The closing month of the first quarter – March – is already here, but to millions around the world, March is Women’s History Month which has been observed yearly in the U.S. since 1987. Meanwhile, International Women’s Day was adopted by the United Nations as far back as 1977.

Women’s History Month celebrates women’s contributions to history, culture, and society. International Women’s Day celebrates women today as effective, powerful leaders and change-makers for sustainability initiatives around the world.

But perhaps one of the best tributes to women came from St John Paul the Great (Pope Saint John Paul II) who in his “Letters to Women”, wrote:  “Thank you, every woman, for the simple fact of being a woman! Through the insight, which is so much a part of your womanhood, you enrich the world’s understanding and help to make human relations more honest and authentic.”

It is in this light that iWantTFC, the leading Filipino streaming service in the world, is unveiling from its expansive library of content offerings — originals, films, and television series — that celebrate the essence of this month for women.
