Jan. 22, 2011 at Intramuros Restaurant: Pina Couture by Anthony Cruz Legarda
I always say that it takes a village to raise a child — and the child that Filipino fusion fashion has raised is for a noble cause — that our indigenous weavers in the Philippines do not lose sight of their traditional weaving techniques for the sake of progress: leaving for overseas employment. Anthony Cruz Legarda, ever since I started volunteering with him through ARKITEKNIK, is a couture designer extraordinaire. There is a saying that “Kindred spirits find each other, no matter what.” We are definitely like-minded. I hope to make it to this fashion show fundraiser. Please join me. Continue reading

Myrna Lardizabal de Vera: Councilmember, City of Hercules, California
In the June 2010 edition of the Cebu-Davao glossy magazine, ZEE Lifestyle, the conclusion of my article about Myrna Lardizabal de Vera, my younger sister, quoted her as saying: “I believe that every woman is a citizen leader. She listens, she facilitates, and she arbitrates. In my ideal world of writing women back into history, I envision more mothers stepping out of their comfort zones and finding a vocation in community development, such as a planning commission. A mommy citizen leader would know how to work with dissonant voices in her community — and help all stakeholders find the common ground they can work on.
As author Marianne Williamson wrote: ‘We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.’
My message to all women and girls, wherever you are: ‘Be fearless! Just do it! And shine!” Continue reading
