The role of woman in diplomacy focused on the sending of Filipina Peace Keepers for United Nations was preferably become the idea of the researcher since the growing society of diplomacy and government did not noticed too much on the role of women now a days were they focused too much on power and wealth proliferation. Filipina peacekeepers for United Nations have the image of women's ability to attain masculine role which the researcher wants to improve that women can do what man can do.

Review of related Literature Filipina peace keepers for United Nations enhanced the role of woman through different functions.One part is that their masculinity in giving safe guard on abused woman with different countries. Peace keepers proved that woman were not just capable of using their minds in promoting the world but also they can use their body for multitasking positions in a way they show their masculine role as what it was said in (Balana, May 30, 2009, Inquirer, http://globalnation.inquirer.net) Filipino peacekeepers are recognized by the United Nations for their outstanding performance and tireless commitment to maintain global peace and security. Woman now a days have equal opportunities with man in promoting the world. In Diplomacy they contributed their strenghts in protecting other woman for United Nations. Diplomacy in terms of peace keeping security give relevance on the knowledge that woman have strengthened ties between Philippines and other countries. (Public informations service unit, December 17, 2010, Department of Foreign Affairs, http://dfa.gov.ph,) loj said she is optimistic that the number of Filipino female peacekeepers will continue to increase which would allow them to continue to "set examples and be role models for Liberian women to participate in security institutions." She also commended the Philippines "for their vision in electing women as leaders and heads of state" noting "this is something that both Liberia and the Philippines share. With this statement Feminism proves that the continuous increase of woman would synchronized the world through globalization and diplomacy. Their strengths and liabilities together with their minds can be relied upon reconstructing the international phenomena for peaceful means. Filipina Peace Keepers for United Nations is a good source of promoting the perspective of suffering that can also be an instrument in diplomacy by means of power as what it was said (Dela Cruz and Peracullo, 2011) Suffering has the power to change the oppressors. And so, the entire focus here are the perpetrators of violence rather than the victims injustices. Soelle's answer to the problem of powerlesness views the resurrection of good power. Thus this would also mean that woman through suffering has a good power that they can impart in globalization. Woman with solidarity can promote each other such as the Filipina Peace Keepers who protect their fellow women abused in other countries as what it was said (Dela Cruz and Peracullo, 2011) Compassion somehow constrains us to suffer with the other; it demands solidarity with the other. And for Soelle, the resurrection is possible if there is real compassion that enables one to be centered on the other; there is a for-otherness central to compassion. This issue imparted that Filipino women have role in promoting diplomacy in the Philippines. They helped in developing the international arena with the use of the ability of their minds to promote peace as what it was said earlier. Their capabilities in peace making recvolution is better than man, Henderson said that in Africa, women can develop their nation into more synchronized era than man since they were not prone to war. With this, women can be a tool in the strategy of promoting alliance and good negotiation with other countries. Woman were bound to be a replica of man, they can do what man can do and implement equality, as what it was said (May 20, 2010, Irrin news, http://irinnews.org). Women might constitute 20 percent of peacekeeping units by 2014, but Lamptey acknowledged that some officials thought it "completely unrealistic" to try replicating this on the military front. "It's a work in progress," she said. "A lot of member states are beginning to understand that when it comes to peacekeeping missions, you really do need to have both women and men in the military and police equally represented; they are beginning to understand the merits of that." With the sending of Filipino women peacekeepers for United Nations, the role of women in Diplomacy becomes a lot more specific when it comes to diplomacy. They were specified in terms of masculine roles and intellectual revolution. With their capabilities of handling insurgencies in their designated places, they promote diplomacy in Philippines and gained their respect through medals and awards. Filipino women as peacekeepers can promote diplomacy in the Philippines through the value of solidarity, attaining good power by means of suffering, by having a masculine role and their continues increase would gain good predominance through out the world. With this, the strengths that women can impart in the international arena can harmonize globalization and peace negotiation throughout the world. This study that the researcher stratified, forms new assumptions about woman in how they can promote diplomacy in Philippines. In evaluating Filiipino women peacekeepers, their masculine roles in protecting other countries for United Nations promotes diplomacy in Philippines. Methodology A.
