ePahayagan #301 | Curated News from Foundation for Filipina Women’s Network

We have come a long way!

It has been two decades since the Foundation for Filipina Women’s Network has come forward and supported Filipina women’s capacities. We redefine leadership. We break and march through the barriers. With Most Influential Filipina Women in the World Awardees, since 2007 selected from 34 countries across the globe, we stand strong as one. 

In 2023, how do you want to transform yourself — and transform others in the process? What seed are you planting? It is the best time of the year to ask ourselves: What else do we want to see? 

We have curated a list of topics this week that will inspire you:
