Who run the world? WOMEN

MANILA, Philippines — These days, every woman is a superwoman. She takes on many roles in relation to a variety of people; she is a daughter/ mother/ sister/ friend. But at the same time, she also has a free, independent life of her choosing; she can be anything from an ambitious career woman to a disciplined and competitive athlete, or break stereotypes and become a professional stunt driver!  

The possibilities for a superwoman are endless. 

But one of the most admirable types of superwomen are those who are able to juggle all their roles with grace, in spite of life’s challenges. Amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life, she is able to walk tall and proud, not only for herself, but also in the name of all who depend on her. 

Does this sound familiar? 

Yes, you can find a superwoman so close to home. You probably call her “mom”. 

The responsibility of raising a family while keeping a life that is your own is definitely hard work. But take a cue from those who have mastered the art of multi-tasking — a woman does not become a superwoman just by becoming a mother. A superwoman is anyone who will take life by its reins, and take ownership of all the roles entrusted upon her. She will not blame her circumstance or try to wiggle out of her duties, but instead, she will embrace them and live them out to their fullest. 

The Philippines is chock-full of the superwomen described above. It’s a country that has had 2 women presidents; a country with one of the highest percentage of women CEOs in the world and a good number of women entrepreneurs; and a country where women can enjoy the same freedom men enjoy. It’s a country where every woman is a superwoman. 

Yes, the Philippines is a nation of superwomen, so surely you can name all the leading ladies in your life. 

So who are the superwomen of your world? It’s time to pay respect to all the ladies who have made that effort. Happy International SUPERWomen’s Day! #SUPERWOMEN — Rappler.com
