I wanted to thank Filipina Images, WikiPilipinas, Filipina.Net, Vibal Publishing, National Comission for the Role of Women and UP Center for Women’s Study for awarding me the third prize for my entry “The Cyber Feminization of Poverty : Mail Order Brides and the Image of the Filipina“

I was not able to attend the event though because I was in my Master’s thesis defense. The event was held at SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia which was entitled Women Can’t Wait. The event was done in relation with the celebration of World’s Women’s Month.

Congratulations to all those who won and those who participated in the event.  This is truly an endeavor that can significantly contribute in terms of celebrating and empowering the Filipina.
