The planning and budget formulation event lasted for two days, from March 9 to March 10, 2023. It was a collaborative effort among the local government officials, non-government organizations, and stakeholders to ensure that the programs and plans formulated will benefit everyone, especially the marginalized sectors of the community.

With this event, the city government of Parañaque aims to create a gender-fair society where every individual, regardless of their gender, can live a life with dignity and respect.
