The plebiscite held in the Commonwealth of the Philippines in 1937 was a pivotal moment in the struggle for women's suffrage in the country. Prior to this plebiscite, Filipino women had been advocating for their right to vote, emphasizing their role in society and the importance of their voices in the democratic process. The passage of the Women's Suffrage Act in the Philippine Legislature in 1936 paved the way for this decisive vote. The act allowed for a nationwide plebiscite to determine whether women would be granted the right to participate in elections. On April 30, 1937, Filipino women and men across the nation cast their votes. The overwhelming majority of voters, exceeding 90%, endorsed the extension of suffrage to women, reflecting a significant shift in societal attitudes toward gender equality.This approval not only validated the efforts of numerous women's rights advocates but also established the legal framework for the inclusion of women in the electoral process. The plebiscite results were a testament to the progressive social changes taking place in the Philippines during this period. It was a crucial step in the broader fight for social justice and gender equality, aligning the Philippines with a global movement toward women's rights. The public support demonstrated in the plebiscite served to empower women and catalyze subsequent movements for equal rights and representation.
