MANILA – In celebration of National Women’s Month, the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), through its Women in Sports (WIS) program, will recognize 140 outstanding female Filipino athletes, coaches and sports leaders at the 2025 All-Women Sports Awards.
The event will take place March 15, starting 2 p.m., at Century Park Hotel Manila in Malate.
In collaboration with the Philippine Commission on Women, the event highlights the PSC’s commitment to gender inclusivity in sports. It will honor a diverse group of women who made significant contributions to the industry, including the 2024 Paris Olympics delegates, top sports executives, pioneering female coaches, and women spearheading unique sports initiatives.
“This Awards Night is more than just a celebration. It’s a tribute to the progress we’ve made in women’s sports. We want to honor not only our athletes but also the coaches, sports executives and individuals behind the scenes who work tirelessly to advance gender equality in sports,” Commissioner Bong Coo said in a news release.
This year’s top honorees are Olympic bronze medalists Nesthy Petecio and Aira Villegas, both set to receive the prestigious Athlete of the Year award.
“Commissioner Bong Coo’s initiative is truly inspiring because it promotes inclusivity. This event acknowledges athletes across all categories — elite, para-athletes, Special Olympics participants and even masters athletes like myself,” pole vaulter Judith Staples said. (PR)
