“Our InLife Shero of the Year award recognizes strong and empowered women who are helping to build a strong and modern Filipino nation. This award also highlights Filipino women leaders in the midst of the global pandemic,” InLife Executive Chairman Nina D. Aguas said.

The InLife Shero of the Year is a category in the annual Asia CEO Awards and is given to a Filipino woman leader who has achieved recognizab­le success in overseeing organizati­ons that have advanced the nation’s economic and or social standing in the world.
