Dina dela Paz, Awarded as Most Influential Filipina in the World
Another Filipina awarded in the
100 MOST INFLUENTIAL FILIPINA IN THE WORLD.
Dina Dela Paz-Stalder, a skincare
expert, was awarded with this prestigious recognition, specifically in the Founder
and Pioneer Category (Global FWN100 Award) in Toronto, Canada on October 27,
2017, by Filipino Women’s Network. She was selected from an outstanding field
of nominees from around the world.
The Global FWN100 Award™
recognizes 100 Filipino women who are changing the face of leadership in the
global workplace. It distinguishes them
for their outstanding work in their respective fields, and further recognizes
them for their achievement and contributions to society. Dina Dela Paz-Stalder’s award and global
recognition is another evidence of Filipino pride as she proves that Filipinos
are also global leaders in terms of skincare innovations and extraordinary
leadership.
Started from just a small steel
pot for skincare formulations, she now
owns and leads the Stalder Group of Companies which includes Stalder Laboratories Incorporation (a
cGMP-certified, Halal-certified and FDA-approved manufacturing plant located in
San Pablo, Laguna), the BCP
Dermatological Corporation (the marketing arm),
and the Diana Stalder Face, Body, Skincare Center (formerly known as
Dermaline Facial Center).
Aside from being an entrepreneur,
Dela Paz-Stalder is a strong advocate for causes such as the environment and
community development.
For community development, it
would have been easier to build a factory in an industrial zone, but as a
farmer’s daughter, the grit and determination that served her well in business
is something she applies equally to her advocacies. So she opted instead to empower her town
mates, and give back to her hometown. As far as environment is concerned, at
all levels of production, she is adamant about waste segregation and
sludge/water recycling. Working with the Mother Earth foundation, the community
has also produced malunggay tea, mushrooms, and green charcoal. With this, Dela
Paz-Stalder was recognized with a blue ribbon award from the Laguna Lake
Development Authority, an honor bestowed upon environmentally responsible
businesses.

"I feel overwhelmed with this
recognition, as I did not expect to be given this prestigious award.. Being one
of the Most Influential Filipina Woman in the World Award: Founder &
Pioneer gives me the opportunity to show my capability as a Filipino and as a
woman in inspiring business entrepreneurs. Now, I am more motivated to
encourage more people with my story - from my humble beginnings to the dazzling
height of success. May we all continue to work together, nurture and empower
this unique group, FWN," said Dela Paz-Stalder.
