HIGHLIGHTS: A picture of the world-class Filipina

MANILA, Philippines — They say that the distance between your dreams and reality is action, but what comes before it? 

Oftentimes, we are faced with circumstances such as a difficult family situation or limited finances, and that challenge our actions. But what is probably the most common and most debilitating circumstance of all is our own mindset. 

“My path is set for me.” “I’m not good enough.” “There’s nothing I can do.” 

It’s the “can’ts” and the “shouldn’ts” that we make in our heads that truly stop us from pursuing our passions and fulfilling our dreams. A lot of Filipinas feel like they’re not good enough to take charge of their own path because of this and that, and so and so. But who knows where they could be right now if they just had the confidence to close the gap between dream and reality? 

Cream Silk is launching a new campaign that proves that the Filipina is anything but limited. She is confident, talented, and full of potential. And most of all, she is world-class. She can take on all the world has to offer, and make a dream of reality.

There is no dream too big for the world-class Filipina. Do you agree? 

Keep up with Cream Silk Portraits: Stories of World-Class Filipinas happening at The Theater in Solaire on April 21, 2015, 6PM through our live blog for real stories of real world-class Filipinas.
