When women come together, something powerful happens. 
That spirit came alive at #UnstoppablePowHER: The Watsons Women’s Forum 2025, held at Enderun, McKinley, Taguig City, where women from different generations and industries gathered to share stories of courage, compassion, and empowerment.
Watsons Honors Women Who Empower, Uplift, and Inspire Others
Organized by Watsons Philippines, the country’s leading health, wellness, and beauty retailer, the event celebrated the strength and resilience of every woman. It was not just a forum — it was a reminder that empowerment begins with wellness, self-worth, and community.
“Today is about giving women a voice, a platform, and a community,” shared Kim Reyes, Beauty Business Unit and Commercial Services Director. “Through the Women’s Forum, Watsons continues to open spaces that uplift, educate, and inspire.”
Women Who Inspire Through Purpose and Passion
The event’s highlight was an inspiring panel discussion featuring four remarkable women who embody empowerment in different forms:
- Ting Joson, Secretary General of Triathlon Philippines, spoke about discipline, balance, and staying active at any age.
- Karen Ibasco, Miss Earth 2017 and WWF Ambassador, shared how science and sustainability can work hand in hand for a better planet.
- Lynn Pinugu, Co-Founder of She Talks Asia and Mano Amiga Philippines, emphasized the importance of education in helping women and youth reach their full potential.
- Atty. Star Elamparo, the first woman named Woman Lawyer of the Year by Asian Legal Business, encouraged women to use their voices for justice and good governance.
Their stories of courage, purpose, and perseverance inspired every attendee to embrace their individuality and strength — proving that every woman’s journey is worth celebrating.
A Celebration of Connection and Self-Care
Beyond the stage, guests enjoyed creative experiences such as a custom perfume bar, watercolor portraits, photo booths, and a PowHER Stories open mic where women shared their personal journeys. These activities reflected Watsons’ advocacy of helping women look good, do good, and feel great — inside and out.
Empowerment That Goes Beyond One Day
The event capped Watsons’ year-long #UnstoppablePowHER campaign, but the movement continues daily. “Empowerment isn’t just a one-day celebration,” said Sharon Decapia, SAVP for Marketing, PR & Sustainability. “It’s something we live and breathe — in how we care for ourselves, how we lift others, and how we support women every day.”
Watsons’ brand partners — including Nivea, Kotex, Lactacyd, PH Care, Modess, Jeunesse, Sisters, and Naturals by Watsons — joined the event to reaffirm their shared mission: promoting women’s confidence, health, and self-love.
Through initiatives like this, Watsons continues to be a champion of women’s wellness, encouraging everyone to embrace confidence, care, and authenticity. Because when women empower women, the world becomes a better place.
