    Topnotch Southeast Asian women leaders chart a more dynamic stance for women and sports in Southeast Asia

    • POC

    The Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) is hosting a back-to-back women in sports business function on November 27 and 28 this year in La Bella Boutique Hotel, Tagaytay City.

    Topnotch women leaders from the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) of the 11 Southeast Asian countries are converging to revisit the state and challenges facing women and sports, and to discuss ground-breaking solutions and initiatives for this sector.

    Happening in Tagaytay is a 2-day milestone gathering of women leaders in sports in the Southeast Asia. This is the first time in the SEA region that two important meetings of women in sports are collocated in one venue, and proudly in the so-called Character City of the Philippines,” said Cynthia Carrion, chair of the POC Women in Sports Committee. 

    The Southeast Asian NOC Women in Sports Summit is a high-level round-table sharing and discourse about women in sports. Delegates to the summit will be welcomed by Mayor Agnes Tolentino, the wife of the POC President Abraham Tolentino. Mikee Cojuangco, who is the Philippine representative to the IOC, will share updates on the IOC Olympic Solidarity programs, and initiatives on women and sports. Meanwhile, Philippine government initiatives on women and sports will be shared by Commissioner Celia Kiram of the Philippine Sports Commission.

    Participating in this high-level gathering are Myanmar’s president of Women and Sports Federation, Khin Khin Lay, and its vice president Yi Yi Win. They will be joined by two other women leaders in sports in Myanmar. Also attending is the head of the Malaysian NOC Women in Sports Dato' Paduka Mumtaz Jaffar, together with its member Nurul Huda Abdullah. NOC Secretary Grace Ching of Singapore, will be joined by the two top heads of NOC Cambodia, Prak Somphas and Srey Sivleng. Laos will be represented by Chittakone Chanthamalin from the country’s NOC Women in Sports Committee. The full participation of all members of the host NOC Women in Sports Committee is expected to make the consultations and workshop more exciting.

    In same venue, the Southeast Asian Games Federation (SEAGF) members are converging to discuss the role, participation and chances of women in sports in the 30th SEA Games.  SEAGF Chairperson Karen Caballero of the Philippines is presiding this meeting.

    The Tourism Promotions Board, in its campaign for sports tourism, is actively taking part as host of the fellowship night, while the Philippine Sports Commission will be hosting the summit lunch and farewell dinner. The 2-day business functions will be managed and facilitated by the MARCOMM, a marketing and communication company that specializes in organizing high-profile business and commercial functions in sports, trade and tourism.PR
