UNLEASHING A PINAY’S POWER VIA ‘PINAY POWER’

Real queens, they say, fix each other’s crowns. In short, a true queen’s power lies in how she unleashes the beauty of another.

JCI Philippines’ newest endeavor embraces this mantra of giving every queen the chance to discover her real beauty and maximize her strengths.

“Pinay Power”, which was launched on February 11 in Davao City, is a flagship project of JCI Philippines that recognizes the unique and valuable contribution of women toward nation-building. It aims to empower, equip, and uplift women from different walks of life.

In Filipino, “Pinay Power” means giving Filipino women opportunities. This may come in the form of added learnings and skills, inspiring them to be contributors and catalysts of change in the community.

JCI Lakambini Davao president Charinna Barro-Quilaneta narrated that as a national project, all JCI Philippines local organizations are encouraged to take part in this project.

“Our chapter, the JCI Lakambini Davao, being an all-female organization, is beyond grateful to have hosted the project’s launching since it comes close to our heart,” the newly installed leader of JCI Lakambini Davao said. “For a fact, we experience the same barriers that other Filipino women encounter. Thus, the act of breaking these barriers is best dealt with by a collective voice. As a premier women's organization, we create leadership opportunities for women and create positive change for women in our community.”

With “Pinay Power”, JCI Philippines gets the chance to spread and promote one of its innate values as an organization: That the earth's great treasure lies in human personality.
