   March 8, 1857, when women from various factories of New York City staged a protest over poor working conditions. The first Women's Day celebration in the United States was in 1909, also in New York City.


   The results of its country-wide recognition and continued growth in state schools, government, and organizations, by 1986, 14 states had gone ahead and dubbed March Women's History Month. A year later, this sparked congress to declare the holiday in perpetuity.

All we can do is prepare for it because nowadays the catastrophes are not expected by anyone. But we have to accept that this is already part of our lives and the only thing that can be done is to be prepare at all times.    Many have lost their lives, lost their loved ones, and property was damaged due to typhoon ondoy that hit the Philippines in September 2009 and followed by typhoon Yolanda in Leyte. There was also an earthquake in bohol and it will be remembered that there were wars in Zamboanga that even the inoccents were affected as well as the eruption of the Taal volcano and the pandemic that is taking place today. There are really a lot of things we don't expect like the ones mentio...
