IT'S A WOMAN'S WORLD AFTER ALL

Eastern Communications' Co-coordinators Share What It's Like to Rule in a Male-Centric Industry

- STEPHANIE FERRER

The telco industry is known for being predominantly run by men. Women who are part of this field are seen as outlanders, treading unknown waters. But Eastern Communications’ co-coordinators, Atty. Aileen Regio and Ms. Hermi Hizon, prove that women have what it takes to succeed and rule in a male-centric territory.

As co-coordinators, they oversee the company's key operations and create the highest level of efficiency possible within the organization. Their road to the top was met with hurdles that had tested their devotion to create a better environment and improve the management at Eastern Communications, but they powered through. For Atty. Regio, her work ethic and eagerness to overcome challenges served as her fuel to thrive in the telco business. And while being part of Eastern Communications was something that Hizon didn’t expect, she has shown gratitude and perseverance in proving why placing her there was the right choice.
