Unedited Q&A
1. Congratulations on being recently recognized as one of ASW’s Culture Champs (Personal Development) and Client Spotlight awardees (with Team Pact Group). Can you tell us more about these achievements?
I am more than happy and grateful to share this award with my Team. It was a collective effort to be awarded as the Client Spotlight awardee. I won't be awarded as one of ASW's Culture Champs if not for my team.
I just made sure that we are always on top of every requests to manage the stakeholders expectations.
I am happy that my team became a role model to other departments within Pact Group and with that they are slowly building their own team under ASW. There was only Creative team before under ASW. Now, we have Supply Chain group and soon under People and Culture. It is truly amazing that my team get to be recognized for their hard work.
2. The woman who inspires her the most:
My Mom inspired me the most. I will not be here if not for her. As a mother of two, she has shown endless love and support to our family. She sacrificed her professional career to be a full-time housewife which was agreed and proposed by my father. She is so selfless that she would rather buy something nice for us instead of buying something good for her. She thought us the Christian way of living, to be a God-fearing individual and to be kind and respectful to others. With these, I would like to honor her this Women's Month.
3. Overcoming challenges as a woman:
There was a time when there was still no gender equality. High positions were dominated by males. Females are perceived weak and had to take long maternity leaves that is why agents and Human Resources would rather hire male employees. In this day and age, companies are now more open and recognizes the capabilities of women in the workforce. This is the reason why I am able to showcase what I am capable of.
4. Her advice to young career women:
Do not give up easily. You are just starting your own race. Take any trials and challenges as a learning curve. If you made a mistake, do not take it to heart. It is okay. Move on, accept your shortcomings, learn from it and come back stronger. Nobody is perfect but try not to repeat the same mistakes again. Work honestly, even though no one is looking. Work with integrity and take pride with your work as you are contributing to the success of the company.
5. How can we, as a community, continue to celebrate and support women throughout the year, not just during Women's Month?
Ensuring there is gender equality and that the voices of the women are heard. Also, recognize the efforts for each achievements as this will encourage and truly inspire women to do their best.
