Governor Murphy was the first Governor who took action on gaining civil and political rights for women, while other Governors such as Roosevelt and Davis aimed to help women gain civil rights, but never took initiative. Governor General Frank Murphy, who aimed to gain peace and unity for all Philippine women, ultimately signed the Woman’s Suffrage Bill, in hope that women would gain equal rights, fairness, and treatment.

Post Women Suffrage Rights

In 1939, two years after Philippine women were granted the right to vote, the first woman senator came to be, her name being Geronima T. Pecson. The election of Geronima sparked the start of many leadership positions for women such as the election of two women presidents, congresswomen, senators, mayors and many other leadership positions along with those.
