In honour of all the incredible women of the world, we would like to highlight selected women of power in the Philippines
These Filipinas are all brilliant, skilled, beautiful, confident and inspirational. They are powerhouses have broken glass ceilings and continuously prove all the haters out there wrong. Their stories each teach a valuable lesson: never let someone tell you that you cannot accomplish your goals. Through hard work, your dreams are within reach. Through their achievements, diligence, passion and perseverance, they each have paved the way for the women of tomorrow.
