ePahayagan #302 - Curated News from Foundation for Filipina Women’s Network

Have you ever asked yourself: How do I express love?

One of my favorite authors, Erich Fromm, says that “love is the active concern for the life and the growth of that which we love.” This implies that love is not a bystander. It steps forward. It listens and speaks. It gives continuous efforts to spark change. Love revolutionizes. 

Love month goes beyond February. Yet, this can be the perfect time to start evaluating your expressions of love—not only to your family and friends, but to your community and the society at large. How does your love help make the world a more loving place to live in?

Here are some news that might stir inspiration in you.
