The convention’s keynote speaker, Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia, welcomed the 250 lady judges to share their thoughts about the theme – Stopping the Abuse of Power for Purposes of Sexual Exploitation – a timely reflection on the concerns of women in the workplace and at home.

Women judges from all over the nation gathered to discuss women’s issues, particularly the sensitive topic of “sextortion”, or extortion using sex. Sextortion, according to Associate Justice Teresita de Castro of the Supreme Court, is a form of corruption that transpires in various parts of the world, including the Philippines. Unfortunately, public consciousness about its existence is low.

Governor Garcia stated that the sexual exploitation and the abuse of authority remains an obstacle to the empowerment and freedom of women and men alike.

The elements of sextortion are identified under the present laws against sexual harassment, violence against women, acts of lasciviousness, and rape. In March 2009, the International Association of Women Judges (IAWJ) partnered with the Philippines, Tanzania, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, to establish an anti-sextortion campaign.

As a committed advocate of women empowerment, Beverly Hills 6750 espouses initiatives such as these to increase awareness of women’s rights in the workplace.

Beverly Hills 6750 believes in the power of transformation from the inside out.

From the Manila Bulletin:

“Rambo at Merk’s” will mark the comeback of Ramiro Arce Romero, better known as “Rambo” by close friends. It will also be his debut at Merk’s Bar & Bistro, owned by Prince of Jazz Richard Merk and his wife Roni Tapia-Merk. “Rambo at Merk’s” happens on Tuesday night, May 4.

Rambo is a graduate of the UP Conservatory of Music, major in Voice. After graduation in the late 80’s, one of the highlights of his fledgling career in music was a mainstay role in Armida Sigiuon Reyna’s popular “Aawitan Kita.” From Filipino opera, he shifted to a new style as a singer. With the “Sinatra” timber in his voice, Rambo chooses to sing old time favorites that appeal to the young and old alike. Rambo’s repertoire of love songs include “I’ll Be Seeing You,” “I Left My Heart In San Francisco” and “The Wonder Of You” among others will surely touch every body’s heart. By the way, Rambo has a regular gig every Wednesday evening at the family owned KKK Restaurant/Bar at Midtown Robinsons Manila.
