Some claim that starting a business can be affected by several elements: economic performance and trends, consideration of rivals, and social factors like gender ratio, to name a few.
In the Philippines, women have equal opportunity as men when it comes to education, political leadership, employment, and entrepreneurship. Women entrepreneurship is not only encouraged but is given needed support by the government and private groups, in fact, 51% of entrepreneurs are female.
It could be said that women entrepreneurs have indeed made their mark in the business industry. Notable female frontrunners like Cora D. Ong, founder of CDO Foodsphere, Inc., a thriving food product manufacturing company, boldly declared that “I never saw a difference between men and women. Women are very much involved now and many are very successful in their own fields.” Mariels Almeda Winhoffer, IBM Philippines’ first female country manager, came back to serve her country even after having lived in the United States for a long time. These women are just a couple of examples that prove this statement true.
