs. Sofia R. de Veyra (vice president), Josefa Ll. Escoda (secretary), Geronima T. Pecson (treasurer), Mrs. Bessie Dwyer, Mrs. Natividad A. Lopez, Mrs. Rosario Ocampo, Mrs. Alicia Quirino and Mrs. Laura Shuman. ¶ The following signatories support the protest lodged by the National Federation of Women’s Clubs, arguing that the Tydings-McDuffie [Law] is the fundamental law in the Philippines until the inauguration of a new Philippine government and that those who wrote their names as voters should be allowed to vote in the coming election: ¶ Pura V.

DESCRIPTION: The article’s abstract, printed below the author’s name, reads: “If the [Philippine] senate allows women to vote in elections, then the senate would have done nothing more than accord back the rights of half of the eleven million Filipinos.” The article argued that Filipino women in the past were not regarded negatively like the present day. They did not need to get their husbands’ permission to engage in commerce and other activities. Filipino women in the past showed their strength and dignity and were trusted by men, which manifested as the high regard for fairness and righteousness of men in the past. The author asserted that in the past, Filipino women interacted freely in society, like the women of other countries in the East and West. They were well-loved and valued by their parents and the rest of their families. The author used an example by poet Pedro A. Paterno, who articulated that women prior to Spanish colonization were discouraged from marriage so that they could remain with their families. Those women who did marry increased their value and earned the right to name their children. The author discussed why naming was valuable. Parents were regarded in this society through their children: “That is Pedro’s or Maria’s father.” The author drew on another example, Jose Rizal, the Philippines’ national hero. Rizal said that children brought honor to their parents more than parents brought honor to their children. Children’s conduct was measured according to their parents’ teachings, especially those of their mother. Often, mothers were blamed more for children’s misconduct than fathers. Towards the end of the article, the author explained that Filipino women in the past were not only able to freely socialize in society along with men but were also given important religious responsibilities. Filipino women in the past were priestesses much like the Roman Vestals, the Gaelic Druids and the first deacons of the early Christian Church. All these arguments led the author to conclude that Filipino women of the present day were inferior compared to their past counterparts. This was despite whatever improvements that the Western colonizers brought to the country. Ironically, the same Western authority had regarded the Filipino women ancestors as barbaric, when, in fact, they exhibited far more fairness and righteousness than many in the present who simply claimed to be righteous.

DESCRIPTION: This letter was addressed in a masculine manner to the editor of the magazine. The author identified herself as part of “the women from Kulasi.” Although several towns and villages in Panay are named Kulasi or Culasi, this reference was to Kulasi, Antique. The letter conveyed gratitude towards the writers of the magazine, Makinaugalingon, particularly to the writers/contributors who were women of higher status, who were hardworking, and who possessed inherent intelligence. The letter-writer asked these female magazine contributors to share their knowledge with their sisters, especially by writing about proper behavior or conduct for (1) unmarried women, (2) obedient children to their mothers, (3) wives towards their husbands, and (4) mothers towards their children. The author acknowledged that several books had been published on the proper behavior that she identified. However, she argued that these books were not readily accessible to less-educated women because the books were written in either Spanish or English. The author reiterated her thanks to the editor of the magazine, saying that through the articles they published in the local dialect, women who were not well-versed in Spanish had been enlightened. She likened such enlightenment to being directly under the rays of the sun, largely due to the “rising of the moon that is Makinaugalingon (the magazine).” She also expressed thanks to her fellow women, who had imparted their knowledge and enjoined them to continue doing so, for the betterment of weak women. She said Makinaugalingon woke them up from deep slumber and provided light to the darkest corners of the province of Antique, where women were not enlightened for the longest time. She reiterated that the magazine would be better off providing more articles on childcare, housekeeping and children’s responsibilities towards their parents. The letter ended with the author apologizing for whatever wrongs she committed in writing the letter but assured the readers that such wrongs were not intentional.

TITLE: Addressed to Women: Women in Present Day, Part I, 18th letter. DESCRIPTION: This letter was part of the series, Women in Present Day: Felicia’s Letters to Julia. Translated into Ilonggo by the Makinaugalingon newspaper, these letters were featured from November 1923 to November 1924. Consisting of eighteen letters between Julia, a young orphan, and her surrogate mother Felicia, this series covered a variety of subjects from the choice of a marriage partner to the ways of dealing with one’s servants. Felicia began this letter by blaming Julia’s immaturity as the cause for her telling on the “faults” of her fiancé, Eugenio. Julia had complained to Felicia that Eugenio left her side for a few hours while he conversed with visitors to Julia’s father’s house. She also complained that he was not as sweet and caring as she had expected. Felicia admonished Julia. First, Felicia asked if Julia wanted a husband who was always by her side, being all sweet and weepy, someone who will take his own life for her sake? Felicia continued that some people were expressive and others were not. Eugenio apparently belonged to the latter. Second, Felicia asked Julia if she expected Eugenio to change his ways because men rarely willingly and happily abandon their set ways. She believed it would be more detrimental if Julia insisted or coerced Eugenio because he would eventually fall out of love, if she insisted on her absurd expectations. Instead, Felicia encouraged Julia to be more gentle, caring and loving to Eugenio. She said if Eugenio only encountered Julia’s fierce nature then he would lose interest in her and may marry her to be true to his word rather than for love. Felicia also said that rarely couples had the same traits, likes and dislikes. She explained that should a couple be too similar to each other, then they would lose interest quickly. Felicia said it was better that couples complement each other. She reminded Julia to ensure that Eugenio would want to stay by her side. She said it would be impossible for a man to not continue to love a woman who loved him fully, respects and honors him.
