Tatler Philippines - March 2024

In this issue

In celebration of Women’s Month, Tatler honours the women in the country who continue to inspire and make a difference. On the cover are four dynamic ladies who may be senators' wives but have made an impact in their own ways: Tootsy Echauz-Angara, Kathryna Yu Pimentel, Em Aglipay Villar and Audrey Tan Zubiri. They spearhead the Senate Spouses Foundation, Inc, which has done humanitarian projects—from home-building for the elderly to medical missions, disaster relief, education programmes and more. Besides their involvement in these causes, they are hardworking mothers, businesswomen and public servants. “My prayer is that every woman in the world be able to overcome and emerge victorious over whatever challenge she may be facing,” says Zubiri.

Tatler also presents ten incredible women who may be under the radar but have made a dent in their respective industries. They are scientists, social impact investors, analogue astronauts, members of Parliament and the first female CEO of a respected company.

We also had an interview with the US Ambassador MaryKay Carlson, who gave us inside access to her life and home. She shared what she loves most about the Philippines.

Other articles include how women challenge the norms of the birthing experience and an interview with Asian Institute Management (AIM) President and Dean Jikyeong Kang.

Not to be missed is our exclusive story on the Hispanic Society Museum and Library awarding the prestigious Sorolla medal to the Zobel family for preserving the country’s historical heritage, the arts and nation-building.
