Babae Ako Partylist continues to empower women not just through advocacy and support, but also by promoting the importance of health and wellness in every community. Believing that a strong, healthy woman is the heart of every family and community, the Partylist regularly hosts Zumba sessions across various barangays to encourage an active and balanced lifestyle.

At the forefront of this movement is Ms. Rossel “Shantal D.” Dimayuga, Babae AkoPartylist’s first nominee, who strongly advocates for the physical and mental well-being of women. She emphasizes that taking care of one’s health is a vital step towards achieving personal and professional goals.

“We believe that when women feel good and are in their best shape physically, emotionally, and mentally, they are more confident and empowered to lead their families and communities,” Ms. Shantal D. shares.

Zumba, a popular fitness program that combines Latin-inspired dance moves with aerobic exercise, has become a favorite among women of all ages. It’s a fun and high-energy workout that not only helps burn calories but also improves cardiovascular health, coordination, and flexibility. More than just physical fitness, Zumba also serves as a mood booster—helping participants reduce stress, increase energy levels, and feel more connected with others.

The Zumba sessions hosted by Babae Ako Partylist are open to all women, from young mothers to grandmothers, and serve as a lively and inclusive space for wellness and bonding. These events encourage a culture of self-care and health awareness, while also building a sense of community among participants.

Through these initiatives, Babae Ako Partylist proves its commitment to holistic empowerment—where a healthy body fuels a strong, fearless, and capable Filipina.
