Mabuhay mga Filipina!

Looking over photos posted by Leni Robredo of her daughter's recent graduation from NYU - wonder | wander | world is happy to see them with Xyza Bacani, another stellar female achiever whom we featured in a past post here.

Without much fanfare, they go about their lives and work greatly impacting those of us who are staying tuned and keeping watch. 

Robredo generously stood in for Bacani's parents, who could not attend the event. Bacani said it took "a village of generous people" from Hong Kong, the Philippines, and the United States to make her master's degree a reality. 

We are ever appreciative and grateful these powerhouse females are here to share and make history with us. They are bright beacons of light that show us how the world can be lighter and better. 

The future is female - Mabuhay mga Filipina!

fearless Filipinas

Accidentally on purpose, wonder | wander | women are focused lately on remembering and honoring significant women in our lives. 

wonder | wander | world upholds the trend with this commemorative on Philippine precolonial warrior princesses. 


“While women in precolonial Philippines were often designated to the venerable position of the babaylan, it was not an uncommon occurrence for them to pick up arms and become warriors.” – Perry Gil S. Mallari, The Filipina as Ritualist and Warrior
