What do you think is the most significant contribution Filipino Women make to the country?

Filipino women are exquisitely unique, creative and highly intuitive in nature and I am excited to see how we are now changing the game in the corporate or start up arena. Having said this, I think that we can raise more awareness that women can be great leaders too and we need more empowering women to step up, to be given the chance to lead, to be heard and to use their voice to affect change in any way, shape or form.

What’s your best advice for Filipino women to achieve success?

The first thing you should ask yourself is, “What is success to me?” A few years back, I thought success was what truly defined me. I had to rethink it and then I realized that success is not meant to be a destination because it is actually the journey that leads to success.

Who you are becoming and the people you have helped along the way is more important than what you have achieved or the rewards that you will eventually reap. We need to learn how to let go of personal ego, thus, it’s time to redefine what success looks like to Filipino women who value purpose, meaning and life’s fulfilment.

The impact is more sustainable that way and not just for one’s success but also for others.
