The Zonta Club of Makati Legaspi, Philippines, in collaboration with INDI Heritage Socks PH, joined the global 16 Days of Activism campaign by hosting a heritage tour in Intramuros. The activity included visits to Fort Santiago and the Rizal Museum, where participants reflected on the final days of Dr. José Rizal and the influential women in his life. Members of the Angel John Integrated Academy Z Club also participated, bringing youthful engagement and curiosity to the event.

The heritage tour served not only as a cultural learning experience but also as a fundraising initiative. Proceeds will support Bethany Children’s Home, extending the advocacy beyond the walls of Intramuros to benefit programs focused on foster care, child healing and family support.

The activity highlighted the importance of connecting history, advocacy and community action. Revisiting the narratives of Rizal’s mother and sisters underscored the crucial roles women have played in shaping Philippine history—an important reminder in the fight against gender-based violence. The partnership with INDI Heritage Socks PH also demonstrated how creative collaborations can expand Zonta’s visibility and strengthen alliances rooted in cultural appreciation and social impact.
