The University expresses its heartfelt gratitude to the ZONTA Club Iloilo City, Inc., led by President Edna Sarmiento and Vice President Mahlie Gapasin, for their generous Silver Sponsorship in support of Mabining Mandirigma — a testament to their unwavering commitment to empowering women and uplifting the voices that culture and the arts so beautifully carry. ZONTA’s support resonates deeply with the very soul of this advocacy, affirming that the fight for women’s dignity, rights, and recognition is one worth championing on every stage. This meaningful partnership also carries a tender tribute to a beloved figure — the late Golden Eagle Tita Ruth Jarantilla, whose passion for service, love for the arts, and dedication to women’s empowerment continue to inspire all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her legacy lives on in every act of generosity, every raised curtain, and every story told in her honor. The University is profoundly moved by ZONTA Club Iloilo City’s solidarity with its Culture and Arts advocacy, and together, we carry forward a mission rooted in grace, strength, and the enduring power of women’s voices.
