PLDT Home, the home broadband unit of leading Philippine telecommunications company PLDT, celebrates the strength of female connections during the celebration of International Women's Month with #SheConnects, a special video series campaign featuring four inspired and empowered Filipino women who are the designers, leaders and beacons of today's evolving modern generation. The campaign seeks to build a network of women who can convene, encourage one another and come together in the middle of a raging pandemic with one woman's accomplishment serving as a springboard to the fulfillment of another woman's dream.
Frontlining PLDT Home's #SheConnects campaign are four Filipinas whose advocacies and achievements become shining examples of women empowerment in these challenging times, namely: athlete, television personality and "Woman In Action" Gretchen Ho as Beacon; Masungi Georeserve founders and managing trustees Billie and Ann Dumaliang as Champions; and social entrepreneur and Messy Bessy owner Krie Lopez as Builder. Through these voices that can be heard clearly across all generations, women can elevate and educate others to the best of their knowledge, ability and even potential. “With #SheConnects we want to shine the spotlight on incredible women who are trailblazers in their respective fields. We hope that their stories will inspire and empower other women to continue making a positive impact in society,” shares PLDT Senior Vice President and Home Group Consumer Business Head Butch Jimenez.
As a beacon and role model for today’s youth, Gretchen continues to inspire others to speak up and shed light on issues that impact women. From her days as a champion athlete to now being a rising star in the news industry, Gretchen Ho is paving the way for women to use their platforms to tell their stories and be brave to stand up for what they believe in. Sisters Billie & Ann Dumaliang show other women how to be brave about one’s purpose. With dedication and effort, they have turned the Masungi Georeserve into a massively thriving example of commitment to help sustain the Philippines’ natural resources. Breaking away from the norms of corporate work, the sisters took the road less traveled and aimed for environmental awareness and conservation. They are a shining example of how women can become champions for future generations.
Krie Lopez built a business with the heart at its core – love for people and the planet. This has been her battle-cry from the very start. Making social enterprise social responsibility, she has been an advocate of inclusivity for all women by providing them not just jobs but also education and holistic development. For years, she has been connecting women from different backgrounds, especially those considered “unskilled laborers,” to opportunities that can impact their lives for the better. Championing their causes, PLDT Home encourages every empowered woman to rise up and make a positive impact on other people’s lives through the power of their strongest connections at home.
