TRUTH to POWER

- BAM ABELLON

Let the aces of fashion rise. For our power issue, we've rounded up the Philippines' most brilliant style mavens. What makes them truly distinct and how are they steering the course of fashion in the local scene?

This March, we bask in this historic moment for today's women heroes-the powerhouses of journalism. Follow Korina Sanchez and Karen Davila as they come together to foster a strong narrative of power, responsibility, and bigger possibilities.

Today, in a world where, for centuries, women have been pitted against each other, these towering icons stand side by side with a unified message: women fight for women.

KORINA
It’s easy to get someone’s sense of self and aspirations through comprehending the people she looks up to. For women, who have only been surrounded by the values of inclusivity and fairness in the recent decades, finding an influential person who is relatable can empower and inspire them to dream greater.

In the case of journalist Korina Sanchez-Roxas, her biggest influence was her mother, Celia Baluyut Sanchez, whom she calls a Renaissance woman. Celia was good at everything she set her mind to doing, Korina recalls, from cooking to homemaking, to building a business and growing it.

“IT thought she would live forever,” Korina tells MEGA magazine. Well, she lives in me, and will live in my daughter, Pilar.”
