While writing an intro for this post, I can’t help but think how Corazon Aquino feels now (if ever she’s still alive) to be included in this prestigious list. I’m pretty sure that being a Person of the Year in Time Magazine is a tremendous achievement for her. But to be one of the 25 Most Powerful Women of the 20th Century is greater.

As an icon of democracy, the 11th and first lady president of the Philippines is now again recognized and have been included in this Time’s powerful list of women who have made significant impact to the world in the past century.  I can say that this recognition is not just an achievement by Cory and her family but also for us, Filipinos especially women. This is truly inspiring.

Now in line with the famous Hollywood stars such as Eva Longoria, Penelope Cruz and Beyonce Knowles, Anne Curtis is definitely walking on the clouds for being a part of the prestigious  L’oreal Paris girls as she endorses the latest L’oreal Paris hair product, Total Repair 5. As a Filipina, I also feel feel very proud for her as we, Filipinos are now all gaining significant scenes in various fields and become known such as in boxing and singing, to name a few.

She’s definitely worth it.
