Position: Founder and CEO at Mommy Mundo

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

Women are natural problem solvers, intuitive nurturers, and community builders. If there is something that works well, we support it and also don’t hesitate to share the good news with everyone we know. If we see that something needs fixing, we will also not hesitate to take steps and do what we can to fix it or make it better. Then when it’s fixed, we will also call on everyone to support and celebrate!

Filipina Women are of a different mettle. We are creative, resourceful, resilient, and where situations call for it, and allow, we also lead. All this done with grace and a smile on our faces. We’ll see this happening in big corporations and in SME/ MSME’s in various industries. We’ll see this in communities, in churches, non profits, and you’ll see this in every home and household too.

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

My advice to Filipino women who want to be successful is actually our Mommy Mundo campaign for 2021 which is to MIND YOUR MIND.

Oftentimes, what keeps us from achieving our dream is what’s in our heads: the fear of the unknown, the feeling of not being good enough, or not having enough resources, or what other people will say – don’t let these stop you from going for your goals and dreams. Mind your mind, and choose the thoughts that you make your own. Choose the thoughts that give you power.

Second, we women have the tendency to overthink, and to that I say, you can think, calculate and flip the idea once or twice, but after that, let go and believe it is yours. Never underestimate the power of your mind. Dreams take visualizing:)

Just remember the only thing that comes between you and you achieving your goal is yourself. Visualize your goal, take the steps towards success, and own it.
