Discovering the World of Women at SM Supermalls
The diversity of feminine beauty and brains – from fair to morena, athletic to plus size, entrepreneurs to philanthropists, and many more – was the subject of an exhibit organized recently by SM Supermalls at SM Mega Fashion Hall.
“We honor women’s power, strength, and countless achievements. Women are
the doers and dreamers. They are strong, accomplished, and wise beyond years,”
said Jonjon San Agustin, SM Supermalls Senior Vice President for Marketing.
The project featured 31 inspiring and beautiful ladies who have made a
difference in the lives of Filipinos through their chosen advocacies. Among the
group were Miss World 2013 Megan Young; HIV awareness and safe sex education
advocate Angel Jones; Entrepreneur of the Year Philippines’
2017 Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Rissa Mananquil-Trillo;
‘warrior princess for peace’ Honey Sumndad-Usman; and mother-daughter celebrity
beauty experts Vicki Belo and Cristalle.
Five women, whose portraits were also part of the exhibit, were
recognized as the winners of the #WorldofWomenAtSM digital promo. They gave the
best answers on what it means to be an empowered and independent woman. Maria
Corazon Lacambacal, full-time mother and cancer survivor, emphasizes the importance
of living a fuller life with confidence, while Mica Flor Catanghal, a
pharmacist, believes empowered women exude strength of character. Stephanie
Justine Espallardo, a medical doctor, Carla Cabral, a social media strategist, and April Joyce Zaide, an engineer, also won prizes
for their answers.
“I am very fortunate to have been able to photograph these empowered
women with stories that speak of resilience, joy, and endless dreams. We can
always learn a thing or two from women. Mabuhay
ang kababaihan,” said Cosme.
