Toronto, 17 August 2023 – The Sentro Rizal Toronto officially hosted the launch of DISRUPT 4.0, the fourth book in the leadership book series of the Foundation for Filipina Women’s Network (FWN).
The FWN is the organization for the 100 Most Influential Filipina Women Awardees from 34 countries. It seeks to increase the influence of Filipina women as leaders and policymakers to increase the odds that more Filipina women advance to influential positions in the private and public sectors.
The Disrupt book series documents the stories of Filipinas who disrupted their personal and professional lives and organizations as they became achievers in their respective fields and strong advocates for social issues.
In her welcome remarks, Consul General Angelica C. Escalona asked the guests to think about their Filipina role models, and shared stories of her own role models. According to the Consul General, “Filipinas all over the world, especially the younger generation, need strong Filipino women they can look up to. This is why the DISRUPT book series is so special”.
Among those who read excerpts from the DISRUPT books during the launch were Member of Parliament and Minister of Small Business Rechie Valdez, Toronto Medical Officer of Health Dr. Eileen De Villa and FWN Founding Executive Director Marily Mondejar.
