Kultura Celebrates Every Filipina
Launched during the International Women’s Month last March, Kultura continues to shine the spotlight especially on the women closest to our hearts: Filipinas.
Every year, Kultura takes this opportunity to honor all the women that nurture and care for us and are the light of our homes; the soul sisters who have our backs and lift us up; the women artisans behind our handicrafts and local industries; and all the women whose wisdom, grace, and strength are the backbone of our communities.
For this year's #CelebrateEveryFilipina series, we featured a diverse range of amazing women who embody what it means to be an empowered Filipina in today’s society. Smart, passionate, courageous, beautiful, and strong, these women are gorgeous proof that we can achieve anything we put our mind to, and we can do it in style.
The list includes: Olympian swimmer Jasmine Alkhaldi, educator and Philippine Eagle advocate Felicia Hung Atienza, volleyball player Michelle Cobb, restauranteur Ana de Ocampo, Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco, fitness coach Patricia Gatus, Beauty Queen Laura Lehmann, journalist MJ Marfori, mental health advocate Steph Naval, and Senator Grace Poe.
From March until May, we featured one Filipina a week on our social media pages, wearing fabulous modern Filipiniana and sharing her thoughts, tips, and personal experiences—not just on being an empowered woman, but on uplifting other women as well. As Senator Grace Poe shares, “An empowered Filipina is someone who is confident, who can stand up for herself, but an even stronger Filipina is somebody who can stand up for everybody else.”
Restauranteur Ana de Ocampo wears a puff-sleeved printed top with zigzag ribbon trim.
Olympian Swimmer Jasmine Alkhaldi is in an embroidered organza cropped camisa with a ruffled collar, accessorized with hand-beaded faux amethyst earrings and eye-catching crystal bangles. She also wears a one-shoulder crop top in Ilocano Kantarines weave with wire-wrapped earrings and a bracelet with semi-precious stones.
Educator Felicia Hung Atienza wears a sleeveless inabel top with a scalloped neckline, dangling baroque pearl earrings and baroque pearl skinny bangles. She also wears a delightful button-down terno-sleeved top in floral brocade with a freshwater coin pearl cluster necklace and freshwater pearl rings.
