Women deserve to take up space and lead to bring positive change to every person they meet and the communities they serve. They are not just the light of our homes, but alsothe steadfast pillars of our society.
This is what Robinsons Department Store’s #Women2026: Ladies Who Lead Forum aimed to showcase. Last March 7, 2026, Robinsons gathered women leaders from different sectors to open up conversations about how everyday practices and policies can excel and limit women’s opportunities. Plus, how allies, including men, could play a supportive role in creating a more inclusive environment for everyone.
The event was filled with inspiring lessons for women and allies, such as:
Change happens when we all work together
Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte gave guests an overview of the status of women’s rights in the Philippines. While some progress has been made in pushing policies that provide a safe space and opportunities, there’s still a lot of work to do. “It’s not easy, but we will work hard to make these policies happen,” Belmonte said.
Likewise, Department of Justice Undersecretary Margarita Gutierrez highlighted the existing gaps in protecting women, emphasizing that societal reform is a joint effort. “If we want real change for women and girls, it will come when the government is serious about enforcement. The approach should be the whole nation working together, not individual efforts,” she said.
You have the power to transform lives
Creativity and ingenuity go hand in hand. When done right, it can transform the lives of people. This is what Belo Essentials Managing Director Cristalle Belo-Pitt wanted to achieve when she started helping her mom, Dr. Vicki Belo, in creating a product line that brings their dermatological services closer to more people. For the Belos, making their beauty products accessible gives women the tools to take care of herself better. “When you look after yourself, you can take care of a whole barangay,” Belo-Pitt said.
Halia CEO and Founder Alexa Jocom had a similar mindset when she first started her sanitary pad brand. Disappointed with the plasticky quality of other brands, Jocom set out to create organic, biodegradable pads that are great for periods, as well as taking care of the environment. Another environmental advocate is Billie Dumaliang, Masungi Georeserve Director for Advocacy and Board Trustee. She was exposed to nature preservation and rehabilitation at a young age, watching how Masungi went from a barren forest to the lush green area that many know today.
Belo-Pitt, Jocom, and Dumaliang are proof that women have the power to take initiative and bring about the change people need in the world.
From improving daily life to enacting long-term policies, the message is clear: when women are empowered, they can empower everyone. This Women’s Month, Robinsons Department Store hopes to inspire Filipinos with the lessons from #Women2026: Ladies Who Lead Forum.
As a month-long treat, shoppers can enjoy up to 70% off on ladies’ apparel, accessories, and beauty products in all branches of Robinsons Department Store.
