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

Filipino women wear so many hats. You’d hear about a woman who has a full-time day job, has kids, and even has time to do online selling. Or, a single mom who works at night and takes care of her child during the day yet manages to squeeze in freelance gigs on the weekends. These two situations just show that Filipino women are capable of doing so many things at the same time.

BUT it’s all about these two things: taking charge of their career WHILE prioritizing the welfare of their families.

They do not only contribute to the economic growth of the country but also help shape future generations. As my Economics Professor once said, “If you invest in women, you invest in a generation.”

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

My advice is to not wait for your so-called “BIG BREAK.” Make it happen instead! And of course, ALWAYS have faith in God and in yourself.
