THE first 'Global Women Who Rule (GWWR)' summit last year was a success beyond expectations thanks to 22 Filipino women leaders, who shared their insights, struggles and success stories with The New Channel (TNC). The pressure was now on to match previous achievements if not top these.

One of the key points to be emphasized was the importance and impact of going digital and how it had transformed the way women conversed as well as disseminated and consumed information. Even without a dedicated audience, the various platforms had given women a place to put their voice out there.
