WOMEN
are quite known for their versatility in every endeavor
they engage in, but what some don’t see is their
selfless dedication in helping others and their
community as well. Not on Q-11.
Known as
the premier channel specifically designed for women,
Q-11 launched its month-long Women’s Month campaign last
March 3 via a series of plugs that feature a number of
its female personalities with their respective
advocacies. In so doing, the channel is going beyond
merely celebrating women’s month but, more importantly,
empowering and inspiring its viewers by bringing front
and center the image of a Filipina who is extraordinary
and extraordinarily selfless.
Apart
from being entertainment personalities, a number of
Q-11’s female hosts still opt to do more toward the
betterment not only of their selves but of others as
well.
Some of
them are multiawarded broadcast journalist Jessica Soho
(Reunions), who is an active advocate of
responsible broadcast journalism; Rhea Santos (News
on Q, Women’s Desk), who is involved in the “Get
Caught Reading Campaign”; and Miriam Quiambao (The
Beat), who extends her time in supporting the AGAPE
Foundation, an organization that provides self-mastery
workshops for public-school teachers, and serves as a
child-labor advocate in the ABK Initiative Project of
World Vision.
For
several years already, Carmina Villaroel (Day Off)
has been supporting the Philippine Orthopedic. Pia
Guanio (Ang Pinaka), on the other hand, is active
in fighting for animal rights by supporting PAWS.
Lucy
Torres (The Sweet Life) is an active supporter of
the Philippine National Red Cross and Project Brave
Kids, a group that helps indigent children with cancer;
while Lani Mercado (Moms) does her own share in
preserving the environment by promoting garbage
segregation, tree planting and coastal clean-ups every
September of the year.
Aside
from her restaurant business and hosting job, Chef
Rosebud Benitez (Ka-Toque) is also involved in
advocating national pride through the Yabang Pinoy
organization and Kythe, an organization that sponsors
pediatric-cancer care.
