Reinforcing its commitment to womenโs health and well-being, the City of Taguig successfully conducted the โPerimenopause and Menopause Awareness Seminarโ activity today, March 5, at the Taguig Lakeshore Hall.
As part of the Womenโs Month Celebration 2026, around 500 female employees, ages 45 to 59 years old, serving in various City Government of Taguig departments gained vital knowledge about perimenopause and menopause, as well as how to navigate this life season.
During her message, City of Taguig Mayor Lani Cayetano underscored the importance of the seminar and the local government's steadfast commitment to support women.
โAng lungsod ng Taguig ay naninindigan na ang kalusugan ng kababaihan ay mahalagang pundasyon ng isang matatag na komunidad. Sa ating adhikain na maging isang ganap na Transformative, Lively, at Caring City, patuloy nating itinataguyod ang mga programang nagbibigay ng proteksyon, kaalaman, at opportunity para sa kababaihan sa anumang yugto ng kanilang buhay. Ang tunay na pagkakapantay-pantay ay nagsisimula sa pagkilala sa mga natatanging pangangailangan ng bawat isa at pagtiyak na may sapat na suporta ang lahat,โ she said.
Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations, and Gender Equality Chairperson Councilor Ivie Dizon also extended her support during the seminar.
โDahil isinusulong natin ang gender equality at inclusive society, under the leadership of Mayor Lani Cayetano, itong Pamahalaang Lungsod ng Taguig tungkulin patuloy bigyan kayo ng kaalaman, kayo ay masuportahan,โ she said.
The event, organized by the cityโs Gender and Development (GAD) Office in partnership with the Aunteh Time with Karen and Bel podcast, medical professionals, and lifestyle coaches, provided a fresh, expert-driven perspective on perimenopause and menopause. These included medical insights from Dr. Stephanie Supan, who provided an overview of perimenopause and menopause, including common physical and emotional symptoms; Dr. Maria Nerissa Trinidad-Flores highlighted tips for managing skin and hair changes; and Dr. Noel Nathaniel Napa shared vital strategies for bone density and hormonal balance.
Aside from the medical expertise, practical support was also provided by Lifestyle and Wellness Coach Marilen Gonzales Elizalde and founder and CEO of ProAge Coach Claudine Viquiera on nutrition, diet, and movement; and emotional well-being, mindset shifts, and navigating relationships, respectively.
Aligned with the theme โ๐๐ ๐๐ค๐ง ๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ฆ๐ช๐๐ก๐๐ฉ๐ฎ ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ช๐จ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ค๐๐๐๐ฉ๐ฎ," the City Government of Taguig continues to empower every woman and ensure they have the support to thrive.
