We ask these strong, powerful females who they look up to
Which woman do I look up to in admiration? On the personal side there is Blessed Mary, mother of Lord Jesus, the embodiment of a mother’s devotion to her child. There is my mother Evangelina, with her old-school but timeless family values. On the political side, there are many dating back to Queen Elizabeth I, or Golda Meir, or Margaret Thatcher, or even her contemporary Queen Elizabeth II who is now into her seventh decade of leading the British Commonwealth in its transition from colonial times to digital times. But to be more objective and relevant to contemporary Filipino women, I would go for a Nobel Peace Prize winner from our part of the world, Aung San Suu Kyi. I walked a political tightrope throughout my Presidency. She is doing so even today, with dignity and grace. I was unjustly persecuted and detained by the ruling powers. So too in her case, perhaps even to a graver degree. Aung San Suu Kyi gets my thumbs up!
