Mabilog.
Twenty outstanding women of Iloilo City were recognized and were given awards during The Outstanding Women of Iloilo (TOWIL) 2009 held at SM City Iloilo last March 30, 2009.
They are those who excelled in the different fields of practice and endeavors, thus serving as inspiration to other women in the government's advocacy of uplifting the status of women.
This is a yearly project of City Councilor Julienne Baronda, chairperson for the Committee on Women and Family Relations, Iloilo City Council, Haligi Foundation, Gender and Development Team and the Iloilo City Government.
As Councilor Baronda puts it, “Behind the success of every man, there is a woman in front.”
