Sexy actresses vow to help Capitol's womens programs

CEBU, Philippines - The Cebu Provincial Commission for Women and Children have started tapping the services of actresses Maui Taylor and Jennifer Lee in their campaign to promote the plans and programs addressing the issues concerning women.

In yesterday’s 10th Women Congress at the Cebu International Convention Center, both Taylor and Lee assured Cebu Governor Gwen Garcia and more than 1,000 women that they will continue helping the provincial government.

Both Taylor and Lee were designated by the provincial government as ambassadors for the program about women.

Taylor and Lee already apologized to Garcia and to the public through a written apology published in the newspapers in relation to the staging of a bikini show in Bantayan Island.

Garcia welcomed the support of both Taylor and Lee.   Garcia said that her administration lined up several projects designed to address the problems and issues about women.

Aside from these, Garcia said she also asked the support from local government units to help her office in implementing these projects.

The governor said that the rights of every woman should be respected and there is a need for a united approach to this.

The other day Garcia directed the provincial police office to arrest persons who will organize or introduce indecent and obscene shows in Santa Fe town in Bantayan Island during Holy Week.

Governor Garcia issued the directive during a meeting attended by the police, officials of Santa Fe, event organizers, and companies that sponsor big events. Also present in the meeting were Provincial Board members Jose Mari Gastardo and Joven Mondigo Jr.

Garcia said she issued the directive purposely to avoid a repeat of last year’s incident wherein the province filed a case against Taylor, Lee and several others. —Jose P. Sollano/BRP (THE FREEMAN)
