others, sports and women empowerment. As a steadfast advocate of health, sports and
women’s rights, she believes that sports can be a very powerful tool to empower women.

It also recognizes the achievements of inspiring women from all walks of life, through its annual exhibit, “Empowered Filipinas: Raising the Bar”.
