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

We normalize women at work, and have made our country a role model in gender diversity in the workplace for other countries – especially since PH ranked first in gender diversity in Asia, according to the 2019 Gender Diversity Benchmark for Asia report.

I look at my daughters, and I am thankful that whatever it is that they dream to do or become, they have the access to go for it – because generations of working Filipino women, including their mom, aunts, and grandmothers, had worked hard and paved the way for them to ensure their equal place in the workplace.

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

It helps to be self-aware of your strengths and weaknesses. One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was: surround yourself with smart people. Don’t be intimidated by them; learn from them, as they may fill any gaps in your skill set.

Also remember to always be kind, be generous, but don’t let anyone trample all over you. You’re not a doormat. You have brains, skills, and charisma – and let them see that you are able to contribute significantly to the team.
