ICYDK, March is recognized as Women's Month, which means celebrating and advocating for your fellow Pinays. And this year, we revealed a list of eight influential Filipinas who use their platform to speak up on various important causes.
Iza Calzado, Carla Abellana, Pola del Monte, Angely Dub, KaladKaren, Agatha Wong, Janina Vela, and Dr. Aivee Teo are our newest Cosmopolitan Women Of Influence awardees, so let them tell you what it means to be a woman of influence in 2024:
All About The Cosmopolitan Women Of Influence Campaign
Five years ago, we launched the 2019 Cosmopolitan Women Of Influence campaign. This was done by putting together a ~powerful~ list of fun, fearless, and forward Filipina personalities who've made a significant mark in Philippine society.
Throughout the years, we've since had the honor of recognizing more influential women: in 2020, during the height of the pandemic; in 2023, when we invited our awardees to a Recognition Dinner. And now, in 2024 to celebrate eight more empowering Filipinas.
These women have all made a difference in their various causes and industries, and have been using influence to educate, advocate, and celebrate their fellow Pinays.
What is the Cosmopolitan Women Of Influence Recognition Dinner?
As we declared last 2023, our Cosmopolitan Women Of Influence 2023 awardees are "women who lift each other up, women who empower fellow women, and women who use their platforms to make a difference." Therefore we held a Recognition Dinner to honor their advocacies on March 21, 2023, at Manila House, BGC with the help of our co-presenters, Globe Business and POND's.
Hiyasmin Neri-Soyao, special guest and the co-founder and CEO of Shoppertainment Live, was also given the "The Innovator" award during the event.
This 2024, we will again host a Recognition Dinner to show how much we admire our eight awardees. Stay tuned and watch this space for updates!
