IAM Filipina recently hosted a heartfelt and inspiring Mother's Day celebration titled 'Her Journey: Motherhood, Money, and Me Time' at the Abesq Doha Hotel & Residences at the C-Ring Road.
The event offered an empowering platform for Filipinas in Qatar to reflect on the multifaceted roles of motherhood, financial independence, and the importance of prioritizing self-care.
Anchored on the theme 'Being Present', the event featured powerful and honest conversations led by panelists Rio Calma, Cynthia Defonturom, and Kristina A. R. Olase.
Each speaker shared personal stories of resilience and growth, underscoring the vital role that mothers play—not only through their daily responsibilities but through their emotional presence and intentional engagement with their families.
The audience warmly received the speakers' insights, with active participation in open discussions that fostered connection and solidarity. Adding to the celebratory atmosphere were thoughtful tokens of appreciation and surprise treats for all attendees.
The program was hosted by Winnie Aguilar, with Dr. Clarinda Estrella serving as the forum moderator. Members of the IAM Filipina Executive Committee were in attendance, including co-founders Dr. Karmela Palma and Annaliza Diet, along with Glenda Santos from the Mentoring Committee and Gloria Montefalcon from Marketing and Communications. The seamless and impactful execution of the event was made possible by the Events Committee, composed of Marilou Riveral, Angeline Dominique Estrella, and Jamee Clare Estrella.
Through events like these, IAM Filipina reaffirms its dedication to uplifting and empowering Filipina women in Qatar—fostering dialogue, community, and a strong sense of support for every stage of their journey.
