Gabriela representative and Makabayan-Nacionalista senatorial candidate Liza Maza led thousands of women in a nationwide march against any attempt of PGMA to perpetuate self in power in the coming May 2010 elections. The march marked the centennial celebration of International Women's Day on March 8.

“Women bore the brunt of the shameless corruption and lies that characterize the almost decade-long rule of President Arroyo. We are struggling against the perennial economic crisis brought about by her brazenly mismanaged administration. We should not allow the continued stay in power of this anti-woman president, most especially her attempt to become the prime minister through the coming congressional elections," Maza said.
