Record setting [via the Philippine Commission on Women]
The Guinness world record for the largest woman symbol formation is now held by the Philippines.
The world record was set by 10,168 people forming the largest gender symbol in Rizal Park on the occasion of the “Juanas” celebration of International Women’s Day in March 8, 2014.
The confirmation of the title was given on January 7, the 40th founding anniversary of the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW), the country’s primary policy-making and coordinating body on women and gender concerns.
Guinness’ Alex Angert is quoted in his message to PCW that since there is no existing record for the largest human formation of a gender symbol, the PCW only needed 250 participants to set a new world record.
The woman symbol formation gathered government agencies, non-government organizations, state colleges and universities and civil society.
The confirmation came after evidences of the world record attempt on video, photographs, witness statements, and certification from an audit company, among others, were received and reviewed by Guinness World Records.
