MOST INFLUENTIAL FILIPINA WOMAN IN THE WORLD™ AWARD
In Monaco this November, we will celebrate a new cohort of awardees whose leadership embodies the Summit theme: Power, Influence, and Security. We are seeking Filipina women leaders who not only excel in their fields but also have the capacity and commitment to give back to the communities where they thrive.
Who to nominate.
Women whose achievements have driven measurable impact in their professions, civic life, or communities.
Leaders demonstrating vision, integrity, and the ability to mobilize resources and people for the common good.
Changemakers who use their influence to strengthen the security, opportunity, and well-being of Filipina women and families locally and globally.
Why this requires your attention. This recognition is far beyond a trophy. It is a strategic effort to ensure Filipina women are seen, heard, and celebrated on the world stage — opening doors, amplifying voices, and creating networks that multiply impact. Honorees will present at the Monaco Summit, inspiring audiences and forging alliances that amplify their work.
