CEO RUBY PACIS IS ONE OF THE 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL FILIPINA WOMEN
Ruby C. Pacis, CEO and founding president of Faith in God Ruby Pacis Montalbo Professional and Technical Services Corp. (FIGRPMPTSC), was recently honored as one of the 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the World by the Filipina Women’s Network (FWN) held in a gala ceremony in London, United Kingdom last Sept. 14.
The Global FWN100 Awards recognize women who have risen to the most influential and/or highest positions in corporations and nonprofit/government institutions in Africa, North America, South America, Asia, Australia, and Europe and use their influence to better the lives of the communities where they live and work.
Pacis received the award under the “Builders” category which recognizes women who have demonstrated exceptional impact at a large workplace environment. Builders demonstrate high potential and skill with measurable results. “Buildership” is about developing better organizations, leading broken organizations to adjust, repair, and realign views redefining traditional methods.
“Naming my company 'Faith in GOD' is just equivalent to ‘walking my talk’ or ‘living my faith,'” she said. “Our company’s working principles are all Biblebased and our core values are patterned after the best qualities of Daniel in the Bible which are Commitment (Delivering on a Promise), Excellence (Giving Your Best), Integrity (Walking Our Talk), Steadfastness (Be Tenacious and Keep Improving).” It turns out workplace professionalism and good oldfashioned Christian values are pretty much the same thing.
Dina Stalder, who was named one of the 100 Most Influential Filipina Women in the World (Global FWN100) in 2017, and who nominated Pacis this year expressed her strong support.
“Ruby has been my friend for more than a decade now. Throughout our friendship, I have seen in her qualities that reflect the true essence of a woman. She demonstrated exceptional business impact in a large workplace environment; displaying a deep passion for a cause through collaborative ini- tiatives or alliances with nonprofit organizations on behalf of her own organization. She is a true believer in God that never fails to see the positive side of life.”
Pacis said, “This FWNrecognition that was given to me by our Lord Jesus Christ triples my enthusiasm and immeasurable desire to continue serving Him by influencing others to know, embrace and serve their Life’s purpose in every single minute of their lives,” Pacis said.
The FWN awards primary purpose is to empower women and to encourage more of them to take up leadership positions in their companies, communities and countries. And this is something Pacis wants to advocate for as well.
“I would like to share this honor with other women, and I hope I can be an instrument where women can express their voices and ideas without prejudice and are being heard around the world,” she said. “We can bravely get out of the box and start serving our life’s purpose through our God-given talents and skills. Start letting your light shine and sparkle through the lives of others whom you have influenced or impacted in so many wonderful ways,” Pacis said.
