And today, we gather as one community to celebrate how far we have gone. Today, we celebrate our women’s resilience, strength, and bravery throughout history. ”

The summit aimed to inspire women to take a stand towards creating a non-gender biased community and celebrate women who have succeeded in different aspects of life. Keynote speakers for the event included women leaders Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Bernadette Romulo-Puyat, parenting, relationship and family life specialist Dr. Michele Alignay, and CNN International senior correspondent Paula Hancocks.
