The Freedom Park turned purple as DepEd Dasmariñas culminated its celebration of 2018 National Women’s Month on April 6, 2018. The celebration of the Women’s Month kicked off last March 1, 2018 with the symbolic Women Symbol Human Formation joined by the DepEd officials, school heads, teachers, and students of Congressional Integrated High School where it was held.
