Bakit BABAYI?

Dahil –

ang BABAYI ay binubuo nating mga ordinaryong kababaihan;

ang BABAYI ay sinusuportahan ng kalalakihang mulat sa mga pagbabagong kailangan ng ating lipunan;

ang inihahain ng BABAYI ay programangt pangkababaihan – at panlipunan; ito ay bunga ng maraming taong pagkilos sa mga problema ng pamayanan;

sa BABAYI, tayo ang bida – hindi mga mayayaman o sikat na pesronalidad na wala namang alam sa tunay nating kalagayan;

kinikilala ng BABAYI ang pangangailangan ng malakas na tinig ng ordinaryong kababaihan sa pamahalaan tungo sa mas makatarungang batas at polisiya;

ANG USAPING PANLIPUNAN AY USAPING PANGKABABAIHAN at ANG USAPIN NG KABABAIHAN AY USAPING PANLIPUNAN!!!
