On September 23, 1906, an important meeting was held at 19 Crespo Street, Quaipo, Manila. Several civic-minded women (most of them from the Asociación Feminista Filipina) such as Concepcion Felix de Calderon, Maria Arevalo, Librada Avelino, Trinidad Rizal, Asuncion Soriano, Helen Wilson, Carmen Manuel de Gerona and Maria Flores de Villamor were in attendance. The gathering’s primary objective was to discuss the possibility of setting up a milk station in the Philippines to combat the high rate of infant mortality at the time.
The Asociación Feminista Filipina is established.
