The Philippine Embassy in Mexico invited the Sistemas de Defensa Personal Urbana to teach a basic arnis class for self-defense in culmination of the 18-day campaign to end violence against women (VAW) on 11 December 2023.

Throughout the campaign from 25 November to 12 December 2023, the personnel of the Philippine Embassy and the members of the Filipino Community were encouraged to wear an orange ribbon to symbolize their support on the elimination of VAW in the society.

The Philippine Embassy wishes to express its appreciation to Ms. Luisa Isani Gonzalez Guerrero and Mr. Lenin Betanzo Mendoza for sharing their knowledge during the arnis class.
