Once upon a time, there was a dictionary that defined “Filipina” as “domestic helper”. If you’ve got one of those dictionaries, throw it out and get a new one since Filipinas have been found to be one of the most educated, healthy, economically empowered, and politically free women in the world!
We had the Gender Gap Report come out the last few days, and the Philippines is in the Top 10 in the world, Top 8 actually and the only Asian country to have that standing. There is certainly a lot we can do to improve it especially in the areas of economic participation. The great thing is that Asia is going to be the engine of economic growth in the world, and I feel we can certainly help our neighbors and sisters in this area. So I thought, why not organize an event for WOMEN – promoting our Value, Dreams and Causes. I just feel that so many women can step up and contribute.
The event will also introduce my book “High Heeled Traders” – an educational, entertaining and empowering “how-to” book on the business of share trading – which I wrote for women who have full, busy lives and still have BIG dreams to live for.
We will be bringing the event everywhere, so I look forward to have you join us!
May the Fierce be with you.

PS. Filipina “domestic helpers” are hailed as heroes, contributing millions of $$$ to the economy, while sacrificing family time, working 6 days in foreign lands.
