In his keynote address, Consul General Senen T. Mangalile highlighted valuable lessons inspired by Enriqueta de Peralta\u2019s remarkable life. He emphasized three key takeaways: First, the importance of living with purpose; second, that true leadership is rooted in a commitment to serve; and third, that creativity paired with advocacy can be a powerful force for change.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cEnriqueta was, indeed, a woman ahead of her time. She was a woman of courage, intellect, and foresight who stands as a towering figure not just in the annals of Ilocos but in the entire nation. Tonight, we reflect on her story, a story that echoes across generations, inspiring us to remember the strength and resilience of the Filipina spirit,\u201d the Consul General stated.<\/span><\/p>

Select English and Ilocano verses from Enriqueta de Peralta\u2019s poem were recited by her great grandchildren and Ms. Ma. Dulce Valdes Barangan, celebrating the timeless resonance of her words. The reading highlighted how her poetry continues to bridge generations, honoring the beauty and depth of Ilocano heritage and culture.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
