Shattering the Glass Ceiling of the World.


This glass has not been shattered in most part of the world, and I still believe in that. The US presidential election is one factor that we can take a look to show that this is indeed not broken. We didn't see Hillary Clinton win the primaries over Obama. Nor did we see Sarah Palin become the VP of the country. Everybody was criticizing Palin for being a poor running mate for McCain and maybe a reason for his poor performance. But what I saw is the invincible glass ceiling still up there despite the US being a liberal country who they say treat their woman equally. One of them of winning, might change a lot of things for woman all over the world.

For an organization to shatter this glass, they should have a strong FEMALE leader. Having 2 strong female leaders in our country namely GMA and CORY, have a great impact in our society, amybe helped shatter it a bit. Our top companies here in the Philippines are run by Female, to name a few Tessie Coson is the chairman of BDO and handles SM, Robina Gokongwei of Universal Robina, and many more. We can see a few senators (Pia Cayetano, Loren Legarda, Meriam Santiago), congressman, mayors, who are female

In our own company, my mom is the leader. And because she is a strong woman, it is clearly visible, that the company is dominated by woman. Everybody is treated equally, but the females have been performing better, because they know there is equal opportunity for them within the company. If a female can be a leader, it encourages other female to the same.

hehe... i don't know if i'll agree with you when you said Cory and GMA as strong leaders.

For Cory, she was a housewife turned president. Though it was a sign for Filipino democracy turning over tyranny of Marcos, I'm not sure if her taking over our country did better. Of course, freedom from an iron-clad was highly celebrated and we'd rather have Cory to be our leader compared to Marcos. But then again, I won't consider her as an effective replacement for Marcos.

On the other hand, i say GMA is pretty strong given she's still in power up until now. Though she's been named one of the most strong females in Asia, I don't think she's been the most ethical and inspiring leaders. Corruption issues has been surrounding her regime.

Syempre GRACE PADACA parin!!! haha
