Senate resolution commends Filipinas for historic Fifa performance
MANILA, Philippines — The Senate adopted on Monday a resolution congratulating and commending the Philippine Women’s National Football team, dubbed as Filipinas, for their historic win at the Fifa Women’s World Cup.
Senate Resolution No. 80, sponsored by Senator Pia Cayetano, was adopted during the plenary session held Monday, taking into consideration Resolution Nos. 715, 720, and 722.
Cayetano said the team did their best during the 2023 Women’s World Cup. This led to their historic first goal and first win against New Zealand with a full-time score of 1-0 at the Wellington Regional Stadium last July 25.
“This triumphant achievement resonates deeply with the Filipino people, as it not only showcases the team’s prowess on the global stage but also symbolizes the resilience and indomitable spirit of the Philippines,” the resolution states.
Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri and Senators Joel Villanueva, Alan Peter Cayetano, and Ramon Revilla also stood up to co-sponsor the resolution.
