This year’s guest speaker is Mrs. Ailene Franzuela Nalazon-Diaz, the Northern Samar Provincial Information Officer.

The said program kicked off with the special entrance of all Juanas (female teachers) together with the guest speaker of San Jose Technical High where they were escorted by all Juans (male teachers) of the school. 

Dr. Jaime A. Cabili, the school principal gave his welcome address to everyone. Likewise, Sir Jann Bennith A. Visaya, Sir Donni Ray I. Anonuevo, and Sir Adrian D. Salazar, the SJTHS Masculados entertained everyone with their dance number.  Also, Mr. Jan Bennith introduced the guest speaker in the said celebration.

Subsequently, Mrs. Ailene Franzuela Nalazon-Diaz, the Provincial Information Officer  is this year’s guest speaker. As a successful media practitioner and a trustworthy public servant, Mrs. Diaz shared her experiences being a woman, a mother, and a wife where she emphasized the role of women in contemporary society. “The purpose of women’s month is not to fight with anyone else but for us, women, to express ourselves”, she explained. 

Juanas of SJTHS were honored by the gentlemen through a surprise token as a way of acknowledging their contribution not only in the school but also in the society as a whole. Moreover, Dr. Jaime surprisingly rendered a song number  to the teachers to show his appreciation to women.
